MSNBC Continues to Beat Fox in Key Demos... See it for yourself clearly at cool link!!!

Read it for yourself at the link below, I believe that apparently you can see the daily cable ratings a day later at this website:

More raw numbers:

Much better breakdown than mine is found at Kos:

Some very good news for us and more terrible news on how much CNN sucks in business part of their gig, which is making money for their bean counters .

This is what I can see from this one snapshot taken on Tuesday, 9/19/12 but somethings that has been trending this way for a bit is:


Mourning Schmoe loses to Fox and Friends by half (that shit is embarrassing) but has essentially double the CNN viewers of Early/Starting Point, whatever that show is.

Tweety(live) loses to The Five (shakes head) but is close in the key 25-54 demo. But Tweety(live) is killing, like in bloody fucking murder, Leslie's first hour of the The Situation Room on CNN.

The Rev is sorta close to Brett Baier in the key demo but for some reason is like half in the other two. But The Rev, like Tweety(live) is completely smashing Wolf's second hour of the The Situation Room, with close to double the ratings of CNN in every demo.

Tweety(repeat!!!) does only half the viewers as Shep Smith overall but is right behind 'ol Shep in the key demo. And he again and again is defeating the horrible Erin Burnett by MORE than double all demos!!! Now I know why they repeat Tweety each day, its because they make respectable money on it...with a freaking repeat!

Ed has roughly half the viewers of Billo, but is somewhat close in the key demo. But yet again, the story is how MSNBC, this time in the form of Ed, is again just killing CNN. Ed is solidly beating AC360(live) in the key demo and doing the double the viewers thing on him in the other demos shown.

Now it gets real fun:

Rachel is rightbehindHannity in the overall and LEADS him in the other two demos including beating Hannity BY A NICE MARGIN in the key demo!!! And she has almost TRIPLE the viewers in EVERY category over Mr. Fucking Piers (HACKER) Morgan on CNN!!! HAHAHAHA

LO is also rightbehingGreta in the overall and in comfortably ahead in the key demo and slightly ahead in the other demo. He also, now of course quite naturally, is completely beating the AC360(repeat) on CNN by having double its audience.

Thats what I get out of these numbers, which I think I understand but would be happy to be enlightened on something I got wrong, you know, sort of how Rachel says after explaining a topic and then asks her guest if "she got anything wrong"... I definitely ain't comparing myself to Ms. Maddow but just saying I am up for any more info on this truly breaking news. I think I mostly got it right but understanding these numbers is new to/for me.

I wish they had the Martin Bashir slot listed, did not see it there... He has/is been on freaking fire for a long time now!!!

MSNBC is currently killing CNN and gaining on Fox, so this real news.

How long it lasts is anyones guess. Much as I hate Phil Griffin for so many things, he just might have been successful in positioning MSNBC at this moment to capitalize on the bad summer for Rmoney and now worse fall. They also have 3 solid hours of Alex, Tamron and the aforementioned Mr. Bashir. And Chuckie Toad, Mrs. Greenspan and The Cycle, as a friend used to say "everyone can't be a Maserati!!!" I think MSNBC will continue to rise and do well, after the election will it settle out with progressives getting back to their lives somewhat and the Faux News junkies watching more than ever due to their heavy election loses...

I don't feel like a victim at all.

I'm thinking Current siphons off some liberal viewers from MSNBC in the evening, since they've been bulking up their prime time block.
P.S. Who is Mrs.Greenspan?

Current is dead to me since they lost Keith, anyway.

that are empty but boast 80 occupant capacity (when only 25 can actually fit!) which, I'm sure, is tallied in the Nielsen ratings even though only empty, blue plastic chairs are watching.

Judging from what I hear on Clear Channel and see on Faux Snooze and the other media, I thought that demographic was what everybody is fighting for.

I was hospitalized last year for about a month, and was watching msnbc on a regular basis from my room. It was quite enlightening and I was really impressed by the rev. Maddow of course, simply blew my sock off.

It will tip more to MSNBC every day as there become fewer and fewer angry white men.
