It’s been reported that Newt Gingrich will pull out of the GOP race, maybe tonight during his primary concession speech. News numbers should be higher. Ron Paul still in La-La Land. (And, I don’t mean Los Angeles).
Mondays blues hit MSNBC Monday night
Its weird to see ratings that high for CNBC. I know its the NHL playoffs, but still.
Al Sharpton needs more Trayvon Martins to happen.
Erin Burnett, time to take off your clothes.
I take it FOX Business Network isn’t going to program new primetime shows any time soon(outside of Lou Dobbs Report). It wouldn’t surprise me if Current TV is beating them in primetime in certain demos.
MSNBC continues it’s lackluster programming, ho hum ratings and
employment of failed talking heads.
COMCAST should adopt a new logo ‘ THE DESADE NETWORK” !
I noticed ABC recently permitted Keith Olbermann to appear on
it’s network. More brilliant programmin.
The 5, the show that would “never make it”, kicks everybody that MSNBC has in both overall AND the key demo! Mathews cant beat em with two shows an hour apart! They pull more in the 5 oclock slot than Eddie and Rachel put together in PRIME TIME!! But yet, Comcast just keeps on with their killer line up! ROTFLMAO!!!!
Several websites and the Stephanie Miller Show have run audio of Sean Hannity claiming he has friends who subsist on rice and beans. The word “friends” refers to people whose homes a person visits and whose “friends” in turn visit HIS home. If Hannity has “friends” whose cupboards and refrigerators are stocked with copious amounts of Uncle Ben’s rice and Bush Beans, he must visit them while slumming. And he probably hires bonded security guards when they visit his mansion: http://www.radio-info.com/newsletter/html/tri-04232012.html
>>> Several websites and the Stephanie Miller Show have run audio of Sean Hannity claiming he has friends who subsist on rice and beans. <<<
How f–king trivial!
@glavin
I heard that too.. Loved it when he tried to reason with the starving family and started to rant about how to shop “John” hung up on Hannity. Lmao!!
What a low life trying to say what poor starving people should live on. Beans and rice everyday??? Go F yourself Hannity!!
you know what would happen if ANYONE on MSNBC or CNN would’ve said that?
NOTHING…NO ONE WOULD KNOW….GOOGLE WOULDN”T KNOW.
Looks like about 1/4 of MSDNC’s viewers self-deported.

Add this to the list of 16 reasons to leave California.
County (Sonoma) poised to hike hundreds of fees
Not the hikes per se, but the comment of one Ms Mehan illustrates how it is around here. 4 decades of complete domination by democrats and people still blame the GOP for whatever.
Stefenie WHO? Millar… has a video of….Oh! what a BombShell what an ab-
solutely amazing show-stopper, knee-slapper….anything on there about
Secret Service Gate, or any of the other Scandal Gates ? Ohhhhhhhh !
@Hillybilly
Your “Power House Woman” seams to be slipping even her HLN competition JANE VELEZ-MITCHELL scored better in the 25-54 group. Looks like she beat out Larry Kudlow a 7:00. I don’t think that he can get a rock excited.
@ 11:00 she still comes in 4th out of 5 beating out CNNs twin sister network HLNs Showbiz. Looks like it might be a race to the bottom.
MSNBC will soon change its name to DCDNW…..
Democrats Can Do No Wrong…..
AppleStinx regarding your email from Friday’s listing
Oh no! Hillbilly got himself in hot water with the CNN crowd for saying that ‘OutFront’ is a ratings powerhouse.
Hillbill said that “The Woman was a Power House”, he did not say whether the show was any good or not.
But then DB might be right Hillybill’s comment could be just being sarcastic, in that case I should apologize to Hillybilly for my response. I miss interpreted his comment.

Hello, and it’s cool, everything I say is miss interpreted, a few even thought I was smart on some things

My wife Aunt moved out there 6 months ago, she is still shocked at the cost of living there as compared to here.
You have a wife named “Aunt”???
@Rod D
ROTFLMBO
I call her worse things at times
But shes cool
^Wife’s Aunt
