The only ones that held the numbers wer the FOX shows. Everybody else dropped like a rock!
@Rats
On the serious side, that was a massive drop on thier shows, be interesting to know why
ROTFLMBO!!!!! Oh Slick Willie is back in true form!!! Yea this was an OOOPs from Bill, come on! this guy is way toooo smart! remember “AHI did NOT have sex with…….”
Bill Clinton Denies Undermining Obama: ‘I’m Very Sorry’
President Bill Clinton has been making the rounds for Team Obama — only to end up making headlines for straying away from President Obama‘s campaign messages. In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Thursday, Clinton affirmed he’s doing everything he can to help the president’s re-election effort, denying that he’s been undermining him.
god MSNBC really tanked. And after the recall vote too. I think we may be sesing the beging of the end for MSNBC as porgressve go’s. And all the left wingers or going to current. And msnbc can’t win over the right due to past iusses with them. The only thing they got going for them is there beating CNN.
Yeah, the lefties were too upset about Wisconsin to watch MSDNC.
Even Jon Stewart was making frun of them.

i honestly think a lot of the left is just packing it in and giving up. I think the Wisc win for Walker was the final straw for many. They may fiolter back a little over time but some I think have already thrown in the towel. There have not been any positives for Obama and the D’s in a couple of weeks
Again, you can’t have a successful television talk show by presenting and pushing a liberal-only point of view. Matthews, Sharpton, Schultz, Maddow, O’Donnell….good grief!!!! Get a clue.
One day ,I would just like to see Joe turn and say to Mika,”just stfu,stop rolling you eye’s and stop acting like a 5 year old.”This is just my opinion Morning Joe is the ‘only’ watchable show( unless Mika is Running the show) on MSNBC.
I’ve tried watching Sharpton and can’t figure out what language he’s speaking.I’ve ever tried switch over to the Spa language on the remote thinking Al’s trying to learn a new language.I was wrong ,Al is speaking in a language only 1 in 100 people can understand.
Jim,you’re right…Mika’s job is to make faces while everyone else speaks. We do watch Morning Joe only because we don’t particularly care for the Fox crew at that time. Sometimes, though, M.J. becomes so unbearable we do change the channel. Whenever Joe begins to criticize Obama or anyone in his Administration, I believe he gets a message in his earpiece…”if you value your job, change your message”.
Mr. Ed really took a hit last night. Tuesday was a big night for him. He may have turned people off. Last night he was about 200,000 below his usual rating.
Maddow went down with him.
Yes it’s an uphill battle. The Republicans are masters of the effective soundbite. Frank Luntz is their wordsmither…the guy that dreams up words and phrases that resonate with the populace as they are repeated over and over again by every right wing politician and media pundit.
“The Job Creators” is one of those short phrases that is religiously tacked onto any discussion of the rich. Any talk of increasing taxes on the Top 1 percent always gets met with a response like “taxing the job creators.” Every single Fox News pundit and every single Republican invoke the phrase “the job creators” every time they are in front of the camera opposing taxing increases on the rich. It’s a rehearsed Pavlovian type response…so automatically conditioned and predictable…just like making a dog bark…it’s almost comical.
The sad fact of life is that it works. Pay attention as you listen to the debate on increasing taxes on the rich this year, and I guarantee you’ll hear that expression repeated again and again. The dogs have been well trained. Too bad they can’t think.
It’s amazing just how simple minded Eddie is. Can’t grasp the fact that some people, even some democrats, GASP, vote their convictions and not simply their party.
What is that Drip ! Drip ! Drip !
That is the liberal bleed dripping from the T.V. if you click on MSNBC…
Jeff,
Do you ever post your own opinion or do you just copy and paste? Jeff I been doing a lot of reading on different web site’s lately (broken leg and can’t get around ) and 90% of the post you submit are copied and pasted.Jeff you’re not the only copy and paste addict on this site ,don’t remember their names and I’m not going back just to look up their name as they also got paste dripping from their hands. By copying and pasting all the time shows one of two things, that you’re unable to think and form your own opinion or you’re trying to look smarter then you really are.
@Jim
Jeff you’re not the only copy and paste addict on this site ,don’t remember their names and I’m not going back just to look up their name as they also got paste dripping from their hands
I cannot tell a lie. I’m guilty of both word paste & in crafts. I just used a glue stick to finish a birthday card . I can think for myself, &, I believe many are smarter than I am.
If we annoy you I’m sorry ,but , you can just skip our c/p news.
@Jim
or you’re trying to look smarter then you really are.
BINGO!! You figured me out
I’m actually dumber than a clogged pipe.
@Ratboy & Jeff
I wonder? Is it possible that MSNBC was getting the majority of viewers from Wisc the past few weeks and now they are tuning out? I don;t mean that question to be silly, just wondering, cause that was a major drop.
I love to check this site and follow the chatter. his is my first time to post. I have really annoyed Coffee Steve, Ratboy and Retired. Lots of good hearted friendly sharing. I keep wondering about CNN Early Start/Starting Point. How long do you think they will last? MHOO if they could be more neutral I think they could draw a bigger audience. I am a conservative and anytime I try to watch Solidad, it only takes about 2 minutes before her obvious bias appears and I change the station. I watch F&F mostly and Morning Joe when Joe is on.
