Olbermann beats O'Reilly in key demographic

I love watching The O'Reilly Factor. And I love watching Countdown with
Keith Olbermann. And I love when there's a hint of competition between
the two.

nothing, but for 15 minutes on Friday night, Keith Olbermann beat Bill
O'Reilly in the 25-54 demo."

At 8:45pm, MSNBC had 244,000 and FNC had 240,000 demo viewers. (Zahn
had 132,000 and Grace had 75,000 for the same quarter hour.)

For the full hour, O'Reilly averaged 264,000 and Countdown had 210,000.
(Zahn had 147,000 and Grace had 69,000.) Click continued for all the
quarter hour numbers...

So what is this, like the first time ever? (And only for the last 15
minutes too) Don't get too excited. Even Letterman occassionally beats
Leno in the ratings.
