It's hardly a "blatant error" or "roundly incorrect". The phrase "taking a play from the playbook" doesn't necessarily mean an exact copy down to the last detail. McDonalds is taking a tactic from Starbucks by offering WiFi. They're just kicking it up a notch by providing it for free. That “wifi” thing seems really petty.

News Corp/FOX owns Sky News, which you've linked to as having had the story for 9 days. Nevertheless, they didn't air it today to be first. Not everything has to've happened 2 hours ago in order to be relevant today. #7, FOX was essentially the first to break the story.

I forget what the exact percentage is, but 30 million isn't enough for ratings data. The sample isn't big enough and you'd see scratching in every demo, etc. Nielsen will not rate them since they aren’t in a certain percentage of households.

(the article said, unsure of link seeing that i've read about 300 in the last week) I read FBN isn’t paying Nielsen for ratings right now.. perhaps somewhere around 6-9 months.

I believe FBN will beat cnbc on its first day even though its in 1/3 the available households. When will todays FBN ratings be posted?

I like it and appreciate a very low "politics" factor. I hope it stays that way, or I'll turn 'em off faster than FNC. Anyway, I don't really like the 3 dudes sitting on a couch in close proximity.. thats a little too close for my comfort! Would there be a problem with casting a hottie for a little couch action?

I liked what I saw. I hope the Bugati's failure to launch isn't a preview of things to come. Good Luck,Fox Business. I peeped in an out during the early morning hours.
