Hannity gets smoked in the key demo again!! There now that we covered that lets MOVE ON!
I’m first?
DARN! you RATS..I wanted to be first
There is not one advertiser on earth that would prefer airing their ad on Maddow versus Hannity. NOT ONE….and they pay way-up to do it…
Big night for MSNBC Al Chris Ed Rachel and Lawrence all over a million total viewers each also both rachel and lawrence dominated hannity and greta in the key demos cnn had a crappy day
nanner nanner nanner Coffee!!!
FNC & MSNBC 1 each.
C’ya
Wow!!! MSNBC is doing well in the 5-7 slot, too. Was there a big news cycle yesterday? (I’m a college student, so I don’t have the luxury or watching the news all day long).
@Ratboy
from the other board
My sources tell me that the tape coming out tonight is Obama eating a live dog :Twisted:
I’MMMMMMMMMMM JOKING……
Time for cnn to do a major overhaul
I hope it’s not another Obama hugging tape
@James
Agreed James, I miss the old CNN glory days
You fox sheep just give the devil his due and admit msnbc is a major player in cable news
Since I’ve never undergone a lobotomy, I never watch Hannity. My exposure to him comes mainly from “The Daily Show” or Stephanie Miller. (Steph is as likely to use audio from Hannity’s radio show as from the TV show). Somebody at Tvbythenumbers or Mediaite should consider checking the advertiser overlap between MSNBC and the Faux Right-Wing Propaganda Network.

@Jayson and Mark
Depending on that Tape Drudge will release soon, it may be a HUGE news cycle

I always chuckle when I watch Fox and they have like cash for gold commercials. In terms of MSNBC it seems most the commercials are like BP or insurance companies
L. ODONNELL & Rachel Maddow wins key demo…….AGAIN! YES! Bill-O is slumping a tad.
