MSNBC wants Fox investigated
2013-10-13
From Weasel Zippers: Some funny sh*t
Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC, says there's something fishy about Tuesday's ratings for the Fox News Channel, which were up significantly from a day earlier when Fox News debuted its new schedule. And he wants an investigation.
Fishy? Yes! Like rotten fish you suck!
He should have cheese and crackers to go with his whine...
"Monday we had a really good day with our three viewers On the night that Fox News debuted their three shows, we either tied or beat them in those hours," Griffin said at a briefing, according to TVNewser.

"Tuesday -- you guys should call the waahmbulance ; I have never seen it in all my years of cable -- same overnight, same everything. And they doubled their ratings in a day? It is impossible." Griffin continued, "I have never seen it. They did election-night numbers in the demo Tuesday."
Very revealing: Election night numbers

#17  FTA: At 9 p.m. on Monday, MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show beat Fox News' new The Kelly File, hosted by Megyn Kelly, by a slim 10,000 viewers in the key demo.

So it was a pretty small value of 'beat'. How to explain the Tuesday bump in numbers? Consider:
1) Monday is sports night, which will suck viewers away.
2) The Fox shows debuted Monday, so they probably benefited on Tuesday from some water-cooler buzz.
3) No comment on the appeal Rachel Madow's boyish good looks (heh!) vs Megyn Kelly's hotness, or the actual content of either station

#11  Sort of a competitive bailout. Makes sense from the perspective of the half witted, twisted, hate-consumed Left.

#4  IRS, Fast & Furious, IRS... lots of investigations are needed but to wonder why a hot news girl our rated Rick Maddow does not require Nancy Drew or Sherlock Holmes to solve.

#3  If you ask me the anomaly was on Monday when PMSNBC's ratings were spiked.

#2  Take note, this is part of the Left's mind, a total incomprehension that somebody, anybody could have a belief system other than their own. It will never enter their minds that maybe their numbers are the artificially manipulated ones.

#1  MSNBC has too much time on its hands, try some real investigative journalism and maybe your ratings will go up... I suggest a few like ... voter fraud, sasquatch, birth records...
