What a sad, pathetic fall from grace for the person known as John McCain. He is an attention-slut who has lost his gravitas as a serious politician. He has devolved into a cheap political hack. Very sad and tragic.
Fox News pundits and analyists were wrong on all of their election predictions. You cannot be THAT wrong and hold onto viewers. You cannot dismiss all the polls as being wrong (except the one poll you liked because it had your guy winning). At some point, viewers wise up. I guess that point is upon us.
thankyou mark2
Good on Bobby Jindall (sp?). I was very impressed with his comments at the Republican Governors association. He told the truth and is absolutely correct, too. The Republican party has to stop dividing America. I’ve known for years the GOP’s divide-and-conquer campaign strategy. But to hear a prominent Republican call out his own party for it was refreshing.
I’ll have to give Jindall a close look when decides to throw his hat into the ring.

for you letmethink enjoy this is my favorite song by patsy cline
Where are all the copy and pasting righties like Ratboy?
I thought the shows with the highest ratings were the winners. I also think this only counts when numbers of shows in the same time slot are compared. By looking at these numbers, FOX still clearly dominates. MSNBC does have higher numbers. Apparently the euphoria liberals/progressives are feeling since the Presidential Election hasn’t returned to normal, yet. As the bad economic news, the scandals that permeate the Obama Administration and the Obama Administration’s foreign affairs blunders and failures continue to mount, the nastiness on the part of the MSNBC on air “personalities” will soon once again grate even on those who share their political ideology. Conservatives took a body blow on Nov. 6. But then, so did the nation. Conservatives feel the impact today; the rest of America will feel it tomorrow and the next day and for the days, months and years ahead. Obamacare has not yet begun to raise its ugly head as far as it will, once the non-Conservatives in America come to realize the damage it will be doing.

The only numbers advertisers look at are the 25-54 demo. We can argue over whether that is right or fair until we are blue in the face but, in the end, those are and still will be the facts. Total demos and more importantly primetime demos are really all that matters. Total viewers are only good for bragging rights perhaps but, in the long run, not much else.
It seems the right always forget how this whole thing works when MSNBC starts beating Fox News. They always try to say the TOTAL AUDIENCE is the only one that matters when MSNBC starts to beat them in the demo……
Fox News might have to consider replacing Greta and Hannity if it continues to go this way. I think Greta will be gone soon, regardless.
FNC had a “normal” day with averages above 2 million for each hour from 5-11pm.
Oh how rich and wonderful. Facts and reality win the day
Fox is revealed for what it is. A republican fantasy channel
Yes it still has better ratings but who cares?
Msnbc may be a left wing cheerleader but at least
They base their reporting on fact based journalism
Fox just makes stuff up which must be ever so painful
When reality intrudes on their make believe rushbo fantasy
Land. As far as Benghazi is concerned it is a tragedy
And there may be some malfeasance but seriously the party
That lied us into the Iraq war?! 10 years and over
4000 American lives now seeks impeachment over a
Manufactured conspiracy? You hypocritical
Self deceiving deluded fools. You’ve earned the harsh
Cold reality of this ass kicking you just received
And if you want to keep going with the lies and
Delusions of your rich old white guy party go right ahead
You’ll even lose your gerrymandered congress with
Your detached from reality offensive hateful platform.
Keep on talking to yourselves in your little bubble. You may have
A whole bunch of old white hateful greedy billionaires
But guess what. Good prevails over evil most of the time
As evidenced by this last election
The site must have received a link from the likes of “Daily Koos” today.
You lefties need to do better than this. Only 5 pages of comments?
MSNBC 1 show. No other cable news show made the list.
My kin folk, Duck Dynasty was the number 1 show.
They had 16 of the 100 slots.
The Daily Show almost got 2 million – 1939.

Funny you can figure out how to use caps when hurling insults but you can’t capitalize the first initial of your own name.
Fox is losing viewers. Numbers don’t lie. Deal with it and stop acting like a 6 year old.
***********************************************
Yes, Lance, numbers don’t lie….Those are the same numbers for Fox News as they’ve been since I’ve been coming here…They’re only dropping in your dreams…

Dude, stop drinking the kool aid and pay attention….ALL of MSNBC’s hosts are COMMENTATORS….that means opinion shows…they don’t tell the truth, because they aren’t required to tell the truth, because they are not NEWS….Fox has 2 commentators too, O’Reilly and Hannity…but MSNBC is ALL commentators…so MSNBC is a opinion network, not a NEWS network….
