Tuesday Ratings: Matthews Gets Blitzed, Situation Room Tops Hardball In Demo

 

With its standout coverage of the dramatic developments in the Trayvon Martin case with — in Jeffrey Toobin‘s words — one of the wackiest press conferences ever seen with George Zimmerman‘s former lawyers, Wolf Blitzer‘s The Situation Room topped Hardball in the demo Tuesday night. Blitzer beat Matthews (164,000 to 117,000) though Hardball had more total viewers.
