good morning everybody
Good Morning 1966
An embarrassment of riches: back-to-back cable news posts by TVbtN.
@Apple
Wow. MSNBC cleaned up on Friday. :O
Jason, how do you see that? They only won in one category, and only because Fox had no counter-programming because if the holidays.
How did MSNBC clean up? I see MSNBC only higher in one small category. I wouldn’t consider that a “clean up.”
I’m beginning to think people who watch MSNBC may not be the brightest of the bunch.
I guess you guys will NEVER learn that pretty much the only thing they care about is the Demo, and that’s where MSNBC “Cleaned Up”.
@BevAG
They cleaned up by having jail(getting rid of all the criminals)
RedBarSoap, that is so misleading. Why didn’t Jason say, “Wow. MSNBC cleaned up on Friday in the Demo.”
And does Jason then also make the proclamation when Fox “cleans up” in the Demo, which is more the norm?

Bring back Shindig.
I thought only MSNBC did things like this. I don’t care for Huffington Post but….

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Tom Ricks clashed once again with Fox News (see update below).
When the network hosted him on Monday for an interview abou this new book “The Generals,” host Jon Scott asked the author to weigh in on the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
Ricks said that he thought the incident had been “generally hyped by [Fox News] especially.” He added, “I think the emphasis on Benghazi has been extremely political, partly because Fox is operating as the wing of the Republican Party.”
At this point, Scott ended the interview with Ricks after about 90 seconds. Ricks said he thought the interview lasted about half the length as originally planned. He also said that a Fox News staffer called him rude after the segment.
On Tuesday, Ricks and Fox News were still feuding. Fox News’ executive vp of news editorial Michael Clemente told the Hollywood Reporter that Ricks “apologized in our offices afterward but doesn’t have the strength of character to do that publicly.”
Ricks denied an apology ever took place. In an email to the Hollywood Reporter, Ricks wrote, “Please ask Mr. Clemente what the words of my supposed apology were. I’d be interested to know. Frankly, I don’t remember any such apology.”
UPDATE: TVNewser spoke with Clemente, who told the site that he would “refresh [Ricks'] memory” on the apology. After the segment, Clemente said that Ricks told Fox News staffers, “Sorry…I’m tired from a non-stop book tour.” Clemente added, “Perhaps now he can finally get some rest.”
It’s sad that on Friday, so many 25-54 MSNBC views were watching TV instead of spending time with their family like the Fox news viewers.

….uhhhh what? Why does THAT matter with that age range? When you are talking about it being sad that people were watching MSNBC rather than spending time with their family, why is that only associated to an age range? 800,000 more people watched Fox News rather than spending family time on Friday…..no age range associated. Only 110k more people under the age of 25 and over the age of 64 watched MSNBC over Fox.
Seems during the prime time hours of Friday and Saturday and Sunday, the key demo folks are more interested in “lock up” & “caught on camera” programs than Fox phony News. Maybe the older folks couldn’t remember how to work their remotes to change the 27/7 Benghazi news channel.
Looks like I’m gonna need to buy Tom Ricks book.
Rice convinced me it was the video. The 155 his it had were just over whelming evidence. The fact that it was 9-11 was just a coinsidence.
115 hits? are you nuts? Just the reuploaded video that was uploaded from a different uploader has hit 16 MILLION….what are you smoking?
@ RedBarSoup………………Are you saying on 9 – 11 – 2012 – ………16 million people had uploaded that site?
