The MSNBC ratings keep getting worse

Just when you thought things couldn't get any worse for MSNBC, along came the quarterly ratings reports.

In both daytime and prime time, MSNBC endured its lowest quarterly demo numbers in a decade, and its total viewership since the final quarter of 2007. Prime-time viewership was down 45 percent in the demo from the first quarter of 2014, while daytime viewership was down 39 percent in the demo.

On Tuesday, while Fox News and CNN were boasting their own quarterly numbers -- Fox News remained dominant, CNN made major strides in the demo -- MSNBC chose to focus on the month of March instead, where it boasted gains in prime time and a victory for "Morning Joe" over CNN's "New Day."

Should we start an FR pool bet on when MSLSD will finally fold forever?

Liberal thought, ala "Air America" never lasts long in a Free market economy.

It’s almost as if MSNBC is going about things the wrong way ... I wonder what they’re doing wrong???

My daughter thinks they hung the moon. :-(

I thought I raised her better.

LOL, I enjoy your untagged sarcasm, finally figured you out :-)

Someone is paying the bills.

hung the moon

Please translate kind Sir.

How many viewers did they have this week?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Hung the Moon on what? On an astronomical hook?

[Fungi]

My heart bleeds, profusely, beyond measure. I hope I can live another day.

[GeronL]

Have they reached zero viewers yet?

Someone is paying the bills.

That would be Comcast, the owner of NBC, as a political contribution to the DNC.

I’d prefer a news network that gave honest non filtered, non politically biased news. I don’t want to hear the politics of pundits paid to convince us sheep how to think. Give us the raw news and let us decide. Some like to say it but I don’t believe them either.

Really genius?

[apoliticalone]

All the cable media news networks are more interested in hype for eyeballs than good factual reporting. Even the Weather Channel hypes and embellishes the coming storm to bring in eyeballs. Does my cynicism shine through?

[bray]

They should change their model. Perhaps the Indian Test Pattern could bring in the Democrat viewers?

Gotta hand it to them and liberal ideology. If it doesn’t work, do more of it, twice as hard, twice as fast and twice as costly.

It reminds me of the guy that digs a hole to get to the top of the mountain. He knows that if he digs deep enough, we will eventually get to day light. After all, we all know the world is round. Prove me wrong.
