What was that you were saying about MSNBC ratings?

[usmbguest5318]

??? Where is the obvious simple answer option of "no?"

I don't watch Maddow, but if the choice were to do so or swim naked in a pool of double-edged razor blades, I "sho nuff" would be watchin' Rachel.

Thank you. That bark of laughter I just issued woke me up.

YW. Glad to be of some help in getting you and your day started in earnest. LOL

I don't know how people can watch these types of shows with any regularity. Don't people wonder what information is being ignored, avoided, distorted? People can't actually think they're getting the whole story - do they?

Don't people wonder what information is being ignored, avoided, distorted?

If the viewership of both Fox and MSNBC programs is even anecdotally accurate as an indicator of the answer to your question, the answer is almost certainly "no."

People can't actually think they're getting the whole story - do they?

I dare say:

1. They most certainly can.
2. Many most certainly do think they're getting the whole story, or at least the germane bits of it.

MSNBC Beats Fox News As Rachel Maddow Has One Of TV's Top Shows Thursday

MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show was the most-watched show in all of cable TV Thursday, with a total audience of nearly 3.2 million viewers. Maddow's ratings were high enough to put the show on the Top 20 list of programs on all of television, landing at #12 behind shows like Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy and Will & Grace.

Maddow, who has been focusing relentlessly on the investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the campaign of Donald Trump, often devoting long segments to methodically reviewing documents and timelines relating to the unfolding investigation that has shaken the White House and threatened Trump's presidency.

Maddow's ratings came on a big night for the network, with three of the top ten shows on all of cable, including The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell(#5) and All In with Chris Hayes (#6). MSNBC, which had record ratings in 2017 and finished second to long-time cable news leader Fox News in the February ratings period, took a decisive overall win Thursday, beating both Fox News and CNN among viewers 25-54, the demographic coveted by advertisers. Fox News remained on top among total viewers.

Now see? That's what happens when you give the people what they REALLY want. Truth, insight, and citations up the wazoo.

Go, Rachel!!

I wouldn't know, I have never seen a single solitary second.

Has he ever been in the top twenty of all TV shows on a given night? Doubtful. I'll wait patiently for you to prove me wrong, though.

i tried watching her once ....she was just to annoying for me....hannity is the same old shit,O'Riley lectured, o'donnel is a jerk....if it wasnt for greg gutfelds show on sat i would not watch any kind of political show at all....

She's my favorite, followed immediately by Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell. Sorry she's not your cup of tea, she certainly works hard to not only get all the information, but make it easy for the average watcher to understand.

Maddow is well researched for every show. She explains complex issues in understandable ways

She does get a bit long winded .......get to the point Rachael
She also has a tendency for goofy looking facial expressions

But she also has one of those smiles where you pretty much have no choice but to smile back.

I think a big part of why she is so popular is because she does make things easy to understand. She would have made a great professor - I'm glad we got her, though.

Much of the reason you like her and like her smile is that you like what she is saying. For those who don’t like what she is saying, the response is just the opposite. That is the problem with these pundits. It's opinion, too much opinion. Not just bare facts. I think Americans have lost the ability to differentiate between bare facts and a biased perspective.

Nope. I like her smile because I like her smile.

You seem very arrogant.

Wrong end of the day, though. I've had the past ten days off, but normally I work second shift, play third, sleep first. Currently I'm up past my bedtime by about two hours. Hence the falling asleep.

...she certainly works hard to not only get all the information, but make it easy for the average watcher to understand.

When you say "all the information", are you saying that she provides the whole story, presenting the "other side" as well and completely as the other side would, and lays it all out for the viewer to decide?
.

What other side would there be to facts? She's presenting facts. If she reaches a conclusion, she states that this is her opinion and there aren't enough facts to sustain her belief.

you didn't address the facts above concerning other college dropouts who've done very well.

i wonder why.

Such as? She has a board that takes up the whole screen of people who are no longer with the Trump administration. What would the ignored/avoided/distorted be? Are they still there?

I follow the news. I listen to the educated and the wise. Insert your hearty laugh here - but this is one of the guys I pay careful attention to.

Laurence H. Tribe | Harvard Law School

Laurence H. Tribe, the Carl M. Loeb University Professor and Professor of Constitutional Law at Harvard, has taught at its Law School since 1968 and was voted the best professor by the graduating class of 2000. The title “University Professor” is Harvard’s highest academic honor, awarded to just a handful of professors at any given time and to just 68 professors in all of Harvard University’s history. Born in China to Russian Jewish parents, Tribe entered Harvard in 1958 at 16; graduated summa cum laude in Mathematics (1962) and magna cum laude in Law (1966); clerked for the California and U.S. Supreme Courts(1966-68); received tenure at 30; was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences at 38 and to the American Philosophical Society in 2010; helped write the constitutions of South Africa, the Czech Republic, and the Marshall Islands; has received eleven honorary degrees, most recently a degree honoris causa from the Government of Mexico in March 2011 that was never before awarded to an American and an honorary D. Litt. From Columbia University; has prevailed in three-fifths of the many appellate cases he has argued (including 35 in the U.S. Supreme Court); was appointed in 2010 by President Obama and Attorney General Holder to serve as the first Senior Counselor for Access to Justice; and has written 115 books and articles, including his treatise, American Constitutional Law, cited more than any other legal text since 1950. Former Solicitor General Erwin Griswold wrote: “[N]o book, and no lawyer not on the [Supreme] Court, has ever had a greater influence on the development of American constitutional law,” and the Northwestern Law Review opined that no-one else “in American history has… simultaneously achieved Tribe’s preeminence… as a practitioner and… scholar of constitutional law.”

So no, I don't just watch the evening talking heads and that's all I do. I'm here with you lot. And of course, I would love it if there were conservatives who are currently worth listening to - okay, I like Shep Smith as well. Very much. He's intelligent, insightful, knows to stick with the facts and not reach conclusions or extrapolate without the facts to back him.

WTF are you smokin? If you dont think this bull dike is anything but a political hack JUST like Hannity, Lintball or any of these talking heads left or right I have a bridge to sell you.

Interesting. Anyone with the ability to read for comprehension would see that Madcow barely beat Hannity (#2) and the #3 (Tucker Carlson) and #4 (Laura Ingraham) shows were also on Fox News. I would say that Fox beat the living dogshit out of MSNBC for the evening with three of the top 4 shows.

But then again, I am not a libtard with reading comprehension difficulties.

Like she did with Trump's tax returns, proving not only does he pay taxes, but millions of dollars worth!

She kind of stepped on her own dick with that one!
