Networks hide badly rated shows by misspelling their names in Nielsen submissions

Neilsen isn’t new. That they are just now just discovering that their system doesn’t maintain data integrity is inexcusable. I get that sometimes user submitted data can’t be verified (first name: Marry, Mary, Merry, Mari). But the list of shows that exists or has existed is a known quantity. That they don’t check submitted show data against the list of known shows is surprising.
