I'm not usually a diarist, but I don't see this anywhere and think it's pretty interesting: MediaBistro's TV Newser is reporting that two nights this week, the Rachel Maddow Show edged out Bill O'Reilly in the all-important adult 25 - 54 demographic.
The number one show in the demo on cable news is always, always “The O’Reilly Factor” unless there is some sort of unusual news event or huge booking.
Last night, there was no big news event, but the number one show in the demo was MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show.” This is despite the fact that O’Reilly had a big (and younger-skewing) guest in Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart. Maddow at 9pm drew 703,000 demo viewers to O’Reilly’s 682,000 at 8pm
Maddow wins two in a row
If Rachel can keep it up, they say it could potentially be "seismic." Is the country finally getting tired of the Fox lies? Here's hoping.
