CNN CO-FOUNDER AMAZED BY GROWING AUDIENCE FOR MSNBC

CNN co-founder Reese Schonfeld has taken note of MSNBC's continued rise in the ratings -- particularly against Headline News. "Six months ago Headline and MSNBC were running neck and neck, now it isn't even a horse race. The addition to Headline's primetime lineup of the outrageous Nancy Grace and the slightly demagogic Glenn Beck has done nothing to close the gap," Schonfeld wrote on his website, meandted.com, Tuesday. He pointed out also that MSNBC has been pulling out ahead of all cable news networks in viewers 18-34. However, he added, "That's not saying much because all the news networks do miserably in that demographic."
