great morning for morning joe.
I question the Fox News ratings simply because I find myself everyday turinign to Fox for abut five minutes and then watching CNN for the rest of the evening. I guess I contributed to Fox ratings when I do that. I am a conservative but I think America's news reporting that is supposed to be fair and balanced is skewed and biased.
Frank, if you're a Nielsen family your 5 minutes of Fox viewing would be added in with all the other viewer data. If you're not a Nielsen family, your viewing doesn't count!
