Who's right: CNN or Tweetybird?
Today on Hardball, tweets declared that the viewers can't get enough of Wright. Paraphrasing: This is what they want to hear about. They can't get enough of it. And our ratings prove that.

Apparently, Jouhn Roberts and CNN think otherwise. Today Roberts declared CNN a Wright free zone and said viewers want them to move on.

Help. My head is spinning.

1. Tweety enjoys the stimulation.
Pastorbating is just a new way for him to be titillated. It goes right up his leg. :puke:

4. Well, the two networks probably play to different audiences.
Psychographically, CNN viewers are more mainstream and many want some serious information to help them figure stuff out, like who they're gonna vote for. MSNBC viewers I suspect tend to be a bit more committed to the process--wonkier, if you will--and are either looking to be outraged by or validated in their political viewing. Matthews probably does draw a more immersed audience than CNN--and thus has an audience more whipped up by the ancillary bullshit that passes for 24 hour news today. If CNN viewers want gossip, I image they go to TMZ or Access Hollywood like a normal person would.

So they're both right about their different market segments.

5. I am not sure
I'd have to see a poll about how Americans feel about the news about Wright.

7. well, we can sure help MSNBC with those ratings. Except for Keith,
I'm on an MSNBC strike. Okay, so in all honesty I've been on a cable news strike for months (except for KO) for months...
