Greta Van Susteren vs. Anderson Cooper Round III: Ratings Cheating

Continuing her battle against Anderson Cooper, Greta Van Susteren takes to her blog once again in Round III of the bloodsporting she's been enjoying.

Van Susteren is relaying concerns from her own Fox News and MSNBC, reported by TVNewser, about CNN's decision to title its 10pm election coverage broadcast Anderson Cooper 360, which attaches to Cooper's show the ratings gains that the networks inevitably capture during election nights.

It's been CNN and FNC's standard practice to retitle this programming as "special coverage," so Nielsen doesn't award viewership spikes to a show that's not actually airing in its normal form.

Following the Nielsen conference call, 360 executive producer David Doss called his competitors' stance bullshit: "It’s an absurd argument. It’s not as if the primaries are staged for CNN’s benefit. It’s the biggest news of the day. Of course it counts."

Our take? Who cares if it should count. Just make sure there's enough material to keep this Greta-Anderson mudslinging action a'coming and we'll be v. v. happy. Thanks!

"Tell me, does Greta babe have a “thing” for Anderson?" Debateable, but "she" isn't exactly "his" cup of teabag.
