1. CNN's coverage was the suckiest...

:thumbsdown:

5. Agree. CNN had THE WORST coverage.

See how stupid people are?
They watched it anyway.
What a bunch of lazy SOBs. Too stupid or lazy to change the station.
Olbermann was awesome on MSNBC.

10. Lots of cable viewers don't have the option of watching MSNBC

It's either CNN or Faux.

2. That's unfortunate .. CNN is a shill station for the right-wing.

Olbermann was a breath of fresh air on MSNBC.
Screw Volf Blitzer, Malveaux, Borger and Sanchez.
I can't stand any of them.
I don't even see how they can stand THEMSELVES!

3. Ugh that is not good news

4. CNN is being the most pathetic

Just flipped to them, and they were interviewing a Clinton delegate with the actual caption"ANGRY CLINTON SUPPORTER!" But the delegate said that she was getting behind Obama on Thursday night. Always the drama.

7. I'm curious if CSPAN gets counted in the ratings

[maseman]

9. Yes C-Span is counted

But they don't run ads so they don't report their ratings. But they are measured.

8. Another way to spin this: 16 million viewers did NOT watch CNN.
