Again, you have no way of proving *who* "really really likes her". I'm sure there are people who do - just as I'm sure there are people who find her disgusting because of her political bias, and consequential worthlessness as a "journalist". That doesn't make any difference one way or the other, since we aren't talking about popularity contests, we are talking about whether or not people like her as a news reporter. And if they liked her as a news reporter, she would have an audience. Since her audience is practically nonexistent and getting smaller by the day, it is unarguable that they do not like her in the way that is pertinent to the discussion. Whatever other angle you wish to inject in your effort to satisfy your usual pursuit of arcane debate cannot change that fact. As for "really really" liking Rush Limbaugh, while I rarely get a chance to listen to him, it's ironic that you should mention him, since he is such a terrific example of someone people *so* "really really liked" in the context of this discussion that he has the largest listening audience of any program on radio. Perhaps the demographics come into play here however.... Forgetting party politics for a moment and just considering Left vs Right - perhaps the reason Rush has such a large audience and Little Miss Muffet has such a small one is because people on the right are interested and engaged in current events, while those on the left are less engaged and more divided in their loyalties.... given the two groups that make up the democrat party, my guess is the reason even the Left doesn't watch Little Miss Muffet all that much is because one group is listening to Howard Stern or watching Championship Mud Wrestling, while the other group is listening to Prairie Home Companion while nodding their head approvingly as they glance around the room to see who is noticing them. |

Dude, they plugged Meredith in for her, and Today never missed a beat. I suspect Katie's Q rating is not near what it was... |

Most of them don't announce it, they just do it. I find it rather refreshing that a candidate actually told the the Truth. Wonder when Obama will start? |

I Owe It All To John D'Oh

Ah, we've identified the source of your misunderstanding. We are absolutely NOT talking about whether people like her as a news reporter. If Palin starts bashing her, all that matters is whether people like her generally. |

It is not my "misunderstanding", but yours. We absolutely ARE talking about whether people like her as a news reporter. The negative things Palin is saying about her are not about her as a person, but about her as a reporter. Even if you can't figure out the difference, most people can - and since it is quite obvious that most people don't think that much of her as a reporter to start with, they won't be very offended by Palin pointing out an example of why they had already come to view Little Miss Muffet as not worth watching. |
