SBD: "RISE IN NBA ALL-STAR RATINGS;" BLOOMBERG: "NBA RATINGS WORST EVER"

The just-past NBA All-Star Riots, Murder, Spitting, Slobbering and Lobbing Contests in Las Vegas seems to have different Nielsen TV Ratings. It couldn't have anything to do with money or politics, could it? Who cares about life and death anyway when you're living in a toilet? SBD fails to mention the blood, death, suffering and disease that the NBA brought to Las Vegas. A compliant, apathetic electorate will easily accept this. From Sports Business Daily:

• "TNT sees a rise in NBA All-Star ratings, posting a 5.1 overnight cable rating for Sunday’s game. Meanwhile, Las Vegas residents and community leaders look back on the weekend’s festivities with somewhat mixed reactions, and ESPN.com’s Bill Simmons and AOL’s Jason Whitlock offer vivid reviews of the weekend online." (SBD, 2/21/07)

Bloomberg News reports the following on the All Star Torture Chamber in Vegas:

• Feb. 21 (Bloomberg) -- "Television ratings for the National Basketball Association All-Star Game fell to a record low on Turner Network Television. The Feb. 18 game in Las Vegas was watched in 4.2 percent of U.S. households with cable television, according to numbers compiled by Nielsen Media Research. That's down one percent from last year on the Time Warner Inc. cable network." Reported by Larry DiTore

Bloomberg only reported on the game, made no reference to "mixed" reviews from others. "Ratings for NBA All Star Game in Las Vegas fall to record low," Bloomberg News, 2/21/07

• Thanks to Chris Russo, WFAN in New York for reading on the air one of the "vivid" accounts of what really happened in Las Vegas. This country is being run like a third world toilet. Thanks a bunch.
