MSNBC'S 'DONAHUE' HITS LOWEST NIELSEN RATING POSSIBLE

Phil Donahue has plunged in total collapse on MSNBC with cable viewers, NIELSEN ratings show.

DONAHUE has sunk to a basement rating of a .1, according to sources, the lowest possible rating's measure available!

Last Friday night, DONAHUE earned a .1 to CONNIE CHUNG's .6 on CNN and O'REILLY's 1.0 on FOX NEWS.

Even more amazingly, MSNBC for the entire day average only a 0.2, and it was beaten by both CNN'S HEADLINE NEWS channel and CNBC that day. (FOX was .6, CNN .5, MSNBC .2).

For the month of August, MSNBC's M-F prime time is down 21% among the key demos (25-54) from a year ago. Year over year, in total weekday ratings, FOX is up 75%, CNN is up 25%, and MSNBC is flat, with 0% growth.

I'm rolling on the floor laughing my ass off on this one here :-) :-)

Now seriously now folks, did he REALLY expect it to be any higher for all his so-called Journalism?
For all the crap he spews and his ultra-leftist diatribe the Board of Directors at MSNBC should be saying to him now "Dont let the door hit your @ss on the way out"

I am glad to see the old windbag go down.

I laughed my a$$ off earlier over this, but once is simply not enough...

LMAO

LOL - I have to say I saw this coming. Alan Keyes was getting better ratings overall than Donahue could ever dream of sustaining. What a pantload.

Phil Donahue's problems can be summed up very simply
"Would you like some cheese with your WHINE MR. Donahue?"

Or more bluntly"WHAAAAAA his pu$$y HURTS"
