Haven’t watched MSNBCLSD in years. Nothing of value what-so-ever. Fox is getting close though.
One sleazy scandal after another emerged from the Ubama White House and people wanted honest reporting about them, so naturally they turned off MSNBC and went where they could get the news and the facts in a fair and balanced way.
These ratings reports are anything but “unexpected”.
MSNBC, at this moment is on life support!!! A number of factors inside and out are at the apex of its multiple problems. First, POTUS Obama, ineffective with his agenda from the vey start of his second term, is truly a “Lame Duck” POTUS. Add to that the multiple (more to come) “Obama” scandals, one after the other, which are really just beginning and things get even worse as MSNBC tries to sweep the negative “Obama” news under the rug by covering political activity, that no objective person would consider important.
Add to these factors, a terribly weak & ineffective “line-up” of boring, non-factual shows, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Al Sharpton, Joe & Mika in the AM, Chris Matthews, etc. Then, of course, add some liberal disgust with the “Obama Thug Mantra”, coupled with a rising view from African-Americans, seeing that Obama has done zilch for them (They are worse off under Obama, then any other American POTUS) and they will be heavily weighted down and blamed for many years to come for their unfounded, unrewarded, undying support of Obama which has produced, little progress, gain or opportunity for Black and minority folks.
Bottom line: Obama is now damaged goods. He is going down, either sooner or later....but......he will either resign, be impeached or, most likely, just be rendered useless and ineffective as a criminal, thug, and tyrant leader. it happens to all despots, and....it will take its toll on Obama!!! The upcoming 2014 mid-term elections will clearly demonstrate this. Obamacare is dying on the vine, it may be overturned or, more likely altered with a common sense scapel knife.
MSNBC needs radical programming change right now!!! Otherwise, things will continue to detoriate until the MSNBC fails totally.

From the link:
... it’s not just MSNBC. The online left has seen a steep decline in traffic since the election as well, which indicates to me that our audience in general is simply not interested in following politics at the moment.
******************************************************************
Most of the traffic to liberal sites was fake. Like fake twitterers... As much a lie as the astroturf Occupy Movement - with it’s ‘CraigsList hired protesters.
Chick fil A was the truth - almost a million
conservatives showed up. Liberals couldn’t field 2 gays per store for photo-ops. Even with the press willing to ‘meet them at an appointed time’....
The left has based their ‘popularity on paid stooges and trolls.
