MSNBC is on Fire!!!
Rachel crushes Hannity once again.
Lawrence crushes Greta again.
MSNBC wins the Primetime key demo again.
Current TV has shaken up its schedule so that Jennifer Granholm is now broadcast at 5:00 pm, not at 10:00 pm. Thus Lawrence O’Donnell has no competition for intelligent, high-information viewers during his 10:00 pm showing. I don’t know how many viewers Jennifer had at ten o’clock, but anyone watching her show yclept “The War Room” and finding it absent from the schedule would almost certainly switch to L O’D.
Foxnews wins again!!!!!!!! Awesome.
What has happened to Greta and Hannity? Have they been on break?
Let the circular arguments begin !!!
@Hillbilly
Only one program from a cable news channel made the list: The O’Reilly Factor.
O’Reilly crushes the Sharpton channel. Again.

Let the circular arguments begin !!!
“arguments” or “jerk”
Bill0 @ 3 mil and “Han-Nutty” sheds nearly half of its lead-in audience. Was he off last night or were his viewers all Christmas shopping last night?
Looks like fox only has the nursing home demo left. I guess they finally figured out fox has been lying to them after Obama cleaned Romney’s clock while telling their viewers it would be a ROmney landslide.
Early Start/Starting Point still sinking.
Bev f off! I see you have Credible sources A Hamas web sight and Fixed news lol you are truly a tard and I will dish you every day till you are no longer here nut ball hater!
Matt, you seem upset. lol
Matt, what is a nut ball hater?
mattfitz
A Hamas website and Fixed News? Oh pray tell, inform us in real world terms what this ‘Hamas website’ and ‘Fixed News’ is.
You are the nut ball. You are so enshrined in your own hate for right-wingers that you have no clarity of thought, your posts come across as incoherent ramblings, and you are completely blind to how foolish you look and how ineffective you are at convincing anyone of anything. There are plenty of left-wing blog sites that would enjoy your vitriol and there are plenty of right-wing sites for BevAG to run off to, and in the end, you would have accomplished nothing by running her off.
But please, continue your nonsense because it really does give me a good laugh every once in awhile, but only at your expense.
I am not one who thinks Fox is doing bad like others on here but wow is Greta really tanking
Why don’t you include CURRENT TV in your cable news rating?
Wow! Matt. Go sit down, and have a nice long poop!!
BevAG, my apologies for referring to you as a ‘she’ if you are not. I had an image of you as female because I read your name BevAG as Beverly.
And you loons look to MSDNC and King Obama as the answer!!
Looks like Obama was just handing out scripts to me!
Obama Consults MSNBC’s Maddow, O’Donnell and Sharpton on Tax Rates
If this don’t beat all.
On Tuesday, President Obama met with liberals including MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell, and Al Sharpton to “discuss importance of extending the Bush middle-class tax cut.”
So tweeted the Huffington Post’s Jennifer Bendery moments ago:
WH spox says Obama mtg with Maddow, other progressives to discuss importance of extending the Bush middle-class tax cut.
This was preceded by:
WH spox: “This afternoon at the White House, the President met with influential progressives….”
And:
So… in the last hour, I watched Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton and Lawrence O’Donnell all walk into the West Wing. MSNBC love fest?
So now the shills at the most left-leaning, corrupt, so-called “news network” in the land get the President’s ear on tax policy.
Exactly how can these folks be trusted to be impartial when reporting on such things?
Oh. That’s right. They never were.
Please ignore the previous question.
