I posted this on the Monday’s ratings. But I guess you haven’t read it yet, so this is the 2nd day in a row that Nancy pulled off the “demo” (double) non-FNC & it looks like Nancy came in again as the highest total viewer show again.

Steve am I missing something? How did you come up with Chris Mathews as the Demo winner and Countdown in total viewers????

The way I see it, Nancy Grace wins the demo as well as total viewers. Grace had 267 in the demo at 10 pm or 259 at 8:00 pm. Mathews top was 236.

In total viewers Grace had 782 to Countdowns 726 at 8:00 pm

Nancy. Oh God, she’s awful! Beyond awful. An obnoxious cretin who appeals to the Goon Crowd. A crazed canary in search of a cage. She and Glenn Beck would make a pair. Talk about intellectual emptiness!
