    stewart + maddows in primetime < beck in the afternoon

    stewart + maddows in primetime < shep in pre-primetime

    if you can't beat beck with two stalwarts of the left media, i wouldn't call that huge.

    What huge ratings?

  • TfT

    Those are good ratings for Rachel – although she is leading the MSNBC pack these days, she usually just breaks 1M. Her ratings were lower than Keef’s return show which had nearly 1.5M. You would have thought that with such a big “get” as Jon she would have outranked Keef from his Tuesday show, but alas.

    Rachel will soon replace Keef as the marques anchor, which will then allow Phil to actually grow a pair and stop taking direct orders from Olberman himself.

    I still don’t understand why you guys masturbate to a cable channel.

  • Dandee

    It is very hard for me to understand WHY anyone would waste their time watching Madcow. Every thing she says, SHE thinks is funny. She never gives the truth about anything, only her thoughts on the subject. Don’t need what her thoughts are. I like to read and hear the news that is truthful. That must be why not even ONE of the above mentioned on MSNBC cannot beat FoxNews. It seems that the Libs are still running scared because they have every other station praising everything they say and still cannot persuade FoxNews. Believe me, FoxNews is always giving both sides of any story.

  • notsofast

    She STILL lost to Hannity!

  • lane

    Thanks for including the ratings info, helped to keep the context that ‘huge’ is only relative to the low bar set for non-Fox news shows. She has no competition, her numbers should be much higher.

    I don’t understand why you are a coward hiding behind a phony name? I don’t understand why you are stupid. Very few people can understand why people like you exist.

  • The Real Royal King

    Arguing about cabnle “news” ratings is moronic. No one scores well.And, you guys are arguing about ratings failures that got audiences of 1/2 of 1% of Americans! Geez!

  • The Real Royal King

    Sorry. Cable.

    Actually, I think most people (those who have been with a woman) can understand why people like me exist.

    What is it about Fox News that is so titillating?

    Ask the hosts on MSNBC, they’re the ones who can’t stop talking about Fox.

    “(more than Greta Van Susteren the next hour on Fox News)”

    Krakauer needs closer supervision. The argument can be made that if Van Susteren were playing head-to-head against Maddow + Stewart, Greta STILL might win and of course, even in that ‘elite’ demographic, Sean Hannity trounces MadCow. However, RM does outdraw the lame loser from 8PM-9PM that MessNBC still allows to pollute their airspace, or whatever space cable ‘news/agitprop’ that KO propagates pollutes.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    I will help you with the Headline Mr Krakaur!

    FOX CONTINUES TO KICK MSNBC’s ASS IN RATINGS!

    Use it whenever you do a column on ratings.

    You can thank me later.

  • disenlightened

    TOP MSNBC show? Sorta like BEST scene in Gigli or BEST episode of The Gong Show.

  • disenlightened

    By the way, how many writers does Jon Stewart have? I forget. Maddow interviewed a comedian with a huge staff of writers. This was big stuff. History book stuff. Very important.

    The top of the bottom. Now ain’t that cool!

    If you’re saying that Fox hasn’t much of an audience, what are you saying about their competition? Everything is relative here.

    Speaking of relativity, Mr. Beck has the largest percentage of viewers amongst his competitors in that time slot. If Ayles were as shrewd as he’s supposed to be, Mr. Beck would be on in Hannity’s time slot, Hannity would be on an hour later, and Greta would be in the 5:00 PM slot. Fox would still be number one in all timeslots.

    YOU’RE one to talk ratings, “Mr. Show.”

    BTW, your listener died of boredom. Your “ratings” are back to absolute zero.

    “I don’t understand why you are a coward hiding behind a phony name?”

    I don’t understand why you put a question mark at the end of a non-question(?)

    The only reason you use your name is because you’re flogging your pathetic “show.”

    ” I don’t understand why you are stupid. ”

    Because you’re a clueless simpleton?

    “What is it about Fox News that is so titillating?”

    Right-wing p0rn.
