Web beats TV ratings for 'Crossfire' show
October 19, 2004 6:20 PM
From LostRemote.com:
Check my math. The Jon Stewart showdown on CNN Crossfire has surpassed 800,000 views on iFilm and just under 70,000 BitTorrent downloads. Crossfire averaged 550,000 viewers in Nielsen's third-quarter ratings. So unless Crossfire pulled off a huge night on Friday, more people watched the Stewart-Carlson exchange on the web than watched it on TV -- a first for a prime-time cable news show.
If you haven't watched this episode of Crossfire you're missing out. It's hilarious, insightful, and hopefully will cause some huge changes in the poor ways that the media has been doing a disservice to our country in how it covers political issues.
Jon Stewart for President?
(Yeah, Michael Moore has been saying the same things about the media for years, but Jon Stewart looks better on camera and has a more appreciatable sense of humor. Those things help.)
