Just So You Can Add it to the List Closeted Roy Cohn (as opposed to Little Roy Cohn), Matt Drudge was WRONG again with one of his so-called exclusives. Yesterday, Drudge wrote that Nightlines ratings were down last Friday, and lower than they were the Friday before. Unfortunately, this was completely and utterly wrong. "ABC News's "Nightline" scored nearly 30 percent more viewers on Friday night than it did the rest of last week, according to preliminary numbers." ... The preliminary rating is about 22 percent higher than the show had done the previous Friday in the metered markets. In fact, it's the biggest metered-market rating for "Nightline" during a May sweeps since 2002. And it's all the more impressive because "The Fallen," as "Nightline" called its Friday program, aired in only 52 of those 56 metered markets. Matt Drudge, About as reliable as a Baathist General. Developing.
