Yay me! I’m first (I need a real job!)
Piers Morgan on CNN getting killed “in the demo”. Jeez…whome did he have on the show?
Nobody here but us Larrys.
What am I chopped liver??????
The Five is down a bit but Greta and Hannity burned em up!!! I think OReillys numbers will onley get bigger the closer we get to the election so this might be a small night compared to what it may be!
Hannity is starting to beat Rachel pretty regular again. Having Tingles on is hurting the other hosts. “We’ve got our knives out.” What a weenie.
here’s an idea…while we’re at it, let’s relentlessly do something else just as laughably stupid- Let’s, on a weekly basis, compare what The New England Patriots performance is versus the 2-bottom high school football teams in the The Boston Unified School District.
FOX News, viewed in far fewer homes than NBC/ABC/CBS, is a far more accurate league for comparison-purposes than matching-up FOX News with MSNBC, TMZ, CNN, and D!kes on Bikes.
Purely from advertising-dollars point of view and how an advertising executive’s future is dependent upon highly effective return on investment, my point is indisputable…
Ever since Obama’s stinky performance at the debate, ratings for MSNBC has gone down.
Depression.
@coffee Steve, I musta missed a comment from you about your older brother earlier. Hope all goes well with him and he’s back in action ASAP!!
Keep your chins up!

Great night for Msnbc again chris.al.rachel
.ed.and lawrence all well over a million total viewers ea ch ..meanwhile ugly night for cnn. Horrible
There must be room for Piers Morgan at MSNBC or Al Gore TV.
@ sicilian. Did u know both former incumbents ronald reagan and george w bush had lost thier first debates only to make a comeback in the next 2 and when the elections ..who s to say it wont happen again
@
James
Obama will challenge Romney in the next debate. It will be up to Romney to perform.
You righties jump the gun so often…we got 3 more debates to go how long can romney keep gettin away with his b.s and flip flopping
I have a that town hall debate is gonna be his waterloo with all those workin class people askin the questions in the audience. Lol hes gonna struggle
There may be a slight reduction in The Ed Show’s rating. The great Charlie Pierce is slated to be on with Elliott Spitzer on Current TV. I know I’LL be watching/

Check twitchy out to see our fate should Romney be elected.
Could this be based on business planning and based on the outcome of the election? NAH! That dont happen and it gets people fired for even bringing it up!!
