Oh wow, Mr Ed beat Maddow…time to kick her to the curb…she can’t even keep her lead in audience….
Oh, look….O’Reilly is killing MSNBC in the key Demo, by 120,000 viewers, minimum…I guess it’s time for MSNBC to throw in the towel….
hannity back on top!!!
oh, I didn’t even look at O’Reilly’s 11PM slot…O’Reilly slaughtered MSNBC in his rerun at 11PM than any of the MSNBC hosts did in their normal slots…not only in total numbers, but even in the key demo….lol
What happened? MSNBC peaked at 5pm and went downhill from there.
Where oh where has little Mark2 gone? Oh where oh where can he beeeeee?
Fire??? Whos on fire??? OOOOOPSY!
Can we count on the right wingers to side with Al Qaeda, the taliban, Al Capone, Ted Nugent, and the drug cartels, AND the NRA in opposing background checks for deadly weapons??? Come back to us….
Early Start/Starting Point back down where they usually stay.
Foxnews defeats the Sharpton channel yet again! “The Five” is the best show on any news channel.

for you usa.
Has anyone watched Nancy Grace lately? I think HLN is using soft-focus lens on her shots. It’s difficult to watch her and pay attention to what she’s saying.
AppleStinx, I think MSNBC and the democrats are finding out that their viewers are not so dumb as they thought. Watching how the democratic senators tell Hillary she did a great job was to much for the moderates.
Time will tell if the liberals have gone to far.
Hey Mark2: Southpark kick b**T 19 – 49 viewership almost twice that of Steward. WOW and they are on the same channel. Steward is on right after it. WOW again, almost half of the people that watched Southpark turned off Steward.
Wow…The Five barely beat Matthews in the Key Demo.
Ouch!!! That’s gotta hurt!
Chris Matthews is on Fire!!!
@1966, Nice song. Did you know that Mr. Nugent’s networth is $20 million? Not bad for a man who had his hits in the 1970′s. You know, back in the 70′s when a concert ticket was only $10, not the $200 they are today.
Key Demo (18-49) numbers for Top 100 Cable Shows:
Jon Stewart = 1,012,000 (13th place)
Colbert = 885,000 (17th place)
OReilly = 379,500 (100th place)…OUCH!!! That’s gonna leave a mark!

John Fugelsang is now hosting “Viewpoint” on Current TV at 8:00 pm Eastern. He came up with the idea of having a round table (OK, it’s actually rectangular) with a number of people who do political comedy, as well as a few pundits. John even uses a little self-deprecating humor: he described the interview Oprah had with the cheating bicycler as a desperate attempt to get ratings on a mostly unwatched channel, then ended with “spoken by a man appearing on Current TV”. Oh, and another thing: I’ve come to expect one-million or more total viewers of “Hardball’s” live show, Rachel and Lawrence. It’s time to return to that staus on a ragular basis.
News flash to you Mark2. Top marketing executives not longer look at the 25 -54 or the 19 – 49 so key demos. In the current economy most of the spending power is in the hands of the baby boomers. Those are people born before 1963. That’s the 50 and up crowd.
But hey keep living in your own world.
Wow…The Five barely beat Matthews in the Key Demo.
A win is still a win, ask any sports team that got beat by just one point.
@Cathy “Hey Mark2: Southpark kick b**T 19 – 49 viewership almost twice that of Steward”
What on earth are you talking about? That just shows that you have no clue what you’re talking about.
