MSNBC wins the primetime once again.
FNC wins total day once again AND also wins in just about every other category as well.
@Bev
MSNBC wins the most important category again…the key demo during Primetime.
Ouch!!! that’s gotta hurt.
I almost feel sorry for Fox News that they keep losing that most important category.
Fox is just going to get older and older in the ratings. They are turning more and more into CBS. They’ll have the total viewers but they are all old people. The demo is only going to get worse. All people who want the country to be like it was in the 1950′s. All power for white people and no one else. It’s 2012. Get over it.
Mark 2
I’d never feel sorry for Fox “News”, if that’s what they like to call it. Ever. They fed their people drivel through the vent in the bubble that Mitt was going to win in a landslide and that did not happen on election night. That’s b/cause Anonymous speared Orca and the stealing of a 3rd election did not occur. Boo Hoo, Karl was incredulous about OH on election night. Hey Carl, next time, hire high tech people who know how to steal elections. You have been successful in the past, just go back to the drawing board. With the millions you have, you will succeed. Just try again in ’16 and hope Anonymous is not on to your game. Hi R. Boy,Faith 3 Coffee..Thanks for all of your updates.
Nancy, MSNBC fed their listeners a bunch of drivel about how the Republicans were going to steal the election, and that didn’t happen on election night. MSNBC misleads its listeners.
Mark, it must “hurt” the FNC beats MSNBC and CNN combined in most categories.
Then Fox will have to do better in that demo, but as important as that demo is, they are winning the night over all. So the question is, do you win the battle or do you win the war?
Rachel Maddows is gonna become the voice for the next generation!She brings many of the elements the greats had,like Cronkite,Brinkley,Murrow.She is the new face of what America is becoming like it or not!I am happy to see the star rising for Rachel.She asks the questions I would ask and her perspectives are well researched.Though I dont always agree with everything she says,even when I disagree I have to admit she makes compelling arguments for her point of view!
raz that doesnt make any sense at all. what could is having viewers when the audience has no purchasing power? these viewers are age 2+…for fox most over 65+. shows need to make money, advertisers look for the demo, not the total amount. you can get millions of views, but if your demo is not gathering enough viewers your show gets canned.
Bev,
Check this out. I wouldn’t trust Karl Rove with all the eyes of the world on him. He’s been honing his stealing trade for decades.

347 is larger then 330 Raz lol.Please learn simple arithmetic.MSNBC won the primetime in the demo! thats the money right there.End of story.
Im not an ad executive and dont know much about the inter workings on Madison Avenue,but I do Know that Television networks set their advertisement prices based on promises of how many people in the Demo are watching, this is there primary source of revenues and that particular age bracket is All the Marketing guys care about in general so the only ratings that really matter are Demo ratings,they establish your marketing value!Ratings are all that matter long term in that business.They are profit driven coorporations.They care only about$
The Fox News sheeple will NEVER learn that the demo is where it’s at. We go through this 5-6 times EVERY new day.
Can’t we all just get along?
Rachel; you beat Hannity again. It’s becoming a good habit to see Hannity going down.
Obama’s Stimulus Funds African Genital Washing Study
Need a wash?
On the heels of a scathing report exposing incessant waste in President Obama’s scandal-plagued economic stimulus, anews agency reveals that nearly $1 million in recovery funds have gone to a genitalia-washing program for uncircumcised African men.
If this seems like an inconceivable prank, just take a look at the public university study that received $823,200 in stimulus cash to encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling. Specifically, the taxpayer dollars will be used to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex. You can’t make this stuff up.
The money from the monstrous $787 billion program Obama promised would jumpstart the economy and put Americans back to work was distributed by the National Institutes of Health. The goal is to stop the spread of AIDS in Africa by convincing uncircumcised men to develop an effective after-sex, genitalia-washing regime. The aim, according to the publicly-funded study, is to evaluate the “feasibility and acceptability of a post-coital male genital hygiene procedure” among Africans unwilling to be circumcised.
Matt:
Wednesday night in the younger category MSNBC was higher than Fox at 9, 10 and 11. Last night they were higher only at 9 and 10. But overall FNC doesn’t even fluctuate. FNC outbeats MSNBC day after day. You just keep concentrating on MSNBC’s winning one here and one there.
MSNBC is nothing but a laughingstock tool of the Whitehouse, and even the young, impressionable folks know it as well.
Nancy, I wouldn’t trust MSNBC with some of the world’s eyes on it — not most as the ratings show — because they kept on for weeks and weeks about how the Republicans were going to steal the election, and it didn’t happen. They love to lie to you guys, and you love to buy into it.
I wonder how many dumbocrats it takes to do this?
Or how many need it done, with your tax dollars?
Need a wash?
Nawncy….first you say Karl and then Carl…cant get it straight,hon ?
You’ll notice that the Number One cable show is called “Fox NEWS” whilst
MsNBC is not news…nor Cnn….ever notice that, Nawncy?
wow, i love when these msnbc retards only see a couple demos and start jumping for joy. look at the others dummies. Fox is kicking ass in more demos than you see.

Moncon and Bobbyv,
I also agree. However, if things don’t improve, I think the liberals will still blame Bush. I’ve already heard spin that things were so bad under Bush that it will take twenty years of Obama’s ‘rational’ policies to fix things.
Yes, funny how the goalpost has now changed. If that happens after they give him tax tax increases he wants their response should be “Don’t want to hear it”. At some point he has to own this, good or bad.
