Rachel Maddow, the biggest star on the MSNBC cable network, just posted her lowest quarterly ratings results ever. “Morning Joe,” MSNBC’s signature morning program, scored its second-lowest quarterly ratings, reaching an average of just 87,000 viewers in the key news demographic group. And “Ronan Farrow Daily,” the network’s heavily promoted new afternoon show, which stars a 26-year-old Rhodes Scholar with a high-profile Hollywood lineage, has been largely a dud. Though it has mostly happened quietly, which may be a comment on the cable network’s larger status in the media landscape, MSNBC has seen its ratings hit one of the deepest...

msnbc has been known as the standard water carrier for the prezbo

this must be another indication that the folks have tuned out

the prezbos asinine policies and statements

“Morning Joe,” MSNBC’s signature morning program, scored its second-lowest quarterly ratings, reaching an average of just 87,000 viewers in the key news demographic group.

And the daytime numbers are much worse. Mr. Farrow’s show averaged just 45,000 viewers in the preferred group, down 51 percent from other programming in the same slot last year.

Gee, what a surprise! MSNBC edges ever closer to cable news irrelevancy, and head suit Phil Griffin cluelessly spins his ass right into the ground attempting to explain his leadership failure.

Their entire primetime lineup is swirling down into the rating's drain eddy and bozo Phil can't figure out that Matthews, Hayes, and Maddow, aided and abetted by Sharpton and O'Donnell pre and post, are the reason for the free fall in their most important revenue driving demographic, the 25 to 54-year-old viewers. Since '09 they, and those who preceeded them, have combined for a whopping and disasterous 68% loss of the demo. Averaging a paltry 125,000 nightly viewers, not a heck of a lot more than fill Michigan's stadium for a football game, in a country of 300+ million ought to be enough to show Phil the door and bring in the next Barry fluffer to give it a go.

Other than that my only suggestion would be to get Maddow out of drag and see if it helps his time slot.
