MSNBC Prime (M-F 8-11pm) Continues to Lead Both FOX News and CNN in Total Viewers and A25-54 for the 4th Straight Week
“The Rachel Maddow Show” is the #1 Cable News Program in Total Viewers and A25-54 for the Week
“The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” and “The 11th Hour with Brian Williams” Are #1 in Both Total Viewers and A25-54 for the Week
“MSNBC Live with Ali Velshi,” “Deadline: White House” and “Hardball with Chris Matthews” Are #1 in Total Viewers
Wow. I knew Maddow was raking in the numbers but those other guys are holding their own. Is the news businesses dominated by a mean mean world dominated by right wing hate? Well maybe not so much now. It's good to have a little competition. *cough* free market *cough*
MSNBC IS THE #1 CABLE NEWS NETWORK FOR WEEK OF DEC. 17, BEATING FOX NEWS FOR 1ST TIME IN 17 YEARS
Government Shutdown Coverage Pushes MSNBC To Big Win Over Fox News
It just goes to show how weak the other bash Trump networks are, making them the tallest midget.
Trump has been a godsend for MSNBC and has made Maddow a superstar. That is the only good thing you can credit him with.
Midget is not PC.
Fox News has been cautiously testing the waters by opposing Trump on some issues, and the result was predictable.
The moment they stopped kow-towing to him one hundred percent, viewers started writing and calling in, promising that they were done with the network.
I said many times that Fox might be forced to move more to the center or center-Right in the next few years. Had Sinclair won their proposed 73% market penetration with the acquisition of a hundred or so Tribune stations, they most likely would have started up their own Sinclair Cable News Network and they would have OBLITERATED the Fox News dominance of right wing viewership in a hot second.
But that's not the only force at work on the Murdoch empire. His kids, who are exercising more and more control of the family business, are not Trump fans. They're not liberals by any stretch but they are not on the same page as the elder Murdoch, and even the old man has begun to sour on the Orange Man Baby.
Thus the Murdoch family has been expecting the minor glitch in Fox's ratings. There was nowhere else to go.
It is going to be a very interesting next few months.
Agreed, but we have to come up with a better term than “little people”. Because there are little people and there are little people. WAY too vague.

Is that impressive, especially considering Fox is really the big mainstream source for right wing nuttery, whereas MSNBC and CNN are both alternatives to that and compete for "non-crazy" viewers?
In dabbling in all three networks, I find MSNBC's guests/contributors to be first rate, and their hosts over all good and some of them even-handed. I'm usually embarssed for the human race when I watch most Fox shows. CNN seems like a facade , people who kind of look like news people (wolf, don, cooper), but don't to me, have any big compelling qualities as hosts...and all together seem more like actors than MSNBC's more professional seeming line-up.
I'm surprised Ari isn't #1, he's got a great show, and has broken a number of things this year. Chris Matthews kind of bores me, and he interrupts guests too much, maybe he's for an older generation that knew him from days gone by.
Lawrence is by far the most partisan, but as wicked as his commentary is, it's usually pretty hard to disagree with..although I generally only watch the first 10-15 minutes if at all.
Maddow's show is such a different kind of show, I really don't see anything like it elsewhere. It can get tedious at times, especially with Trump redux (the way bits unfold a month later...and then again in another month, causing a lot of re-hashing), but she also pulls in those great MSNBC contributors/guests and rounds it out. I do tape that and fast-forward if it gets slow.

It's funny to see the people who love to accuse those they disagree with of being "snowflakes" and "triggered" act like complete ******s when their worldview is challenged in any way.Fox News has been cautiously testing the waters by opposing Trump on some issues, and the result was predictable.

Do/did you watch Succession TV show???

Dominated by right-wing hate...
Even though it's the left that's been pushing violence and harassment of the right for a long while now?
Because it's been a very long time since I've seen anyone on the political right, outright defend right-wing terrorism.
Nope, I heard about it but never got to watch it.
Ari and Chris Cuomo are my go to guys, but Cuomo butters up the both sides issue way too much. I watch Don Lemon when I want to watch someone yell at Trump. Lawrence does well during election time as does John King/Wolf and w/e panels CNN has on at the time. I don't watch Maddow. Never like her and find nothing appealing about her.
I watch Hannity/Tucker when I want to see someone freak out.
funny how you took off right wing harassment.
It's all about a media family's power struggles.
That's right, I forgot about Cuomo. He's fairly entertaining and has some chops.
I use to check in on Hannity/Tucker to be sure that the "right wing media" machine was still bat-**** crazy. A false sense of security. It actually elected a president, a president who basically does what they push him,and their viewers to do/say. It's not a lot more depressing to see it.
It just goes to show how weak the other bash Trump networks are, making them the tallest midget.
Then cite it for me and we can both stand against it.
But you remaining willfully ignorant of what has been transpiring over the last few years is going to change how this whole **** shows been progressing.
The majoriyt of the hate, has been coming from the left and ignoring that isn't helping.
