Sadly ratings don't always reflect the quality of a program. Although I usually don’t watch MSNBC I did watch this special and it was excellent in my opinion.

In all respects, if the same program was on every network, the ratings wouldn't be great for everyone. Diversity exists and each see their good days, FNC during tabloid stories which the other networks choose not the cover, CNN when actual breaking news happens, MSNBC ..... when a good special is on.

"Other sites" (aka TVnewser, where any OlbyLoon goes to) use DVR numbers which Spud does not. No advertiser cares about DVR numbers. They are irrelevant. KO came in 4th. Deal with it.

This completely insignificant "celebrity" appears to be more important dead than when she was alive. Thank goodness for Anderson Cooper's Planet in Peril series which has been excellent and informative.

When those with functioning brain cells rely on actual evidence, however, Keith Olbermann remains in his routine FOURTH place out of FIVE, not only in total viewers but also in the critical, key, all-important, much-loved demo. How long will it take for some fool in some American publication to humor us with the latest fawning tribute (#10,001?) to Olbermann, making the same fatuous, unsupported claims about Olbermann's "impressive" ratings, "expecially among younger viewers"?
