They are upset because when the real numbers come out and their horrible television shows receive their true ratings, they stand to lose millions in advertising revenue. Well, that's not Nielsen's fault, who has no stake whatsoever in whether a show's ratings are high, medium, or low. Perhaps Murdoch's people need to figure out how to put out quality shows as opposed to hijacking the ratings system for their own self-serving purposes.
