I think MSNBC’s ratings would be better if they just got a moderately nice looking person to read the phone book for four hours each night. Oh, wait...

If I were a shareholder, I would demand that EVERYONE at MSNBC be fired!

I think you are on the right track.

I’d bet the old test pattern on 24x7 would easily get better ratings than what PMSNBC puts on.

Wow, no wonder Malaria Man devoted a whole show to trashing Beck last week. Glenn is stomping a mudhole in Chrissy, five times over every night. And Chrissy's cabin boy Shuster is sneaking up behind him -- with Abrams help -- to take over that prime slot.

Matthews should have run for Penn Senate and fallen on his sword in ignominious defeat -- not to Arrrlen but to Sestak, who will beat SPECTRE; and would have defeated both Donkey knobs had Chrissy demanded his $@¢ back from his wife for just one lousy year to fulfill the top item on his loser-of-all-time bucket list.

Retire now Chrissy while you still have .001% of dignity left, which you have consistently uncleverly linked to your audience numbers.

Good data.

Thing is, MSNBC is tapping out on the small segment of ultra liberals who will watch there crap, whereas more and more people are just discovering FNC. A non-political buddy just told me this week that “Hey, this Fox News channel is a LOT better than CNN!”

I wonder after watching MSNBC why any conservative or Republican would even bother going on. I know the old saying love me, hate me, spell my name right or there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Really though you could starve this network inside 3 months if conservatives stopped giving them even the vague appearence of objectivity.
