Rachel Maddow and MSNBC don’t give Trump and his administration a platform for their lies, and viewers have responded by making them number one.

According to Neilson numbers provided to PoliticusUSA by MSNBC:

MSNBC capped off its 3rd consecutive record ratings year as the #1 cable news network in prime (M-F 8-11pm) for December, according to Nielsen. December to-date (11/26-12/17), MSNBC prime was #1 in both A25-54 and total viewers. December marked the 1st month ever in which MSNBC prime beat both FOX News and CNN in A25-54 and total viewers, averaging 438K viewers A25-54 (vs. CNN’s 362K and FOX News’ 407K) and 2.51M total viewers (vs. CNN’s 1.3M and FOX News’ 2.47M). “The Rachel Maddow Show” at 9 pm was the #1 show across all cable news for December, averaging 573K viewers A25-54 (vs. CNN’s 375K and FOX News’ 424K) and 3.1M total viewers (vs. CNN’s 1.3M and FOX News’ 2.7M). “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” at 10 pm and “The 11th Hour with Brian Williams” at 11 pm also won their hours in both A25-54 and total viewers.

2. Traitortrump got himself

overkill with his vicious ugly rallies & every time he regurgitated.

3. +1. I am so proud of MSNBC.

10. Like going to a Ted Nugent concert over and over and over

Barf!

[lunatica]

4. From the beginning Rachel told us they wouldn't deal with Trump's tweets

She said they would be watching what he does.

[brandnewday2009]

5. Rachel doesn't, but...

I have seen the Rump cult leader spouting off aplenty on MSNBC morning shows (maybe afternoon as well).

[thegoose]

11. You have to wsit until after Chuck Toad

For the grown-ups to come into the room.

6. That's great. I haven't watched since the election because I can't stand hearing or seeing 45.

Maybe I will try watching, although they do put on some lying right wingers.

7. Having fingers helps to change channels on the remote.

Unless you can verbally tell your tv.

I generally don't turn the tv on until the afternoon. After Andrea Mitchell. Don't care for her. I usually watch some other channel or from the DVR. I might watch some Ali Velshi later. For sure Nicolle Wallace on Deadline: White House. Then it is the local news. I catch the end of Ari Melber and beginning of Chris Matthews. Though most of the time I go deaf with his rants before changing to Jeopardy. I stay with over the air until 9 unless there is something I want to watch on the regular networks. If not, it is Rachel Maddow and then Lawrence.

The lying right wingers are usually on hours I don't watch.

8. MSNBC broacast Huckabee Sanders live the other day so I turned it off

[Gothmog]

15. Evidently, Sanders was only on for 3 minutes before MSNBC cut her off

[TeamPooka]

17. 3 minutes too late for keeping me

20. I think they said her conference only lasted ten minutes.

And it was the first one in about 48 days?

9. MSNBC shows Trump constantly

He's pretty much all they ever talk about.

[Sherman A1]

22. And in my opinion was a contributing factor to his election

All the cable noise channels seemed to have this fascination with every breath he took. Trump is truly the south end of a north bound horse, but he played the media like a fiddle.

[oberliner]

24. Along with CNN

I very much agree.

[Sherman A1]

27. Precisely

He played all of them CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and well Faux was the house organ from the get-go.

[Honeycombe8]

12. I listen to MSNBC podcasts daily. I hear clips of Trump frequently.

I assumed they were also showing clips, but since it's a podcast, I don't know. They play them to show a contrast to the facts or yet another outrageous lie. But they don't give him a platform, like showing his rallies and such. As if he were a legitimate President.

[Az_lefty]

13. Good for them, tRump is definitely finished

[ZeroSomeBrains]

14. Good for MSNBC

Maybe the other anchors will learn to follow suit with the 8-11pm group. I usually can't stand the usual suspects in the morning through Matthews outside of Ari and Ali Velshi.

[Wounded Bear]

16. Why bother?

One interview per year gets you their talking points, after that its all gaslighting and bullshitting.

[FromMissouri]

18. for a couple years now

I change the channel whenever a "news" report has the Orangutan speaking, saying anything. Never thought it would make a difference. But I don't want to see a man destroying America with everything he says and does. And I don't want anyone to think I'm watching, since I'm not.

[pdsimdars]

21. It's a good day when MSBNC starts beating out FOX . . . . changing tide. thank God

[lark]

23. This is the reason she's the only news show I ALWAYS watch.

I don't have to sit through clips of assmouth all the time. I just hate everything single thing about him, the meanness, the hate, the spite, the racism, the greed, the lies, the utter stupidity the criminality the treason, his children, there is nothing in the world good about him - not even one speck of good.

[The Wizard]

25. I started sending them emails

a few months ago advising them that their audience finds Trump / Sanders repulsive and that we have TV remotes that reflexively change the channel upon hearing their grating voices or seeing their vile images. Apparently I wasn't the only one with these sentiments. I posted my email messages to them on social media advising others to express their disgust.
Maybe we should start sending similar messages to Pox News. It's OK to lie to Pox and identify ourselves as "staunch Republicans" as they are a propaganda networks running Republican campaign ads 24 / 7.
So just for shits and giggles, why not DU Pox News.

[Loubee]

26. The RW alterverse can't take comfort

in the fact that MSNBC + CNN ratings combined beat the hell out of Fox.

29. , 2018 was a very good year for @MSNBC!
