Double positions in Ratings

With several people standing in for the same Talk Show Host, I have been forced to do double ratings for the same show. For instance, Mike Malloy on the Randi Rhodes Show pushed up that Shows Ratings, while the screaming and obsolete repetitive nature of Sam Seder, put down the show into the toilet.

Mike and Peter remain at the top of the ratings. Randi's Show hosted by Mike moved into 3rd place, while Randi's Show hosted by Sam went to the bottom of the table.

Sam wants to be in the good books of Randi, so he keeps repeating again and again that Randi is the Goddess of Talk Radio! He may think so, but not many out here do!

On his own show, Majority Report, he has kept claiming that the Right Wing talk Show Hosts keep throwing Softball Questions to their guests. When he had an opportunity to intertiew Congressman Sherrod Brown of Ohio, all I hear were softball questions from Sam - he never even asked Congressman Brown about the Paul Hackett affair!

Look at the difference between him and Mike Malloy, who explained to the audience BEFORE the interview that his interview with someone on Randi's programme was within the limits laid down by Randi's Show and not his!
