Hey Steve:

Point for clarification please: other sites (mediabistro and TVBytheNumbers) have different totals than you have posted here. What’s up with that?

Those sites show no show other than FNC had over 1M viewers in totals. AND, the other numbers show Olbermann still had the number one “non-fFNC program” (which always makes me laugh) show.

Then again, it’s Monday and I had a long day….so maybe I’m reading the other sites wrong?

Can you clarify please.

PS: O’Reilly was out also, Laura Ingraham subbed.

lol, I love the headline…You can make anything sound better then it is, by the way you word it.
