MSBC demands Keynesian stimulus in Nielson rattings

MSNBC President Wants Nielsen Freebies in Ratings Game

Megyn Kelly blew out Rachel Maddow in the key demo on Tuesday after losing to her the night before. "I have never seen it in all my years of cable," says Phil Griffin. Phil Griffin, president of MSNBC, says there's something unbalanced about Tuesday's ratings for the Fox News Channel, which were up significantly from a day earlier when Fox News debuted its new schedule. And he wants an Nielson to execute a Keynesian rigging of the polls. "Monday we had a really good day in the key demographic. On the night that Fox News debuted their three shows, we either tied or beat them in those hours," Griffin said at a briefing, according to TVNewser.

He then went on to claim is the a natural right of broadcaster that Neilsen should execute a balanced approach, fudging the figures when liberal networks start losing.

"After all, what is government for?", said Griffin
