   NBC News Star & Race Specialist, Rev Al – second in demo for the whole network. That’s got to suck if you’re management or a advertising Rep.

   CNN released a Poll today with a straight face that has Obama beating Romney Nationally 51%-38% !!! Obama at 51%…and beating Romney to boot ???? What a complete joke and people wonder why CNN’s ratings eat crap in the toilet they swim in…

   “…second in demo for the whole network. That’s got to suck if you’re management or a advertising Rep.”

   Actually, I’m sure MSNBC is alright with being second in the demo. You have to be realistic about these things; In case the low production values and prison documentary marathons didn’t tip you off, MSNBC is operating on a budget that’s around 1/3rd of CNN’s and FNC’s, as per the State of the Media data D.D. posted here a while back. Relative to their investment, NBC Universal is getting a decent return. The one that really looks ugly is CNN, yet they manage to make a profit, so I guess they can continue to coast on brand reputation, and a stronger web presence than the other two networks.

   Errr – As to your broader point, about the fact that Al Sharpton is actually outperforming all of their other shows except for Maddow, that’s a bigger problem. MSNBC is a really monotone network; I could basically say “I really hate that show on MSNBC that’s hosted by the guy with the irregularly large head that’s always yelling,” and you’d have no idea if I’m talking about Ed, O’Donnell, Chris Mathews, or Dylan Ratigan. They really need some more even-toned hosts.

   Good point, and d.d. posted a great chart about a month ago showing MSNBC in fact was making a decent profit. But I’ll say this as well though, with the current downtown NBC is going through now including losing the Morning show slot now, with GMA getting first place, they may be somewhat concerned at NBC\Universal.

   @upandover

   Funny how to “mock” and “attack” Jesus Christ and The Bible,? all you have to do is correctly quote The Bible…

    Sarah Palin co-hosted FNC’s “Paying at the Pump.” Her numbers Friday night were higher than the typical Greta numbers in the same timeslot.

    @Upandover

    How is Obama mocking the Bible? Everything he stated was fact. There are instances in the bible where they say slavery is ok or killing babies is alright(as long as it’s in the name of god). It’s sort of funny when you hear people say how the Quran is, it’s like maybe they should read their own book first before you start throwing stone at glass houses

    Hillary Clinton Offically changes name to “Party Animal” Clinton

    Nice ring eh?

    Hillary is “partying” because she won’t be campaigning for Obama and she’s begun the countdown to Jan 20, 2012.

    In regards to Obama’s comment here is a list of everything Leviticus says is wrong(something which people who oppose homosexuality like to point to)

    “As examples, in Leviticus 20:13, God gets a bit more specific about what should happen to homosexuals when He says: “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them”; in 20:9 there is an instruction that children who curse their parents must be killed (in Deuteronomy 21:18-21, God goes a bit further and orders the death penalty for children who are just disobedient); in 11:6 we are told not to eat hares because they “cheweth the cud” (??); in 11:10 we are prohibited from eating oysters, prawns, lobsters and calamari; in 11:19 we are told not to eat bats (because they are birds!); in 15:19 we are instructed to quarantine menstruating women; in 19:19 we are told not to wear polyester and cotton blend shirts; in 19:27 men are instructed not to trim their beards; in 19:28 tattoos are prohibited; in 24:16 there are explicit instructions to kill blasphemers (including the method of killing); in 25:45-46 we can find the instructions on how to get and keep slaves; and let’s not forget that women are only worth half as much as men (27:3-7). If you don’t obey all these laws to the letter God will have some of your children eaten by your enemies (26:16), some eaten by wild animals (26:22), and you will have to eat the rest yourself (26:29). It’s just as well that God only meant the parts about homosexuals being bad and was joking about the rest, isn’t it?”

    @REM
    If I’ve one things about polls and Americans is that they change their minds every week…very fickle. By the way, National polls mean nothing…it’s each individual STATE polls that matter. The only thing that matters from a National poll is the independent vote…and in that very same poll you’re referring to, President Obama is leading the independent vote by 6 points.

    Just something for the lefties here to chew on !

    “Do you know what the real threat of stay-at-home moms is to leftists? They don’t need government! They are the essence of individuality. Stay-at-home moms are the essence of rugged individualism, and they don’t need the state.” -Rush
