O'Reilly's Ratings Up: 3 Mil Viewers Tues.
In the three nights that Bill O'Reilly has anchored the Factor since the lawsuits began, his ratings are up nearly 35% vs 3Q 04, Nielsen data shows. He averaged 2.4 million viewers last quarter, but he's been over a million each night since the dueling sex suits (Oct 14, 18, and 19 -- he had a substitute anchor Friday night). The Factor was one of cable's top 40 shows last week -- the only news show to make the list.
Sources point out that FNC's competitors covering the O'Reilly suits continue to fare poorly. 360 averaged 490,000 viewers, Dan Abrams earned 263,000, Countdown had 444,000 and Norville had 234,000 last night...

Ah ha! Clever ruse just to improve ratings!
Figures Fox would pull something sneaky like that!
Now that means Larry King will have to blow Clinton to counter act this for Cnn!
