MSNBC Crushes Fox Thanks to GOP Debate
Liberal cable news network MSNBC crushed rival Fox News in the ratings on Tuesday night during primetime thanks to the airing of the GOP Presidential debate.
The debate, which drew 5.4 million viewers overall, was the first one featuring Texas Gov. Rick Perry and it more than delivered for MSNBC.
In the key A24-54 demographic MSNBC registered a whopping 1.7 million viewers in the first hour, which was more than Fox attracted between 8 and 11 p.m. combined. It was also more than eight times the average number of viewers that regular MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell attracted the night before.
Maybe this will give MSNBC president Phil Griffin food for thought about what type of programming viewers really want.

Let them relish in it—it’s not going to last long!!!!
I think you are exaggerating things. This was an insolated instance and in no way tells us this is going to be the trend.
In fact, the next day, when Obama gave his speech, Fox News is back on top, way, way ahead of the the three other cable channels combined.
I hate to say it, but I think your judgment is utterly flawed in making such hyperbole. Sometimes it’s much better to keep quiet than to get yourself embarrassed in not exercising more restraint.
