Everyone’s a winner as networks spin the results of the ratings.
The 2009 ratings race may be over, but it hasn’t seen any of our networks demonstrating any more manners just yet.
With the end of the survey year, the three commercial networks began issuing press releases in which they were claiming all sorts of victories, spewing out enough statistics to bamboozle the best of us.
Some even accused the others of moving the goalposts.

Well how about that. We’ve arrived at the big Final Three on this Amazing Race of ours. And does the group of six look like you thought it would a few weeks ago? No, me neither.
I mean, the Globetrotters are gone??? How in Sam Hill did that happen? Those dudes were total front-runners and then they just… crumbled. And that they lost to Brian & Ericka, one of our bumblingest couples, is an extra special surprise. Last night’s leg was entirely B & E’s to lose, what with their late start and Speed Bump and all, and yet they showed that with perseverance, sticktoitiveness and, well, a whole heaping plate of luck, you can emerge victorious against…
