Billy O WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hannity WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greta WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Five WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Matthews
MSNBC took a homeric beating.
Whoah. 4+ million for O’Reilly? Dude…
When you give conservatives bad polling news, they want to kill you (and make up conspiracies). When you give liberals bad polling news, they want to kill themselves. Looks like Fox in benefitting from conservative enthusiasim of Romney’s big post debate bounce.
WOW is right–what happened? Glad to see the numbers up–but why the sudden jump?
Early Start/Start Point close to 300 again but still horrible numbers. Get rid of Solidad Obrien and Ashley Banfield and see the numbers jump.
It must really suck, always having to look at the other cars taillights in the race!
It is pretty much known that MSNBC carries the load for Obama and I think people want to see both sides of the argument and so they tune into Fox. It’s OK to question your President MSDNC. Maybe you should be concentrating on his big Libya flip flop instead of Romney’s hair color or Paul Ryan’s workout photo shoot. I watch them and it’s as if they think we Americans have no brains.
And if they want to go on about the war on women, let’s compare Sandra Fluke’s need for government paid birth control to Malala Yousufzai the 14 year old girl shot by the taliban for wanting education for females. Fluke can afford a cell phone plan but not her own birth control. Let her go over and fight a real war on women.
Will Biden be touting the FREE stuff tonight….
Free: PBS/NPR – Big Bird for the Children…..
Free: Obamacare ‘Flukeing Devices’ for all the ‘ladies’…..
The audience for ‘Hardball’ is (used to be) 19% conservative, 25% moderate. Chris Matthews’ meltdown for Obama didn’t help MSNBC be where they were supposed to be in the ratings at this time. It must have been contagious. Overall, MSNBC’s audience is 32% conservative, 23% moderate.

I always get a chuckle when people think that Fox news isn’t biased like MSNBC. I think the difference between the people who watch both networks is people who watch MSNBC know it has a liberal bias, people who watch Fox live in a bubble and think that Fox isn’t.
This idea that Fox is somehow legit because they report more on certain stories that MSNBC doesn’t completely ignores the fact they ignore many stories that don’t suit their agenda.
maybe when msnbc reports the news of the day people will watch. they never even mention the word lybia. Ed Rachel and larry are pathetic
Just a thought and I am serious. The ratings on MSNBC could very well be a direct indicator as to the faltering enthusiasm for the Obama camp. With MSNBC being the biggest and loudest cheerleader for Obama and attack monger against Romney, at this poit if the left was enthused I would thingkk they would be tuning in in huge numbers!! …………………………but the numbers are pretty dismal considering that we are weeks away from the election and in the midst of the debates. This could be a better indicator than all the polls1 Just a thought.
@Keynes–respectfully–I am a conservative and I have never had the thought of killing anyone or my self.
I mentioned this yesterday – I definitely think the good press and fun at the Jon Stewart debate have raised O’Reilly’s numbers. A few converts plus the VP debate leadup = RATINGS GOLD!
@Ratboy
going by MSNBC ratings say 2 Months ago
ED gets roughly 800k-1M
Maddow is usually 900k-1.1M
O’Donnell isi usually 800k-1M
So all three prime time shows still have a large bump from “normal” ratings

^And they have the nerve to complain about why there’s not enough security at our Embassies. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Back home now
The only good thing about all this with my Brother, since he can’t talk with all the meds and tubes, I got to do ALL the talking and he had to shut up
He was in and out, and very weak of course, nest step is to see if he can handle his bypass surgery rescheduled for next week. They are cooncerned of course and he is High Risk to not make it through the surgery, BUT it’s not up to them, Thankfully
Wazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Up boys and girls?
@Mark2
I saw that yesterday and had a good chuckle. I love how the Republican guy(Jason Chaffetz) tried to act clueless about what she was saying(or at least I assume he was acting)
