Pretty blah day, so I thought I’d bring up a question:
Remember a few days ago MSNBC was touting how it won the November demo race over CNN (by a few k)? Why is it that MSNBC measured and based their press releases up to THAT day (November 25th I believe). Were they afraid that if the FULL month of numbers were included they would lose? (since CNN had the GOP debate AFTER those numbers were crunched)

I don’t know if a “month” in TV terms always lines up with a “month” in calendar terms. Take November Sweeps, for example. That ended a few days ago (on the 26th or 27th), but there were a few November days that didn’t count towards Sweeps.

No surprises here….
To “Anonymous”….
MSNBC/NBC News is a dishonest, biased organization, proven by the despicable “Countdown” with deliberate fake editing and constantly being incapable to produce anything other than dishonest attacks on Fox News and CNN, both far superior organizations. Doesn’t it strike you as interesting that Olbermann’s show seems to be 50% clips from his direct competition? “Fair use” is one thing…MSNBC should be sued for copyright infringement and theft of service.
Looks at the real numbers:
Morning programs P2+ (25-54)
FOX & Friends – 1,015,000 viewers (341,000)
American Morning- 471,000 viewers (177,000)

6PM - P2+ (25-54)
Special Report with Brit Hume – 1,521,000 viewers (369,000)

Since his move, Lou hasn’t come close to catching Shep and last night was beaten 2:1 in total viewers.
Just the facts mam!

Okay I just clicked on a video because it say Fox PR strikes again and it led me to MSN’s video site where they play Olby’s worse person’s crap. He was talking about Cramer and the anon Fox PR guy, then he started naming names like Alexis Glick, Liz Claman, Cavuto all of them dropped by NBC and CNBC.
Wasn’t it made clear that Liz left, even CNBC insiders were saying that and Cramer calling her a turncoat and Ailes lured Cavuto away when FNC was getting started?
Can’t trust this Olby nut.
