The only time I watched msnbc was for hockey during the Olympics. They had advertisements for their news shows, one commentator said he wanted to be the viewers advocate. Just give me the news, I don't need or require your advocacy.

Ice hockey drew a bigger audience on PMSNBC than Keef! Olympic curling had killer ratings compared to Keef and The Munch, even though the entire viewing audience lived in one neighborhood in Hamilton, Ontario.

"Not a lot of black people here."

That is CNN's headline for their Tea Party coverage.  :whatever:

Ice hockey drew a bigger audience on PMSNBC than Keef!

To be fair, the game in question was the US v. Canada, but the ratings difference was ten times in favor of the hockey game.

And that is pretty impressive when you consider the Westminster Dog Show outdraws any hockey game. Keef's audience would fit in a closet.

Westminster is big business.  My wife and I watch it.  She follows it closely; I watch for the retrievers.
