Fans go nuts, target Nielsen for protest
bizjournals.com — Fans of the cancelled CBS series "Jericho" -- who sent more than 20 tons of nuts to network offices in New York and LA last year to earn a shortened second season of the show -- are planning to conduct a much smaller campaign against Nielsen, which they accuse of being a "monopolistic bully with a firm hold" on the $2 billion television ad industry

We measure programming that is viewed live, on a video recorder and on a PC, and we are confident that our ratings provide a fair measure of what people are viewing."
I wonder if these people can actually keep a straight face when they utter this nonsense. - flutterby10, on 05/09/2008, -0/+11We are an independent, neutral arbiter that has invested heavily in making sure that we provide the most accurate measurement possible.

Nielson asked my co-worker to join...He told them he doesn't even have a TV. According to him, they said "that doesn't matter, you count." Counts what??? Doesn't show his preference for one show over another.
"fair measure of what people are viewing" ?? How do they figure that??? - Norsu, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5Lets save Season 3 of Jericho and exspose Nielsen for what they are an unchecked monopoly running an aniquated ratings system and treating American workers in Oldsmar poorly!
