MSNBC Collapses to Fourth Place: Loses 12% of Viewers
Breitbart ^ | 7/30/13 | John Nolte

Posted on 07/30/2013 7:05:58 PM PDT by Nachum

This year's bad news for MSNBC has only gotten worse. The "Lean Forward" network has struggled in the ratings since the Boston Marathon bombings exposed the network's glaring weakness when it comes to news gathering. MSNBC had hoped to turn that around by going all-in on with the Zimmerman, but it didn't. Compared to last year in July, MSNBC was down -12% in total viewers and -4% in the 25-54 demo.

"Morning Joe" lost -4% of its viewers, -8% in the 25 to 54 demo. Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O'Donnell all took huge hits over last year. Hayes is down -27%, O'Donnell's down -29%, and Maddow slid -19% in total viewers. The numbers were not much better in the 25-54 demo.

” Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, and Lawrence O’Donnell “

The entire contingent of idiots should be in strait jackets but keep it up guys. Let’s go for last place.

I have heard that ratings do not matter. The cable companies pay the costs. Cable subscribers pay monthly for channels that are in the subscriber list.

I refuse to pay for this channel and other liberal crap stations. I have long ago canceled any type of cable or satellite. If more would do this MSNBC and others would be out of business.

My math skills are not the best in the world so maybe someone can tell me what a 12 percent loss of viewership means when they only had 5 viewers to begin with

I'm pretty sure this is a mathematical impossibility, unless one of them lost a leg.

Actually, they are now behind CNN twice - behind regular CNN and CNN Headline News.

What about Al Sharpie? What were his ratings?

And what about Chris Matthews?

Lucky for me, I can not even get PMSNBC or Commie News Network. I do get FOX and Aljazera via my G-Sat.

They’ve lost 12% of their viewership? They’d better do something or the other 88 people might leave, too.
