Didn't MSNBC Boast Top Primary Nights Coverage?

I believe they ended up being #1; so you can sure as hell fill in the blanks. No network takes a "winning" team and dumps it so that it can end up on the bottom of the ratings. In a word, corporate America said "you put them on and bye, bye advertisement". The putting Pres. McCain in the White House is just beginning. Obama will be a footnote to history in about 4 weeks. You are not going to ever get your country back from the people who own it..ever! We are the peons and they are the "money".

Here’s some cable/broadcast viewer data and historical/competitive comparisons about the McCain speech and the Republican National Convention last night. I’ll be posting the complete cable news data momentarily.
MCCAIN SPEECH 10-11:15PM
FOX NEWS – 9.2 MILLION
NBC – 8.7 MILLION
ABC: 6.0 MILLION
CBS: 5.3 MILLION
CNN – 4.8 MILLION
MSNBC — 2.5 MILLION

McCain and Palin’s speeches tied to mark FOX News Channel’s highest rated convention telecasts in both FNC’s history AND in cable news history.
McCain’s speech is tied for FNC’s third highest telecast in its history along with Gov. Sarah Palin’s on Wednesday night (9.2 million viewers) – these were only bested by the Presidential address on the eve Iraqinvasion on 3-19-03 (9.7 million viewers) and a Bush/Kerry presidential debate on 9-30-04 (9.5 million viewers).
Nearly ¼ of the 38.9 million viewers watched this speech on FOX News.
FNC’s primetime average last night of 7.4 million viewers was the highest rated primetime convention coverage in the network’s history and marked the third highest rated primetime ever for FNC……only eclipsed by election night 2004 (8.2 million viewers) and the Bush-Kerry Presidential debate on 9./30/04 (7.5 million)
FNC beat CNN & MSNBC combined for the speech from 10-11:15pm and in prime-time

And for Obama's speech

The final night of the Democratic Convention, featuring Obama’s speech, lifted CNN to wins in prime-time for viewers, adults 25-54 and adults 35-64. What is likely to be a rare trifecta after this week for them.
The 10-11pm hour featured monster ratings for all the cable newsers. CNN topped out at 8.056 million viewers winning the hour and besting its broadcast competition.
P2+ Total Day
FNC – 1,359,000 viewers
CNN – 1,503,000 viewers
MSNBC – 849,000 viewers
CNBC – 204,000 viewers
