MSNBC host Rachel Maddow’s May ratings were her worst monthly showing since The Rachel Maddow Show debuted in 2008, and the liberal network suffered double-digit drops overall in primetime viewership (20 percent) and the 25-54 demographic (19 percent) from last May, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Partly to blame for Maddow’s drop are the continuing woes of All In with Chris Hayes, which began in April to replace Ed Schultz and has been a ratings flop. Maddow even finished behind perennially struggling Piers Morgan:
The soft start for All In With Chris Hayes has not helped. Hayes, down 32 percent in total viewers from The Ed Show last May, has offered a poor lead-in for MSNBC’s primetime flagship The Rachel Maddow Show at 9 p.m.. The show delivered its lowest-rated month since it debuted in Sept. 2008 (717,000 total viewers) and its second-lowest with adults 25-54 (210,000). Maddow was topped by typical time slot victor Sean Hannity and, in a rare feat, CNN’s Piers Morgan.
Winner FNC, posting modest year-to-year losses in the key demo, was still number one across all of cable in both primetime and total day. Heavily covering White House woes like the Benghazi hearings, the network averaged 1,246,000 daily viewers (up 24 percent) and 236,000 adults 25-54 (down 5 percent) for the full day. Primetime saw 17 percent growth with 1,973,000 total viewers and a 6 percent dip with 308,000 in 25-54.
CNN is in significantly better shape than it was last May when it hit 20-year lows. The network’s year-to-year growth brought in a third place 465,000 total viewers for total day and a second place 660,000 total viewers in primetime, growth of 61 and 70 percent. CNN’s demo jumps were more considerable, rising 92 percent to 161,000 adults 25-54 in total day and 97 percent to 225,000 adults 25-54 in primetime.
More likely “worm in mouth”.
Well FNC has all the fun stuff this year: investigations of corruption, of abuse of power and having a reporter of their’s targeted by the justice department.
What has Maddow had the past month or so as material?
The tornado and then last night she and the other MSNBC shows spent the night making fun of Bachman, pretty weak material they have to work with.
HA HA .................
Guess being a flaming hiomosexual and a hater of everything America does sell to well...........
Yep, I hesitated to comment because I did not want to be labeled, “grammar police” or “spelling police”.
I write it as, ‘bated, signifying the missing letter with an apostrophe.
I wonder who the chief advertisers are for the MSDNC demographic:
- Unemployed
- Living off parents
- $200k in student loan debt
- Spends available cash on drugs and tatoos
- Hates corporate America and all products not made within 50 miles of their location
I have a niece that fits that description.
She is a sick puppy.
So... Lesbians are attracted to other women. Got it.
One presumes they are attracted to women because they are not manlike?
So what type of Lesbian is attracted to another woman who tries her best to be manlike?
How is a masculine lesbian trying to attract other lesbians any different than a hetero man applying makeup and wearing heels in an attempt to attract hetero women?
Life was so much simpler before we had 28 different sexual orientations.
I cannot believe that is the same person! Blond and tan, she looked lovely! What the hell happened?!
Her?
How fitting that the basement dwelling network MSNBC is mostly viewed by grown children basement dwellers.
They do look remarkably alike when they are wearing glasses.
Everytime I happen to view a few seconds of Rachel's show, she's analyzing Fox News. It's a hoot!
Morning Joe has fallen back as well. FNC's morning show continues to trounce them at a 3-1 (or more) clip.
Roger Ailes is laughing all the way to the bank.
[So what type of Lesbian is attracted to another woman who tries her best to be manlike?]
I too have wondered about that and all I could come up with is that it is form of insanity.
Even Olbermann is laughing at her
Every time I see a photo of Maddow, I think of a modern version of an old SNL skit:
“Quien es mas macho: Rachael Maddow or Chris Matthews?”
Not bad. Not the worm, the attempt at humor.
So, I gather you must have been surprised, pleasantly I hope, that I didn’t go with the ‘Grammar Nazi’ epithet routine in responding to your comment.
I don’t usually try to correct other people’s grammar, I have enough problems of my own, especially with commas, where and when to use them
Except the iPhone and iPad.
