CNN is crushing MSNBC tonight

[redstateblues]

Rachel is spending too much time talking about Trump dysfunction

[Sherman A1]

1. Why anyone bothers with MSNBC

is beyond me.

[elleng]

3. Right, too many facts,

who can be bothered with such?

[Sherman A1]

5. More noise than

facts

[Flaleftist]

18. Its not all bad

So Rachel just mentioned the house intel Committee has learned that Trump was negotiating with a sanctioned Russian bank during the election. I find those kind of facts interesting, despite whatever noise there might be.

[okieinpain]

21. lmao. n/t.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

28. +100.

[still_one]

14. That is Maddow's style. She provides background. If one doesn't care for that style then don't

listen to her. Obviously, enough people do though, because her ratings are doing quite well.

[Sherman A1]

20. "If one doesn't care for that style then don't listen to her"

I don't

[still_one]

35. ya want to know something, neither do I. Nor do I listen to CNN, and I also don't have an issue

with those that do

[Sherman A1]

37. I said nothing about Maddow in particular

beyond I don't watch her.

I did however say that I don't understand how anyone watches MSNBC. Do as you wish and leave me to do the same.

[still_one]

38. That is the point isn't it. It's an individual preference.

In fact I think that is exactly what you are saying also

[NurseJackie]

31. I like details, facts, and background...

... she's great.

[bdamomma]

36. I like her too

Details, facts and background works for me.

[wasupaloopa]

34. She gives much more information than some people want to hear.

It is like the people who want the first paragraph of a news story to be all you need to know. And the people who read the whole story.

[Awsi Dooger]

27. I agree, although I appreciate Matthews, O'Donnell and Hayes

John King massacres the MSNBC guy in terms of voting analysis.

The MSNBC guy is the equivalent of Gus Johnson, the sports broadcaster who never saw a play he couldn't describe with a scream and rant.

[LovingA2andMI]

39. Agree....Not Every Progressive, Liberal or Democrat In America

Watches Rachel or Joy Ann Reid either for that matter. In Fact, Over Here, We Rarely Ever Do - watch either. (LOVE Anderson Cooper & Don Lemon on CNN)...

[elleng]

2. and cnn is speculating about westmoreland county???

[Ccarmona]

4. Totally Disagree with the OP (n/t)

[elleng]

7. Ditto.

Ccarmona

[dhol82]

10. Tritto

[redstateblues]

13. The election is a brief respite from the agonizing

Drip drip drip that I follow every night. I want to bask in a possible repudiation of Trump in the PA 18 election

[obnoxiousdrunk]

29. Me too ..

[poboy2]

6. Horse race? Nope not featuring it. We will know just as soon as you will find out.

Enjoy the race/horsey talk.

[JI7]

8. Good for her for keeping attention on important things

[The Blue Flower]

9. disagree

Rick Santorum's on CNN. Ugh

[lamp_shade]

11. She has my full attention.

[TeamPooka]

12. I disagree too. Turning this big news day into "election night" coverage for 1 Special election

is bad journalism.
"it's watch the horse race, not the real news" stuff
It's a special election that won't change House control and the seat will be gone in 9 months.
Yes, it's a harbinger of November story at best that gets a segment later to look at results and future effects, Blue Wave etc
I mean The President fired his Sec. of State via Twitter today!
bad choice CNN.

[mucifer]

19. totally agree.

[zaj]

15. MSNBC is a business

And Rachel draws an audience far bigger than wonks who want to watch polling results for a special election, I suspect.

[snowybirdie]

16. Who cares to overthink

the results town by town. More interesting to listen to background and other news today. We'll find out soon enough.

[Hekate]

17. MSNBC says it's 54 to 46 so far, favoring Lamb. Too early to call at 50% in. Oops 52-47...

Your point is? If CNN is doing this wall to,wall, that's like saying there is no other news today.

[poboy2]

22. Tillerson was fired for his Russia speech.

[hedda_foil]

25. Was that on Rachel? Who?

[Ccarmona]

26. My Guess is Tillerson was Toast When Exxon pulled Out

Of it’s deal with Roseneft. He became a liability to Putin/Trump. Putin gave the order to can him after his comments.

[oasis]

23. Watching election returns has never influenced the results. We'll all know

who won within the next hour. In the meantime, MSNBC Rachel watchers will learn a lot more.

[Awsi Dooger]

24. Like always

Those two networks are not remotely competitive. And fortunately CNN is stronger, because that's the network Republicans fear. They laugh at MSNBC.

[Ccarmona]

32. The Ratings Tell A Completely Different Story Than You Perceive

RATINGS
Fox News, MSNBC, No. 1 and No. 2 On All of Cable
MSNBC continues its run as the No. 2 cable network in total viewers in prime time and total day.
Here’s basic cable’s top 5 for the week of March 5, 2018:
PRIME TIME
Total Viewers
Fox News (2,291,000)
MSNBC (1,853,000)
ESPN (1,165,000)
HGTV (1,464,000)
History (1,295,000)

33. Steve Bannon watches Rachel religiously, and not for laughs

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/2016/08/23/trump-s-debt-to-brilliant-rachel-maddow.amp

"I watch her show every night,” Bannon told me. “I’m a huge fan.” 

....


He grew to admire Maddow’s signature polemical style, in which she marshals reams of hard evidence to build a crescendoing fact-based indictment of her target. “I think the way she goes through stuff is brilliant,” Bannon exulted. “I won’t say I agree with it. But we study Huffington Post, we study Maddow. We don’t study the right. We study the best from the left. That’s who we try to model ourselves after.”
....


He has no qualms about crediting Maddow for inspiration. “[We] deconstruct her show basically every day to look for insights,” he told me. “She leaves marks on people.”.....(more)

[slumcamper]

30. Slumcamper CALLS the race for Lamb. Repeat--...

....now, back to MSNBC.

[bigtree]

40. CNN lets too many talking head republicans come on

...too much Santorum!

[Awsi Dooger]

41. Other than Jason Miller is a moron

He is bewildered that anyone could believe Trump is dragging down Republicans nationwide.

But he gives Trump full credit for showing up at the last minute and tightening the race.

I guess there's an ongoing stupidity requirement to belong to that party.
