First, I'm always amused when Liberal blogs bring up TV ratings. Even with his supposedly collapsing numbers, Glenn Beck blows everyone at MSNBC out of the water. For example, in Thursday's numbers, Beck carried 3.9 times more viewers than his time-slot counterpart Chris Matthews on MSNBC, and 4.1 times more viewers than Blitzer on CNN who also shares the 5 PM hour. Beck's audience is about twice the size of Olbermann's or Maddow's even though both MSNBC hosts occupy more favorable time slots.
