I am sooo happy to see BOR consistently beating KO in the ratings. Maybe MSNBC should have thought twice before becoming “the obama channel”
well actually Msblog, i think msncbc becoming the “obama channel” has been effective for them, since there ratings are higher now then they were last year. And the off chance that obama becomes president, msnbc wants to be the answer to foxnews was for bush
1,289,000 viewers (282,000) what the number in bracket mean and p2+ anyone wanna explain and break it down 4 me.thank u
