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.

CABLE WARS:

Friday August 23 at 8 PM ET: O'Reilly 1.0; Connie .6; Donahue .1

9 PM ET: Larry King 1.1; Hannity and Colmes .7; Hardball w/Matthews .3

10 PM ET Greta 0.7; Brown 0.5; Nachman .2

Too good to be true!! I'll quote another Freeper from a few weeks ago:

"What's the matter Phil? Your brand of HATE not selling so well these days?"

Liberal clap-trap is SOOOOOOOO hard to sell.

Hell, even with Dumbawho trying to dispense it, they can't GIVE it away.

There IS a God!

Now, when do Serpenthead and Begalla (The FOREHEAD) go away?

Too bad they dumped Alan Keyes in favor of this clown. Keyes was just getting really good at it.

QUESTION.

Will MSNBC can Donahue BEFORE he achieves a Nielsen rating of 0.0?

I had no idea Hardball and Nachman were doing so bad.

I've noticed MSNBC becoming more and more liberal in their reporting in their regular reporting as well. And it started about the time they launched their ad campaign claiming to be an independent, objective voice. What a joke!

"I think free speech is the best defense against...facism!"

I understand a .1 is great ratings for the 1930's.

This is as funny as an old article I posted years ago (it is now unavailable.)

That article was about how Al Franken's sitcom (yes, he had one) and set an all-time record for the worst ratings in television history.
