The previous DUmmie FUnnies EDITION demonstrated the laughable excuses the DUmmies have come up with to explain the high ratings of Fox News. In this DUFU edition we are treated to yet more DUmmie excuses only this time it comes in the form of FUnnie excuses to explain how MSNBC's Rachel Maddow has plunged so steeply in the ratings. You can see the DUmmies struggling to come up with excuses in this THREAD, "Rachel Maddow's Audience Down Nearly 55%." I can give you the easy explanation for her epic fail: she stinks! So what will MSNBC do when they have to ditch Maddow? If the past is prologue, most likely replace her with yet another leftwing loon who will also fail in the ratings department. So let us now watch the DUmmies attempt to explain away Maddow's failure in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, noting that Blowhard Ed Schultz is doing even WORSE in the ratings than Rachel, is in the in the [brackets]:
Rachel Maddow's Audience Down Nearly 55%
[To know her is to avoid her.]
MSNBC’s 9pm Rachel Maddow Show has seen its adults 25-54 audience, the demo that cable news advertisers target, fall by nearly 55% from Q4 2008 through Q2 2009.
[The chart above tell the story of her disastrous ratings plunge. And now on to the DUmmie excuses...]
Ouch. That's not promising.
[Mr. Understatement checks in.]
Isn't all cable news down significantly since the election? Why pick on Rachel?
[Sorry, Fox News has held steady since the election. Please think up another lame excuse.]
Either Hannity and O'Reilly have way more dedicated fans or I say there something rotten with those numbers. I mean O'Reilly's numbers haven't moved at all, which seem completely illogical.
[Perhaps the ratings were determined by Diebold?]
I guess you could say that Fox viewers are more loyal, particularly O' Reilly's viewers. I watch Rachel's show but if there's something else I want to watch or I have something to do, I skip it. Maybe Fox viewers have nothing better to do than watch Fox.
[The only thing else to do is watch YOU, DUmmie blue_onyx, on the DUFUs.]
The numbers still seem odd. It looks like June numbers did rise. But FOX numbers jump up to pre-election levels. The other channels don't. I don't think nothing else on TV answers why. It's summer time, people go outside and do stuff. Maybe the other poster is right and FOX is collecting all the crazy by being anti-Obama, but really I would think they'd already max that audience. It just seems really odd.
[An odd DUmmie comes up with an odd excuse.]
Nope sadly Fox is on pace for best year ever
[LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
I think that's a false positive for FOX. Just like Limbaugh's numbers don't show the truth. Lots and lots of people who watch FOX and listen to Limbaugh don't agree with them at all and are watching just to hear the latest craziness.
[Don't you DUmmies argue that you NEVER watch Fox or listen to Rush?]
I've stopped watching. And I'm the only viewer that I care about.
[Proclaimed DUmmie HiFructosePronSyrup...]
Any particular reason or it just sort of work out that way?
[Inquired DUmmie ThomWV...]
Any particular reason? Just her being a stupid sack of shit.
[Responded DUmmie HiFructosePronSyrup bluntly.]
She's the only one talking continuously about the LGBT issues for example. No one else can be bothered.
[YAWN!]
Maybe it's her time slot. I'd love to see her on earlier...
[Or maybe it is just HER.]
lately she is really rubbing me the wrong way.
[Try laying on your back and perhaps she will rub you the right way.]
I LOVE her show, but it is summer.
[Then watch her continue to Fall in the Fall.]
She is smart and a great analyst, but as a host I find her a bore.
[Hey, at least she scored in two out of three departments.]
I lost MSNBC when Comcast changed my cable package. I can't afford to upgrade, so now I only see clips here from Keith and Rachel.
[Lucky you.]
This is made up crap presented without the benefit of any context or source. It is nonsense on the half shell. It is also posted with bad intent if you ask me. And the same old crowd shouts yes, yes to this utterly meaningless bit of non information. Fodder for fools.
[Is that you, Baghdad Bob?]
I would bet Rachel's numbers would be drastically improved if Internet viewers were to be counted.
[Please continue clinging to that lame excuse if it gives you comfort.]
Rachel is the voice of sanity. We are lucky to have her. I don't understand it either.
[We will now pause as a DUmmie attempts to get a clue.]
I dont think she has a good time slot
[So put her on in the 8 PM slot so she can FAIL there as well.]
Time of the year and time slot. . .
[Can't you think up at least one more lame excuse?]
. . . if it were the only show on all channels all the time.
Well, maybe not.
Quit talking about her slot!
I lost MSNBC when Comcast changed my cable package. I can't afford to upgrade, so now I only see clips here from Keith and Rachel.
Awwww poor DUmmie.
But don't blame Comcast, blame YOUR DUmmie democrats in Congress and fellow Progressives with HD TVs.
MSNBC was aired in analog. When the digital change mandate came MSNBC was moved from Basic Cable to the next package up. Plus customers wanted more 'HD' programs and MSNBC was one.
But who the (blank) has 'Basic Cable' anymore? You only get like 20 channels, including the networks. He could move up a package, get a digital box and his MSNBC for about $10 more a month (that's only one less Pizza).
btw, I'm no big fan of Comcast. I have their Digital Cable TV and their Broadband Internet and these thieves nickel and dime you to death. A dollar here, a dollar there, then pretty soon your Bill is $12.00 more. And this 'inching up' is an ongoing process with them. Its like death by a thousand cuts.
Rachel Maddow - A face and voice made for text messaging.
I haven’t had the nerve to sign up...I just lurk and laugh.
What the heck is there concerning “LGBT issues” that warrants “talking continuously?”
Exactly my take. It’s actually quite funny.
LOL!
Great minds think alike. See tagline.
Obama hasn’t paid for his cable bill yet, but he did pay for his gas and mortgage.
Great minds think alike. My wife chuckled and called me cruel last night when I said Rachel Maddow’s parents were Johnny Cash fans, but they thought “Rachel” sounded better than “Sue.”
It seems Rachel has some misgivings about barry that the DUmmies and other moonbats do not like.
Again, it is THEY who have stopped watching her, but yet must invent some cockamamie excuse as to why her numbers are dwindling.
Do any of these "people" own a mirror?
In all seriousness, it wouldn't surprise me if the reason she suddenly has misgivings has to do with Obama throwing the gays under the bus. He hasn't done one thing he promised them he'd do, and he's still the highest ranking gay marriage opponent in the USA.
If you cross barry, you go. That is DU’s most recent motto.
Not surprising. The Dear Leader is not to be criticized, and some animals are more equal than others anyway.
Can you do me a favor and say “TV show host slot”, instead of “slot”? It is just that she worked so hard to get that title, yes, thank you.
I think she is a he. I didn't know that either before reading this thread.
Being a bit stingy with the Kewpie Dolls, Peej? That post sort of deserves one....
Who is Rachel Maddow?
Same with me. I know if I were to sign up, I would only last a few posts before I got the axe. It is impossible for me to pretend to be part of the "Reality Based (Hate) Community". I tried once at the kos potty mouth kids site a few years ago. I lasted three posts.
