fox continues the demolition…why doesn't msnbc just become an infomercial station…they would make more money, for sure!!
Wow Joyless lost another 1/4Million viewers from her lead-in on Monday. The CNN/HLN HR Dept must have begun working on her firing papers by now. What a disaster.

MSNBC didn't do bad. Yes, FNC dominated, but MSNBC kicked CNN's but at 8et, 9et, 10et(only lost to Greta by around 500,000 viewers), and 11et. CNN needs help!!!
Anyone notice the “MSNBC Special” that aired at 10 PM where the “Countdown” replay usually does, actually got a higher rating than “Countdown” at 8 PM?
On the other hand, both of them beat “Fox & Friends”!
At 10pm was the second hour of the Oklahoma City Anniversary thing. MSNVC will probably replay the special this coming weekend. I'm surprised they are not already replaying it every night at 10pm.
Looks like fox has peaked and is flat while MSNBC is getting better numbers. CNN is just hopeless. Fox better hope Obama gets re-elected or their ratings will tumble. They attracti all these vieweers with their anti Obama rants.
they will probably fall back to bush era rating once he isn't there and murdoch wouldn't go for that.
Fox is definitely in decline. BillO seems somewhat unaffected but Beck, Hannity & Greta are all trending downward while MSNBC is ticking up, especially Maddow. With Keith back fulltime, Countdown is back at over a million every night and providing a more stable lead-in for RMS which is fast becoming the network's #1 show. If the trend of the past month or so continues, Maddow could seriously challange Hannity by Election time.
BTW, did anyone notice Maddow's 9-11 special actually beat Greta @ 10 in the key 25-54 demo? I'm sure FNC did!
