MSNBC flops in May: Network had smallest monthly audience since 1999 among viewers coveted by advertisers

No wonder Rachel is only on Monday nights now.

Hilarious.



MSNBC finished May with its smallest monthly audience among the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults age 25-54 since November 1999, and its lowest-rated month among the demo in primetime since May 2004, as Rachel Maddow’s reduced schedule continues to harm the network.

"Record-low ratings going back to 1999 is almost always a bad sign seeing as how they were then a fledgling network and far less ubiquitous in our bodypolitic," NewsBusters managing editor Curtis Houck told Fox News Digital about MSNBC, which launched in 1996.

Houck believes that nowadays, liberals have a multiple options when looking to "be spoon-fed their talking points" but MSNBC honchos "need to figure something out unless NBCUniversal is content with perpetually rearranging deck chairs on their version of The Titanic."

I find MSNBC intolerable the last few years as they have moved to a women's and black grievance network.

All white men bad.

Mirror opposite of Fox where all white men are victims.

Liberals would need to prefer it most for your assumption to make sense.

That poll is almost decade old. And I also don't subscribe to polls. Ratings tell the story.

What is the fascination with the MSM ratings?

And why does it matter enough to create a thread?

I don't watch the news on TV, and most folks get there news online, seems rather silly to obsess over such nonsense.

Tell that to the Fox News obsess-ers !

Then you are willingly embracing ignorance, which explains your earlier assertion.
 
I don't care about rating. I care about the truth. All ratings show is how many people watch. Every... single... news outlet has a bias. TV, radio, internet, Johnny down the street, every single one of them has a slant one way or the other.

I am simply stating a fact. Polling is an important way to gain knowledge. You are choosing to ignore that knowledge. This is the definition of willful ignorance.

No it's not. Political polling is a circle jerk and absolves one of critical thinking. "SEE, MORE PEOPLE AGREE WITH ME, SO YOU ARE A POOPY HEAD"

Incorrect, polling is how we gauge where the population is at for certain issues. It is a well established with over a century's worth of track record.

The effect you are citing tends to be a misuse of polling.

Nope, its just the both cable TV and conservative skew towards old people. This was already established in this thread.

No the people who watch news shows and listen to radio new and politics show are conservatives

To some degree, yes, to some degree no. NPR, even though it is slightly liberal in its programming, already filled that market slot quite nicely.

Generally, I prefer MSNBC over CNN. I noticed people in my orb who tend to tune into FOX, also tend to live in a world of angry delusion and spew hyper-partisan rants.

See, this is your problem. You make assumptions that are not even close to the truth.

Have you ever watched their content? No assumptions. They are hands down the wokest of the woke of cable news
 
And the liberal news channels - ABC, NBC and CBS - beat Fox News and OAN by a factor of about 10x.

Is this supposed to mean something?

"MSNBC flops in May: Network had smallest monthly audience since 1999" -- just like the Democrat party in general.

Like I said after the election results came in... the best argument against having Democrats in power is to put them there and see what happens.

Sadly yes. But, dang, what damage gets done in order to see what will happen.
