It ain't pretty, folks; I just love it when good old U.S. capitalism crushes the non-performers!

Not exactly good, it will probably provoke them to further to the extreme left than they already have in order to gain back their viewer ship.

How could their ratings be collapsing when they never had ratings to begin with

95% of the braintrust at NBC left with Tim Russert and Jerry Nachman.

If Al Gore has his own network, can the David Lynch network be far behind?

One rating briefly approached and veered wide.

If it weren’t for airport lounges and hospital waiting rooms, MSNBC would have NO ratings.

Further to the left?

The only people who’d be able to follow along would be those all doped up who think being stoned gives them clarity and special insight into the TRUTH of the world, man. The TRUTH.

Of course, given their numbers, maybe they’re already there.

That was my first thought! How can something that is completely flat collapse?

Hey, I’d watch Lynch’s network. Time-lapsed video of a dead chicken decomposing beats Al Gore any day!

Not a surprise & they will continue to do so until they start to act like professional journalists. Since that it likely never going to happen: get ready for a bankruptcy application in the near future. Which they will likely let happen as they are died in the wool dogmatists who would rather cling to discredited rhetoric than admit truth as honest reporters.

These stations don't care about ratings.

Nothing will get them off the air.

No matter what "it" is, if "it" is built by liberals, "it" will eventually collapse
