There is not only control of the media, but now there's an attempt to manipulate the advertiser dollars and the success of some shows versus others.No offense to BOR, but this isn't a surprise. The way Nielsen figures its ratings has always been suspect. I've never been able to figure out why advertisers put up with it.

This would also explain why “conservative” shows never last on TV.
I quit watching TV about six years ago.
