MSNBC's Ratings Match Democrats' Sinking Fortunes

As the Democratic Party loses popularity with voters, the party’s "house network" MSNBC is seeing its ratings plummet among the all-important 25-to-54 age group, according to USA Today media critic Michael Wolff.

In the October ratings battle, MSNBC trailed Fox News and CNN in total day viewership and garnered its lowest prime-time total audience since 2005, according to Mediabistro. In terms of total-day viewership among 25- to 54-year-olds, the network ranked behind Fox, CNN, and HLN.

MSNBC’s star Rachel Maddow recently experienced her lowest quarterly ratings since her show began.

The network has tried to emulate Fox News’ success in building an audience of ideologically driven viewers, and in the mid-to-late 2000s managed to boost its very low ratings by identifying with the growing unpopularity of the Bush administration.

With Barack Obama’s election as president in 2008, MSNBC thought it had found its ticket toward ratings success in his efforts to transform the United States.

I refuse to watch any network that supports Obama. And I wouldn't give you a dead rats ass for Piers Morgan.

Rachael Madcow should be put to pasture. If you take her seriously then you have a serious mental disease.
I cut the cable TV three years ago and have not looked back once.

I heard in the news yesterday, that CNN has been dropped from Dish Network due to lack of viewership. Like the liberal newspapers, the Mainstream media is loosing viewership. More and more of us are looking to alternative media because of the liberal bias and lies that are fed to us on a daily basis from the government and corporate controlled media.
