Cable news ratings, December 6, 2010:

•MSNBC’s ratings were down across the board Monday night, with Chris Matthews‘ 7 p.m. version of Hardball even beating both Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell and finishing second only to Countdown’s Keith Olbermann, with 228,000 viewers 25-54 compared with Olbermann’s 245,000.

•CNN’s Anderson Cooper had a solid night, coming up first among all CNN shows in terms of viewers 25-54, even outperforming the high-profile edition of Larry King Live with guest Al Pacino. AC360 was still in third place compared to Fox’s Greta Van Susteren, but very close behind MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.

Mediaite is a Soros funded propaganda site. Notice how every story about Fox always has negative spin to it, but you never see such stories about ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR or any of the others? Instead we see this transparent attempt to spin outrageously horrible ratings as good.

Joyella moves up a notch in my book. He obviously doesn’t watch MSNBC.

It’s not funded by Soros, it’s funded by Dan Abrams who was demoted by NBC News due to incompetence. He also got kicked out of his time slot by Rachel Maddow due to horrible ratings… but she hasn’t really done much better in his defense.

Chris Matthews should have a speech therapist, it is impossible to listen to His “Prs…Oba..” Please let him know. One can speak fast but legibly. Thanks.
