MSNBC has lost a large chunk of its audience due to its biased coverage of the Hamas attack on Israel over the course of this week.
The leftist outlet’s viewer figures were down 24 percent overall for the four days between October 7 and 10, when the conflict between Israel and Hamas terrorists began.
Meanwhile, Fox News’s audience jumped 42 percent, and in CNN’s coverage saw a 17 percent rise
“These numbers tell you a lot about MSNBC, which excels at Trump-era liberal therapy but can’t match others during global historic events,” Puck media reporter Dylan Byers wrote.
The New York Post reported:
The liberal media continues to run interference for Hamas and its atrocity campaign in Israel.
Witness MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asking an Israeli mother of two children taken hostage during Friday’s terror raids, “What are your feelings about the attacks against Gaza right now?”
The lefty host was clearly looking for her guest to echo Mitchell’s own equivocation on the issue.
But the mother responded, with justifiable anger: “You’re looking for a symmetrical situation. I can’t be sympathetic to animal human beings — well, they’re not really human beings — who came into my house, broke everything, stole everything, took my children from their bedrooms and took them to the Gaza Strip. Israel has never done that, and it will never do. So there is no symmetry!”
Precisely correct: Between Israel and Hamas, there is no symmetry.
And there never will be, no matter how hard the US left tries to pretend otherwise.
The Daily Mail reported:
MSNBC has come under fire for its coverage of the atrocities in Israel, with an an Israeli mother whose two sons were taken hostage by Hamas exploding at MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell on Tuesday night when asked how she feels about Israel’s counterstrikes in Gaza.
Renana Gomeh, whose two sons, age 12 and 16, were kidnapped by Hamas, became visibly irritated when Mitchell asked her feelings on the attacks in Gaza.
‘I can’t be sympathetic anymore. I can’t be sympathetic to animal-human beings — well, they’re not really human beings — who came into my house, broke everything,’ said Gomeh.
‘Stole everything, took my children from their bedrooms and took them to the Gaza Strip.’
By contrast, Fox News reporter Trey Yingst has won praise for his fearless coverage of the shocking scenes unfolding in the Middle East.
The Israeli Defense Force took reporters, including Yingst’s Fox News crew, to Be’eri, just three miles from the Gaza border, on Tuesday.
The kibbutz was known as an artistic and farming community of 1,200 people, but on Saturday it was overrun by Hamas terrorists who attacked with grenades, guns and knives.
The site was not declared safe for outsiders until Tuesday: all the bodies of Israeli victims had been removed, but the burnt and mangled corpses of Hamas fighters were still lying in heaps on the outskirts of the kibbutz.

They’re still out there. That’s all that matters. Will streaming and cord cutting mark a difference?
They have no shame. They hate America, simple as that.
As soon as ANYONE starts with the “both sides” argument, I immediately just turn it off, regardless of the source.
I am not interested in the debate anymore, in truth I haven’t been interested since 9-11. I just want Islam wiped from the face of the earth.
FNC has not yet slipped up and treated hamas as an equal {but I've only watched the Five on FNC}.
Sorry to say, MSNBC didn’t lose a single viewer due to bias. Fact is, not a single viewer of MSNBC would know bias if they featured live and in color on a TV news special.
That Andrea Mitchel clown can go pound too!
Deep state libtard!
Love to see someone stick a microphone in her face to ask about something horrific that happened to one of her loved ones!
Ughhhhh!
MSNBC is COMCAST
COMCAST is an American enemy
COMCAST into the Lake of Fire.................
What an apt description.
MSNBC might as well just rebroadcast Al Jizz. Same themes
I find the loss of 33% to be unbelievable. You KNOW the crowd that regularly watches MSNBC leans left, harbors ill will towards the Jews, and supports the Palestinians/Hamas. Any biased reporting that makes Gaza look good and the Israelis look bad, is going to give MSNBC-watchers sexually orgasmic palpitations.
Besides...where will these MSNBC watchers go...to Fox News? Right.
Exactly!
10 people quit watching?
Dancing With The Stars was on...............
MSNBC - The Raghead Channel
So, 1 of the three changed the channel?
Sat on the remote.......................
I’d love to see this wind up as a “Bud Light” moment for MSLSD.
I image they have (had) a decent sized Jewish viewership.
