So despite all the squawking, MSNBC fades even more

[soccer_maniac]

FoxNews really dominated cable news ratings.

Lou Dobbs should get higher ratings as he's the only one covering the illegal immigration crisis.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

I wonder how Glenn Beck's show is doing on CNN Headline News.

[pissant]

And Tucker is right where he belongs. In the bottom of the pile sniffing Olbermans and Chrissy's feet.

[tobyhill]

Imus and Olbermann have been knocking O'Reilly pretty hard but who's watching since they can't even get a 1 rating between the two of them? Ba-Bye Liberal POS MSNBC!!!

[kingu]

MSNBC's highest rated show: MSNBC Investigates... .4 share, 371,000 viewers.

CNBC's highest rated show: Repeats of Deal or No Deal .3 share, 367,000 viewers.

CNN's highest rated show: Larry King Live 1.0 share, 1,059,000 viewers.

FOX's highest rated show: The OReilly Factor 1.8 share, 2,141,000 viewers.

But, gosh, didn't the NY Times just tell me that this is a liberal nation?

[Txsleuth]

WEll..Dan Abrams may not be as stupid as we thought...the MSNBC Investigates DOES get better ratings than their night time shows..LOL

[COEXERJ145]

Lou Dobbs should get higher ratings as he's the only one covering the illegal immigration crisis.

He's a one hit wonder and they do not get high rating no matter what they're covering. Besides, Dobbs is nothing but a far left wing hack who only cares about immigration because he thinks it is a tool he can use to destroy the GOP and President Bush.

[TheRedSoxWinThePennant]

I was wondering the same thing. But whats great is that Brit's show which comes on at 6pm eastern when most people are just getting home for work is still beating Larry King who is on in prime time.

[Patrick1]

Olbermann obviously isn't showcasing John Dean nearly enough.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Did you really think that Democrat, liberal moron, Dan Abrams was going to do anything with MSNBC? MSNBC will go nowhere until GE/NBC fires the whole lot of losers they have in the program makeup!!! Abrams is not the problem, it's the GE/NBC management. They are living in the Liberal, Left-Wing, Democrat "Traitor/Treason" Party, MSM "Bubble"!!! Poor Abrams does not have a clue!!! The whole network is a joke, and....not a good one at that!!!

[mrsmith]

Desite all the shilling NBC News does for them Imus and Matthews are at .3!

Amazing. NBC News should use their advertizing for something people might actually care to watch.

[Patrick1]

And Olbermann says he is beating O'Reilly in the coveted 25-54 age group but these numbers show O'Reilly with four times the numbers in that group. Another liberal lie.

[tobyhill]

I heard that crap recently and couldn't believe they were trying to pimp that BS.

[pollyannaish]

Lou Dobbs should get higher ratings as he's the only one covering the illegal immigration crisis.

Or perhaps most people are looking for an overall perspective and balance on many issues, not just that one. As significant a problem as illegal immigration is, the concern of the average American has been vastly overstated by those who can think of nothing else.

[Patrick1]

MSNBC should hire me to fix their network, I would start with Limbaugh and go from there.

[tobyhill]

Matthew's will try to increase his ratings by talking more about the "leak" of Super-Duper Secret Agent Valarie Plame.

[finnman69]

Someone put MSNBC out of their misery and pull the plug.

[Mikey_1962]

MSNBC could show M*A*S*H re-runs and pull better numbers..

[pollyannaish]

LOL.

You know, I am a huge Rush fan. But imo, he is great where he is.

I think when it comes to news, we need more guys like Brit Hume.
