If Barack Obama had a son, he would look like Rachel Maddow.
Rachel and Laurence did it again. I suppose I should suck it up and say “Good Job.”
Ratings starting to look normal pre-election. Maddow and O’Donnell have been leading in the Key Demo since election night. I’m hearing conservatives are tuning out Hannity due to several factors. Immigration, Ann Coulter/Chris Christy, Karl Rove, etc. Michael Savage had some interesting thoughts on Hannity last week.
@Tama
I like Savage and I’ll need to look into his thoughts on Hannity. I’ve heard some are angry with Hannity over his ‘evolution’ on immigration policies; it is sad to me if this is the reason. I think Hannity is too abrasive, and though I can watch Hannity in longer stints than anyone on MSNBC, I can barely watch an entire hour of Hannity.
I agree with several here who say that Greta is boring. I like Greta, but it is a dull watch. And I get tired of the circular door of interviews with Palin/Trump/McCain.
Another @ss whipping another night. Go RAchel
Tama can you please explain where you are hearing this information.
Rachel is on FIRE!!!
Rachel beat Hannity in both demos. I almost feel sorry for Hannity, NOT!!!
Yeah, I think conversative viewed are still feeling like they’ve had enough of politics for a while, especially with the loss. It’ll bounce back eventually, but it might be a couple months. Maybe once the Benghazi thing starts to really take steam.
It should be pointed out Allen West has all but lost, so that is another seat for the Democrats when he loses his court fight. The other 2 seats in question are both to close to call, 500 votes apart
@ninja
Roger Hedgecock and Marc Levin have commented on Hannity, mentioning his ‘evolution’ on immigration, his swooning over Karl Rove, etc.
@ joe ……Lol. Your expectations must be low.
Wow. I’m guessing either Fox will have to change up their lineup or just be willing to let Rachel beat Hannity during that time slot each night.
Dumping Keith Olbermann and just using Rachel as their flagship show with a Last Word lead out is the best decision MSNBC ever made.
@Mark2
MSNBC ratings are only up because the liberals are all excited that Barack Hussein Obama II was reelected, so they are watching their channel. Conservatives are pissed and have turned off the news for now. Within a few weeks MSNBC’s post-election ratings will die back down to their miserably low numbers from before, and Fox’s ratings will rise back up. By the way, MSNBC still hasn’t beat Fox in total viewership in any timeslot, so it isn’t exactly “on fire”.
@ TZCA…… I don’t read or follow anything on Mark or Roger. Not sure what you are getting at. Only time I watch Hannity depends on the news of the day.
@ninja
You had asked Tama where she heard what she posted, so I responded to you based on that post.
Is Hannity moving left? Could be. LOL
LOL at Hannity moving left. About as likely as Pelosi taking up the Banner of Conservatism.
Hannity’s primary job is to sell Republican propaganda.
So if the Republican establishment decides it’s time to move “left” with respect to Hispanic-related policies, Hannity will be leading the charge.
And that’s what’s happening now.
@ TZCA………Tama said conservatives are tuning out Hannity. Just wanted how this information come about. By the way on android phone and loosing internet reception that requires turn off.
Greg is in for O’reilly tonight. wonder if thats a 1st.
