Edited on Tue Jun-10-08 12:34 PM by kpete

MSNBC NOTCHES DEMO WIN OVER FNC IN PRIMETIME
"Countdown" Out-Rates the "Factor" for First Time Ever

NEW YORK - June 10, 2008 - MSNBC continued its ratings surge last week, with viewers flocking out of the "No Spin Zone" and to "The Place for Politics." For the first time ever, MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" was the #1 show at 8 p.m., out-drawing Fox News's "O'Reilly Factor" head-to-head among Adults 25-54. This is the first time since June 2001 that MSNBC has out-rated "The O'Reilly Factor" at 8 p.m.

Excluding Tuesday's primary coverage, "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" averaged 477,000 A25-54 vs. 472,000 for the "Factor."

3. Great news!

Maybe O'Reilly's audience, along with the GOP base, is finally starting to dwindle.

4. So O'Reilly, what's your excuse now, you coward?

In the past, whenever somebody has criticized you, you have dismissed by saying their ratings are in the toilet or something like that. No one watches the people that criticize you, right Billo? You stupid, smarmy, sick, twisted, bloated, obnoxious, warmongering, cowardly jackoff bloviating son of a bitch.

So what excuse do you have now?

5. And isnt MSNBC carried on a lot less cable systems?

Seems like beating him with a much smaller available 'viewer pool' is an even bigger deal.

7. Now that he is no longer belittling one of our Democratic candidates I can watch again.

Glad other people are waking up to good journalism.

9. so who on MSNBC out-rated O"Reilly in 2001?

I think it was Phil Donahue...

This is the first time since June 2001 that MSNBC has out-rated "The O'Reilly Factor" at 8 p.m.

But i could be wrong...
