After a day of figuring out who's trying to end the feud between Keith
Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly and continuing with a look at Olbermann's
reach at MSNBC (and then putting the whole thing to a poll), how about
looking at two recent ratings notes concerning the major players?
• With Rachel Maddow filling in on Countdown and E.D. Hill filling in
on The O'Reilly Factor, MSNBC enjoyed a big A25-54 demo win on Friday
night (416,000-309,000 viewers). MSNBC also finished first in the demo
at 7 and 9pmET, with CNN placing second in both those hours. FNC won
in total viewers.
• Thanks to the interview with Sen. Hillary Clinton, The O'Reilly
Factor on FNC placed sixth and seventh in the top time-shifted
programs for the week beginning April 28. Time-shifted ratings are
based on the percentage of increase between live data and live+seven
day data. "Increases like that from DVR viewing of 7%%+ are very rare
for any news program," writes Bill Gorman.

"One of the subordinate male chimpanzees

Chimpanzees have other, sometimes surprising talents. Under laboratory

cannot untie knots). They can classify and group objects into...

It only seems that way because it takes a while for actions to have
consequences. Bush's ignorance of warnings about Al Qaida led right
to 9/11. I'd give Bush credit if he had done thing one to prevent but
his reaction was to go on vacation.
Invading Iraq is probably the worst foreign policy mistake in US
history.

We should've "been stuck" with Al Gore. He would have reacted
immediately to the terror threat and the threat of global warning and
he would've kept the budget balanced.

These guys are entertainers. They get paid to say entertaining things.
They pander. Both (FOXMSNBC) are a corporate cross marketing stream.
Both sell things by pretending other things, like points of view and what
is news.
