Tweety screamfest with producer over declining ratings?

[RamboLiberal]

Did staffers hear a screaming match Tuesday at 30 Rock between Chris Matthews and Tammy Haddad? "Arguments have erupted over the show's alarming drop in ratings," a tipster asserts. In the 25-54 demo, Hardball averaged 128,000 in April, 116,000 in May and 100,000 in June (5 and 7pm airings combined)...

Hey Tweety, maybe your Repuke brown nosing is turning off the viewers!

1. "not that that would be good for America" re: Dems taking back the House

Tweety

[blm]

4. That comment right there made me want to kick his ass from

Here to Eternity.

[lisa58]

10. The comment that got me sick...

...was comparing that A-hole in the White House with Atticus Finch - WTF?

[Touchdown]

19. He said that?

Is his ass kissing any more obvious? Did anyone challenge him to explain himself on that? Let me take a wild guess that would be a no.:eyes:

[jsamuel]

25. Actually, Colbert got him on it

Tweety said "make me" say what I think at the beginning of the interview.

Then right after Tweety said "not that that....", Colbert said "you just did"

[City Lights]

21. Hearing him say that made me sick, but

at least he's no longer in the closet.

[blm]

2. We're SICK OF YOUR COMPLICITY WITH THE FASCISTS, CHRIS.

Cut Jack Welch out of your loop and go back to real journalism.

[themaguffin]

3. I saw that

on mediabistro too. Without any more info, who knows....

but I did see Tweety let DeLie get away with stating that Plame wasn't a CIA agent!

Ugh, I about went through the roof. Tweety didn't didn't correct him. Both are idiots.

[ellenfl]

7. but he DID say she was undercover and delay didn't

contradict that.

12. Good idea.

I gave them an earful (again). Thanks for the email addresses. :-)

[Ksec]

8. Poor Tweety. He cant help it.

He was born with a waffler gene in his ass.

[City Lights]

9. Hee-hee.

:7

Couldn'ta happened to a nicer guy... :evilgrin:

Maybe Faux is hiring...

[fearthem]

11. Do your part in further reducing Hardball numbers......

13. Meanwhile, Keith Olbermann's show is kickin' it in that demo!

Guess that means that the people with the purchasing power are more interested in objective news coverage than Republican brown-nosing.

[KharmaTrain]

14. A Bunch Of Good Stuff There...Beck's Tanking, Too

> Is this tip accurate?: "CNN photojournalists have started to carry around copies of 'CNN's Standards and Practices' when on shoots for Glenn Beck's show, due to the lack of ethics displayed by the staff of that show..."

Should we place bets on this show being "Michael Savaged" by Labor Day? The initial ratings have been a disaster. Memo to CNN: Headline NEWS means NEWS...that doesn't mean Flaming Nostrils of Justice or Asshats with Shit For Brains. BTW...Chicago's own asshat Roe Conn gets an on-air audition next week...definite "Must Not See TV"

Tweety's still the "franchise" at MessyNBC...those combined numbers are still more than Bow Tie Boy and Rita Rita Aurba Maid...as well as being Jack Welch's boy. I hope that producer has Roger Ailes number handy...she'll be needing a new gig soon.

It is interesting how Countdown has now passed Hairball...Dan Abrams has lots of work to do...

15. Anyone who still watches Hardball is an idiot

There are no excuses for it. None of this "Know your enemy" bullshit, or "we have to see what the other side is up to" nonsense. You turn that show on, you post about it, you are a fucking enabler of fascist douchebags, and that's it. Try to justify it anyway you want. You only end up sounding like an addict..."I'll try again tomorrow..."

[Batgirl]

22. does your condemnation extend to

media watch sites such as mediamatters? What about the numerous other bloggers who keep track of and report on the various media atrocities committed by the likes of Tweety? Is that okay with you or are they idiot enablers as well?

Oh an also, in the interest of avoiding your wrath, is it okay with you if someone doesn't watch Harball et al, but is interested to the extent of reading threads about it such as this one? Would such an individual -- not me, you understand, but a friend of a friend let's say -- still be an idiot and a fucking enabler of fascist douchebags?

[alcibiades_mystery]

23. Let's see

1) Media watchdogs OK.
2) Reading about it OK
3) Watching it if you're not affiliated with an organized media watchdog - not OK/ idiot

Easy, right?

16. Tweety dogged the Clintons. Now, he swoons over Bush, and "loves" Delay

His personal bias is showing. He obsessed over the Clintons for over a decade. Now his show is a love letter to the Repuglicans. Maybe that has something to do with his shitty ratings.

[otohara]

17. If He Didn't Sound Like A Rabid Republican

and Bush worshiper - he chased off what few progressive viewers he might have had.

[in_cog_ni_to]

18. Now, what were Donahue's ratings at MSRNC?

oh yeah! Donahue was the highest rated show on MSRNC when they canceled it to show their Patriotism for the illegal invasion.:eyes: Maybe they should have stayed with a 'sure' thing, eh? I hope Tweety gets canceled.

[lovuian]

20. Bye Bye Tweety... He who has kissed Bush's butt

will fall...

Heres the list
Delay
Ken Lay
Abrahamhoff
Schilling
Cunningham
the list goes on and on...

[harlinchi]

24. He should consider ratings before talking about 'sunny nobility'! n/t

[butterfly77]

26. I stopped watching that phony ...

I noticed how he talks so fast when talkin to democrats that he almost chokes on his saliva trying to talk over them. When he talks to repugs he is oh so patient usually after he has done his dirt he looks at the camera as though he is saying gotcha! the irritating spitty mouth bastard.

[fearthem]

27. I hope his show tanks, it's what he deserves as a panderer!
