Wow, Rachel has been doing really well in the 25-54 demo lately. These are the best numbers she’s had in months.
Lol and the liberals lose again!
Hannity’s total viewers number fell below the “O’Reilly Sphincter” lead-in. I though his Nancy Grace-type interview with Zimmerman would have kept the O’Reilly viewers or attracted some people following the Trayvo Martin case. Didn’t happem. The 700K Ed gets at 11:00 pm Eastern puts him over the one-million mark for the night and that showing is 8:00 pm Pacific.
@Steel
Maddow’s show sure seems to have been the anchor of that network for a very long time now.
@Laurence Glavin
I agree, I thought that interview on hannity would have raised him more as well, guess people have grown tired of the story and waiting for the trial I suppose.
MSNBC is doing okay. Boy does that ruin my day.
You work all day and all you ask for is for MSNBC to tank in the ratings.
Maddow is smoking at 421,000 key demo.
They love her on the left. I can’t watch her but she is still better than the Journalist at 5pm and 7PM Mr. Tingles.
Breaking…
USA & Israel may be ready to take out Syria Chemical Weapons
Developing…
Wow, the economy is in the tank. I knew those jobless claim numbers were bogus last week. The 4th was on a Wednesday.
I know the President has some things going for him but how does he win when things are so bad. He is worse than Carter but he doesn’t have to run against Reagen either.
@Sicilian Papa

People don’t know who to trust anymore Mike; truth is in the past years both parties have been about the same, all mouth and no action.
This same trend happened when Reagan ran against Carter, Carter lead or was tied up until the last week before the election, then the un-decided voters figured they would take a chance on Ronald and the rest is history. Carter lost 47 States.
Up to 17 percent of people polled say they are un-decided, and that vote by history standards goes against the incumbent by 85%. If that happens this time, Romney could have a decisive win. I know that’s hard to believe right now, but it could happen unless some event happens to change it.
@Laurence: >>> Hannity’s total viewers number fell below the “O’Reilly Sphincter” lead-in. <<<
What a douchie thing to say, Laurence (or is it Lawrence?). How does "The Glavin Sphincter" sound to you? Try to be a little more mature when posting next time.

It is almost to late to get a boost from the economy. I just don’t see anything except the inflated stock market that points to things getting better.
Your right when repubs. had control they worried to much about getting elected and not enough about the principal of small government.
You have to sell small government to the people. When the repubs. had control the media ran stories about people in desperate need and branded the Repubs. as heartless. The one retort that will work when the media attacks in this way is simple. We don’t have any money for these programs. Instead the GOP just folded. They have to remember that they are not only fighting the Dems., they are fighting the media when they have power.
@Sicilian Papa
It is almost to late to get a boost from the economy
Agreed. And to be honest the numbers will get worse, not better, that’s why the “Destroy Romney” campaign is in full bloom.
I know the polls are close Mike, and maybe they in reality are, but as the election gets closer and the economy fails to show any good signs of a sure recovery, the wave will go for change, it always has, and always will.
Certain events could happen to change Obama’s fortunes like a war with Iran, or some breakout of war elsewhere of course, but should a war with Iran breakout, and No, I don’t think he’d start one with them for the election, as stupid as Iran is they can screw that up on their very own, but if it does, the President always (and he should) get support from the public.
Then it just depends on if that would be enough to jump him over the top.
George Zimmerman has still not had an interview with a reporter.
@Sicilian Papa
You have to sell small government to the people
Romney should come out and say “I’ll cut 40% of all Government across the board within 4 years” 10% across the board each year.
He doesn’t need to cut Soc Sec or Medicare Mike; he just needs to keep the politicians hands out of the trust fund cookie jar.
Agreed Jeff tough I think Hannity did a pretty good job. When you are on trial fot your life don’t talk to anyone but your lawyer.
I said this this morning and I believe it. Zimmerman should have killed a white guy, he would be walking around free today.
Whenever the race hustlers get involved there is tremendous pressure to prosecute to the fullest. I have seen this act to many times to count over the last twenty five years.
@Jeff
George Zimmerman has still not had an interview with a reporter.
Maybe not, but I watched the interview on the web, and while I don’t watch Hannity hardly at all, and watching through a reporters eyes that I am (ok was)
I thought Hannity did a very good job.
I’ve called the 8:00 pm Eastern Time show on Fox the “O’Reilly Sphincter” for years. I’m not going to stop new just because somebody with the same last name as one of my favorite violinists doesn’t like it. What do they say on all the blogs, etc? Bwaaaa-haaaa.
Ghezz we are about to get POUNDED by a big old storm, so If I don’t respond for awhile, my power may be off, we need the rain but not like this…
Winds above 60mph does some damage
“Reporters” ask follow up questions. That was not done once. The interview was totally scripted and practiced.
Analysis of the interview, questions and answers given were quite scathing.
The only person that deserves a BRAVO is Zimmerman’s attorney for controlling everything that occurred. We will see if this comes back to haunt Zimmerman at trial.
