MSNBC’s Phil Griffin suggests investigation into Fox News ratings blowout
7:58 PM 10/11/2013
 
MSNBC president Phil Griffin suggested journalists should investigate how the ratings for Megyn Kelly’s new 9 p.m. show on Fox News shot up on its second night after debuting behind MSNBC.

When Kelly’s new show debuted Monday on Fox News, her competitor Rachel Maddow held her own in the ratings, and even topped Kelly in the key 25-54 demographic, according to Nielsen Media Research. But on Tuesday night, it wasn’t even close with Fox News dominating the rest of cable news.

Griffin complained about the jump in an interview Friday with TVNewser’s Alex Weprin.

“Monday we had a really good day in the key demographic, on the night that Fox News debuted their three shows, we either tied or beat them in those hours,” Griffin said. “Tuesday — you guys should be doing some investigations — 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.”

“I have never seen it, they did election night numbers in the demo Tuesday,” he added. “Wednesday it came back down. I complained, I was like, what?”

The Daily Caller reached out to Nielsen for comment, but so far has received no response.

Just like a liberal to complain someone is doing better and should be investigated, which is blowing smoke, rather than looking at himself and his network to find out what they are lacking.  As the Bible suggests he should worry about the board in his own eye before he worries about the sliver in someone else's. *look*

“Wednesday it came back down. I complained, I was like, what?”


Now there's a role model in speech and deportment for you.....    :thud:
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I watched my grandson play flag football this afternoon. Someone pulled his flag, he got mad, and threw the football down. My son, the coach, threw him out of the game, so off he went, crying to his mother. Later, my son told him to take it the lumps, or not play the game, among other daddy chat. He is seven years old, and is learning. These idiots are adults, and should get out of the game if they can't take the lumps.
