Nielson wants to know what television we watch
Who, besides Bill O"Reilly, should I sabotage?

Of course I'll support Rachel and Keith.

3. Tell them you watch Glenn Beck, but only when you feel like stomping on kittens for fun.
If you sound like a real psycho, they'll believe you actually watch Beck.

4. I used to work for Nielson in FL
Trust me, most of mid America watches Sanford & Son and TOONS. Keith is watched big time on both coasts, hardly anyone tunes in elsewhere. TDS barely registers at Nielson. This is why Sarah is so popular.

5. I did that several years ago.
Keith had only been on the air about a year back then, and it was long before most of his fans had discovered him via his "special comments." I feel like my putting his show down on my Nielsen survey helped boost his early ratings. "Michael Jackson Puppet Theater" WAS the best thing on the air at that time, as was the rest of "Countdown."

As for sabotaging shows, anything listed that is on another network will be a strike against anything on PoxNews.


Michael Jackson Puppet Theater for those who have never had the pleasure of viewing it: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7277380/

i can't think of anyone besides oreilly, beck, hannity and morning joe you should sabotage. i think we're all kinda divided on tweety.

does tivoed programming count for nielsen? i wouldn't suggest staying up for it, but craig ferguson is awesome and could always use more viewers.

8. I believe Tivo is now counted
but I believe those viewers are counted quite a few days after the original broadcasts.
