50% TRUE

Matt Drudge tries his darndest to minimize the impact of Paul O'Neill's revelations by posting some tv ratings:
FLASH: O'NEILL '60 MINS' INTERVIEW [9.1 RATING/14 SHARE] TROUNCED BY FOX FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS [30.4/43] IN OVERNIGHTS...
There's some interesting sleight of hand at work here. In half of the country, 60 Minutes and the Eagles-Packers game were not in direct competition.

Besides, I have a strange hunch that more people watched the NFC Divisional Playoff games than 60 Minutes the same weekend last year too.

Anyway, my condolences to Matt Drudge for his sadness in that he wasn't able to report that O'Neill had checked into a "mental institution" while working with Suskind on the book.
