Translation: Arianna Huffington's Been Frozen Out At MSNBC

The Huffington Post inexplicably touts CNN's last week's "major ratings victories" over Fox News and MSNBC.  Bill Gorman at TVbytheNumbers snorts it's bullshit.  CNN's still third behind Fox and MSNBC - and "n total primetime viewers, CNN ranked No. 29, behind both MSNBC (27) and Fox News Channel (4). In total daily viewers, CNN ranked No. 22, ahead of MSNBC (29) but still well behind Fox News Channel (6)" Business Insider  CNN may have slid past Fox and MSNBC in the daytime demo with all that breaking news last week (oil spill, Greece, Times Square bomber), but when all is said and done, the real numbers don't lie.

After the Huff Post ran a piece by the ex-druggie actor Donald Sutherland ripping MSNBC's Joe Scarborough a new one, perhaps Arianna's (left with HLN's Joy Behar) been blessedly banned from thin-skinned MSNBC. 

Sutherland's rant came just a couple of days after "Morning Joe's" special Sunday post-White House Correspondents' Dinner all- night drunk with Arianna holding court at 8a with the sun-glassed Hollywood duo still clad in low-cut gown and tux.
