MSNBC is not only plummeting, they will clearly crater to all-time lows….All MSNBC needs to focus on now is since their boy Zucker went to CNN, it’s not a matter of whether MSNBC will be in last place, it’s whether they will survive at all for the balance of Obama’s Term….LOL, what a nightmare they will live until it is pulled…
Looks like the only demo they won in was against Greta, and it was just one and it wasn’t by much. But overall, she kicked his keester.
It looks like FNC is doing just fine. I like when that happens. It really is an indicator that majority of the country is not buying into Obama’s plan. There are other indicators as well, but this is the most obvious.
I left a message on Tuesday page. I have to re-write.
Mike has a girlfriend and she is quite a handful.
Nice to see MSNBC in free-fall. Wow are they taking a beating. If a tree falls on Tingles leg and no one sees it. Did the tree really fall?
I will be back after the new year to bash the corrupt, left wing, so-called, objective media. You can bank on it.
My girlfriend is a much younger woman, much younger. the other day she says to me,”you know if we ever have kids.”
I looked at her,”kids…us…by the time we get them out of diapers you’ll be puttin me in’em
We are certainly a divided nation. Unfortunately, Dear Leader is able to con a big majority of young voters, women and minorities with bribes, fear and gimme’s. Those of us who are self thinkers and doers will be for the most part fine because that is what we do, deal with adversity and challenges.
BigBen, thank you so much for that list of the 55 things negative about California. We are in so much trouble in this state.
And this is a great indication of what happens when Democrats are in control for too long. We’ve been Democratically controlled now for decades — except for that ignorant stint with Arnie who didn’t do a darn thing except embarrass himself and his family. That was just a big waste of time. During his tenure as Governor he did nada.
Now we have a Democrat super majority and the State of California is imploding on a daily basis. Illegal immigrants have learned to game this system and the teach each other how to do it. They teach the new ones coming in and they teach their children. They all know how to work under the table and still receive benefits from the State of California and the federal government, and our nanny state thought has no interest in stopping it. All they’re interested in is taxing the rich.
Well, the rich are figuring out how not to pay for all this.
It’s a beautiful state. We’ve had a great run with so many positives in so many ways for a long period of time. What a shame.
How many viewers did the “12-12-12-Sandy Show” siphon from the other nets?
MSNBC the Titanic of news networks!
moncon, well said. When all is said and done, I’d rather deal with adversity and challenges rather than have the government directing my life and trying to make it “fair,” good for all 320 million of us. That’s an impossibility even if we wanted that.
I don’t understand how these Democrats/Liberals/Socialists in America haven’t realized yet that there’s no free lunch anywhere. That is just the make up of life.
hannity destroys rachel again
hannity is on fire!!!
The Five number 2 amongst all shows again.
Bill O’s 11pm numbers beat the other networks prime time numbers.
No cable news show made the list.
When is the next time one makes the list?
Fox News will finish 2012 as the year’s most watched cable news channel. This is the 11th consecutive year that FNC has been the top cable news channel among Total Viewers and Adults 25-54.
11th consecutive year, FNC is on fire.
Fox News is down drastically from last December.
MSNBC is up from last December.
Another day with no cable news shows on the list.
@hillbilly
if we play by mark2 rules there will be 2 shows on the list next week.
Matthew – No, it contributes to a deficit reduction plan
—————————————-
Yea a whole (depending on how much the economy grows) $70-$100 billion a year. We are running a $1.2 trillion deficit. Take the high end we still have a $1.1 trillion deficit.
I’m personally tired of hearing this that or the other will hurt the economy. If it does then so be it. Just balance the darn budget & let the chips fall where they fall. I remember hearing all the folks saying if our credit rating is reduced the sky will fall. Well it was & the sky didn’t fall.
Ron Paul said he could cut $1 trillion in a year maybe 2 i forget. This BS about taking 10 years to solve the problem is crazy. The next 10 years the fed govt will spend $40+ trillion & congress won’t cut $5 trillion from that.
IF we are that dependent on govt spending to sustain the economy then IMO the whole deal is broke. Crash & burn, go into a depression, default on our debt, I don’t care. Just do it & start over already.
I’m beginning to think there are two or three Lefties on this board that use all sorts of different names to make it look like there’s more Lefties than they’re really are.
Am I seeing this right?
oooooooo another win for FOX, another inevitable loss for MSNBC!!!!!!! you MSNBC peeps should realize you dont stand a chance against FOX!!!!!
@Hillbilly
Jon Stewart and Colbert both made the list.
