MSNBC lost to CNN on both days in Total Day P2+. FNC only lost on Sunday in the A25-54 demo.
You took the words right out of my mouth, Apple Stinx.
APPLE!! GET YOUR HANDS OUT OF RALPHIE BOY’S MOUTH!!!!! (you dont know where his mouth has been!)
here’s an idea…while we’re at it, let’s relentlessly do something else just as laughably stupid- Let’s, on a weekly basis, compare what The New England Patriots performance is versus the 2-bottom high school football teams in the The Boston Unified School District.
FOX News, viewed in far fewer homes than NBC/ABC/CBS, is a far more accurate league for comparison-purposes than matching-up FOX News with MSNBC, The National Enquirer, CNN, and D!kes on Bikes.
Purely from advertising-dollars point of view, my point is indisputable…
