CNN beat MSNBC in total viewer on both days, in primetime and total day.
FNC won in all demos and total viewers. I wonder what kind of ratings ‘The Five’ got on Sunday.
Wow, what happened to MSNBC? Didn’t run sex and prisons?
RAZ…
BSNBC always fails when they don’t have articles bashing conservatives. What a pitiful waste of TV airtime.
Once again, Apple Stinx, you beat me to the punch!
