TV Loser?

TV Newser is getting slapped around pretty hard. FTV Live is mad at TVN for stealing its stuff, and in the meantime, Inside Cable News seems to be coming on strong.

For its part, The Cable Game has noticed that the post-Brian Stelter TVNewser seems to be carrying a lotta water for the employer of TVN editor-in-chief Chris Ariens, which is MSNBC.

That, uh, conflict of interest might explain why TVN does so many Olbermann posts, and why TVN madea big deal about a tiny, very tiny, Keith Olbermann win using Live + Same Day data for 25-54 on a Friday--and dubs that a significant trend. Yet, TVN failed to update his post, as did ICN, when Bill O’Reilly kicked KO's ratings butt the very next Monday.

But even juicier is this post from FTV Live:

Shortly after 6PM yesterday FTVLive opened up our email box and found 146 messages from people telling us that new TVNewser editor Chris Ariens was stealing our shit again and not giving FTVLive credit.

As you know FTVLive reported FIRST that when Fox launches their business channel they will be giving on of the prime time spots to radio money talker Dave Ramsey.

We posted that story at 5:35AM.

12 hours later TVLoser TVNewser writes "An emailer asks: "What well known radio host and author has been signed for a prime-time gig at the new Fox Business Network?"

Chrissy must think that the people that read TVN don't read FTVLive. He must figure that he can rip stories off and no one will know.

And then FTV Live concludes with a kiss to ICN, for running the story, with credit to FTV Live, and another brickbat at TVN:

TVNewser has all but lost any credibility that they might of had. Juging by the emails FTVLive got last night, it looks like they are doing a good job of losing eyeballs as well.
