Lock Up Raw is doing great for MSNBC on the weekend nights.. Amazing isnt it lol?
What is happening to MSNBC primetime on weekends? Sunday’s 242K/108K must be lows for the year, and the ratio of A35-64 to P2+ was 62% on Saturday and 68% on Sunday – not exactly skewing young.
Lock Up Raw? How nice, it’s old home week.
MSNBC Did No Negative Stories About Obama or Positive Ones About Romney Last Week of Campaign
A new study just released by the Pew Research Center found that in the final week of the just-ended presidential campaign, the “Lean Forward” network did absolutely no negative stories about President Obama or positive ones about Mitt Romney.
MSNBC will never EVER say anything positive about Mitt Romney or, for that matter- anything negative about pres. Obama !!!
@Doug Z
Why not give the findings of the PEW report that both stations are biased?

I don’t think you can find one person who watches MSNBC who would say that MSNBC is fair and balanced, can’t really say the same about people who watch Fox
