Not a surprise though as mentioned in previous threads

I guess it's surprising that a single day of ratings, last Wednesday, generated such a story. I doubt they carry the week, but it might be possible.
 
Variety and AdWeek post stories on the 3 cable news channel ratings just about every day.

Just to be clear these were the ratings for Wednesday August 16th only.

What has to be concerning for MSNBC, on Thursday afternoon when the cable networks were airing breaking news coverage from Spain, ratings for MSNBC were far behind FOX and CNN, this is why MSNBC executives were trying to get rid of some of the opinion programming.
