All they need to do is "Lean Forward" and it will all be over quickly.

Despite a heavy period of news that included the Boston Marathon bombings and the Jodi Arias trial, MSNBC's second-quarter ratings plunged to their lowest level since 2007.
In primetime, MSNBC drew an average of 584,000 total viewers and 196,000 viewers in the key 25-54 age demographic. Those numbers were down 16% and 12%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2012. And they accounted for quarter lows not seen since the fourth and second quarters of 2007, respectively.
The network had seen signs of this coming in some dreadful monthly ratings, particularly in May. The same factors contributed to the network's ratings decline over the full quarter. "The Rachel Maddow Show" suffered its lowest-rated quarter in terms of total viewers since 2008. And June alone was the lowest rated month ever for Maddow in both total viewers and in the 25-54 group.
New host Chris Hayes continues to pull in sluggish ratings for "All In With Chris Hayes," which in its first full quarter on air provided MSNBC with the lowest-rated 8 p.m. hour in the 25-54 demographic since 2006.
It comes as a disappointment to a network that built much post-election hype while surging in the key 25-54 demographic immediately after President Barack Obama's re-election. BuzzFeed said MSNBC was poised to challenge Fox News, but that hasn't been the case.
Here's a look at the year-over-year plunge:

Fox News continues to remain at the top of the ratings among the cable networks, its 46th consecutive quarter there and 138th consecutive month. In total viewers, Fox News beat CNN and MSNBC combined in both total day and in primetime viewers, while surpassing both in the key 25-54 demographic.

Well, they’ve depended on backing the Left’s most loony ideas for ratings. Now that the loony Left has passed into law most of those ideas, what’s left to advocate for, for ratings?
Hope and change has come and gone.
MSNBC still has it’s nose stuck in the window, and there’s nothing Left to see.
Kind of haunting actually...
Symptoms begin with a tingling up your leg.
I’m so concerned...
I do watch CNN, and I get a hearty dose of liberalism there. I can’t do MSNBC. It’s too liberal.
You’ve got the right idea, so you get the credit.
How about MSMVD?
Mental
Venereal
Disease
Ah yes, the ones that show up on FR periodically condemning the Baby Boomers for everything.
All they need to do is "Lean Forward" and it will all be over quickly.
and we will much about that be committed.
Obama lovers and other leftist they pander to don’t care about news - neither real or that stuff MSNBC puts out.
I just hope any people that do jump, wait until the others are down on the street. I’d hate to see a good opportunity go to waste. :^) Good graphic there...
Can’t get a gayer slogan than that.
Why does anyone try to cater to 25 year olds ? They’re too busy watching, making and being the subject of ‘fail’ videos.
Pardon me while I wet my pants from laughing so hard.
Dreadful? To whom?
> MSNBC is: More Socialist Nerds Becoming Communists
