Hilarious. Media Matters thinks that Beck’s show on Fox is in trouble because it’s down in viewership from a high of 3 million to 2 over the last two months.

“It sure looks that way, as Beck’s ratings continue to sag.

Bottom line: Over the last nine months, Beck gained and then lost nearly one million viewers. Trust me, in the world of cable news, that’s not small feat.

Based on the numbers I’ve been surveying, it looks like Beck hit his (non-vacation) 2010 low last week, on April 9, when Nielsen tagged his audience at 1.96 million. By way of comparison, during late January, Beck was averaging more than 3 million viewers each night. And since September of last year, Beck had been averaging approximately 2.5 million-plus viewers each night. But recently, in the wake of the health care reform passage, those numbers have been heading south. Fast.”

Really now? What a fact challenged outfit like GSMM fails to tell is that all cable shows (except the usually low ratings of MSNBC and CNN), saw spikes and declines over the last two months, mostly due to the Obamacare fiasco. Actually Becks ratings still cream MSNBC’s big three, Olberman, Maddow and Matthews combined on any night of the week. Note that this is still the case in spite of Media Matters funded boycotts of Becks advertisers.
