FUZZY MATH AND SELF-CONTRADICTION FROM DRUDGE

Drudge tries to belittle the attention paid to Super Tuesday:

'QUEER EYE STRAIGHT GUY' BEATS SUPER TUESDAY NEWS COVERAGE; 1.6 FOR BRAVO STRIP TO FOXNEWS PEAK 1.4 RATING... MORE

No, foo', Queer Eye didn't beat squat. Super Tuesday was not a Fox-only enterprise, so let's look at the rest of the ratings he posts lower on the screen:

MTV 'REAL WORLD XIV' 3.2 [RATING]
BRAVO QUEER EYE 1.6
FOXNEWS 8 PM 1.4
CNN 9 PM 1.3
FOXNEWS 9 PM 1.0
CNN 10 PM 1.0
FOXNEWS 10 PM 0.9
CNN 8 PM 0.8
MSNBC 8 PM 0.5
MSNBC 9 PM 0.5
MSNBC 10 PM 0.3

Queer Eye is on at 10 PM. Let's see, Fox 10 PM (0.9) plus CNN 10 PM (1.0), plus MSNBC 10 PM (0.3) equals 2.2, more than half a rating point higher than the Bravo show. All three cable news networks were showing wall-to-wall Super Tuesday coverage last night.

Why didn't Drudge cite MTV's Real World XIV, which had an even higher rating than Queer Eye? Well that's easy: It's likely that the majority of the audience for that show is below voting age. Still, I'm surprised that didn't stop him...
