Seems like Larry had a really great night, but the show wasn’t really anything special — wonder what caused the bump up…

Every other day on his TV show, the O’Rielly Factor, Bill O’Reilly is always talking about how bad MSNBC is doing in the ratings and now I can see why.
Bill- I’m wondering about the demo numbers for Hannity & Colmes and Larry King at 9 pm. Those numbers seem really high and the Fox numbers match from the 8 pm ones. Just curious?
Polly, I don’t have any particular insight on those numbers, but it is quite a coincidence that the demo numbers are the same for 2 hours in a row, but not inconceivable.
Mistakes could have been made further up the chain prior to us receiving the data.
Eddie: “Every other day on his TV show, the O’Rielly Factor, Bill O’Reilly is always talking about how bad MSNBC is doing in the ratings and now I can see why.”
MSNBC has been putting out false information about their ratings and how great their doing. I appreciate BOR calling them on it. Most Media outlets have little integrity, but MSNBC has none whatsoever. They are despicable.
Bill – Thanks!
Bill – Thanks!
