Hey AP, Christmas only comes once a year lol, dummies like Ralphie come on only to crow for Fox and dump on CNN & msnbc. I’m enjoying the moment!!
Their silly daily celebrations get very lame, ” wow Bill Sux he only got 3 million ” he! he!he,he!……..d’OH!!
As I say about Republicans when their foolery gets out of control and elections put them in their place, KICK EM while they are down.
Anyone see Karl Rove talk about the Obama campaign “won because theymsuppressed the vote”. Does anyone believe this lying piece of sh-t anymore?
Voter suppression was the Republicans over whelming strategy. Rove is a certifiably idiot! Seems he and Limbaugh are the root of the Republican news bubble. I bet they have each other on speed dial. Also hang out at the same buffet.
lol the righties are still depressed
Hahaha i guess fox viewers were disenchanted..still depressed..about losing ..for the second straight day. Msnbc destroy fox news in the key demo…karl roves meltdown..didnt do the network any favors
Wow eds repeat stumped o reilly in the key demo.that has to hurt
From my understanding O’Reilly had a guest host
This is what Sheldon Adelson and the Koch Brother will do to Karl Rove. Hahaha I love how scared Karl Rove is on TV giving lame excuses for why after + $400 million dollars , he still didn’t deliver :

Looks to me like CNNs election high is wearing off fairly fast. Their viewership is falling quickly. CNN is down to about 15% of the viewers before the election they were around 11%. MSNBC fokes are still celabrating, they were around 25% of the audience before the election and they have about 35%. FCN was around 50% and they are down to about 40%.
Next week we will see whether FCN recovers or whether it was a perminant drop. I think people get tired of hearing about beating a dead horse. They need to stop talking about the Republican loss it’s history.
Awwww. Msnbc kicks fox’s butt and the poor righties are nowhere to be found. They are always in here all happy, copying and pasting msnbcs crazy headlines, which they are, while being oblivious that Fox News does the same. Where oh where are your?????? I do however expect fix to be back kicking msnbcs butt in the next week or so. Maybe even today. Because people like ratboy are still and will always be drinking that Fox News koolaid.
Your= you
Fix=fox
Stupid iPhone autocorrect.
Interesting how MSNBC is still pulling so many viewers. FN and CNN have both already lost their additional viewers who were into politics because of the election season.
I don’t get it. Why is credit not given where credit is due?
MSNBC has been exponentially growing viewers since 2009 and this isn’t due to any trend.
Before people were saying the ratings MSNBC was getting was because of the election and as soon as the election was over they would go back to their regular numbers.
Well, the election is over and Rachel Maddow was consistently getting 1.5 – 1.7 m viewers during the last 2 months of the election cycle. Before labor day, she was getting around 1.3 m. I don’t think Maddow will go back under 1.5 m and will probably peak at 2 m until the inauguration.
Bring back Keith Olberman. Ed Shultz is a joke and cant beat O Reilly. Of course Lawrence O Donnel got his butt beat by O Reilly also, but his move to 10:00 helped him. There is no help for ED
I know this is just temporary high for MSNBC but the drastic drop in Fox News viewers is alarming.
I think their viewers feel betrayed by all the lies many of their hosts spewed throughout the election cycle. Especially, with all the guaranteed victory predictions and Rove’s meltdown.
Hopefully this will wake them up and they will finally step out of their Bubble into the real world.
And yes, Rachel is on Fire! She totally destroyed Hannity in the Demos.
MSNBC wins the Primetime demos again.
I think Megan Kelly has to be. Democrat in Republican make-up. She has been having a lot of fun taunting Karl Rove and making news at making him look like a jack ass. I think she should get an interview with Rush Limbaugh.
You are right Mark2, but when the smell of a fart wakes the wacky right GOP up, to the tune of any scandal, they will kill a puppy to get the Fox News angle of the story.
Petraeus has dirt on Zero over who really dropped the ball in telling the SEALs to stand down. Axelrod’s cronies dug up dirt on his affair and threatened him with exposure if he didn’t tow the party line on Benghazi. Petraeus, being a man with at least some honor and dignity, told Axelrod to shove it, told the truth about his affair, and resigned.
If he is still slated to testify, watch for him to commit a Vince Foster in the next few weeks. If he refuses to testify, forensic accounting of his financials would likely reveal a seven or eight figure increase sometime soon.
@Keynes
I wonder how long, if at all, MSNBC can keep their additional audience?
Dems will now have a free T.V. and free cable so it may pick up…..LOL…
Obama will save us
The Interior Department on Friday issued a final plan to close 1.6 million acres of federal land in the West originally slated for oil shale development.
The proposed plan would fence off a majority of the initial blueprint laid out in the final days of the George W. Bush administration. It faces a 30-day protest period and a 60-day process to ensure it is consistent with local and state policies. After that, the department would render a decision for implementation.
@Doug Z, wow man, you are great! You say the funniest things! It’s good to have you around!
