MSNBC spiralling downward in ratings freefall[W:191]

I know everyone bends the truth, on television and in life. I watch Fox because they bend it less. I used to watch "Morning Joe" because they were interesting and serious, but the propaganda load became too heavy. Now I watch CBS in the morning.

Bend it less? You're kidding right? They have been caught more than any other biased cable station.

Speaking in general terms (beyond the particular list of MSNBC 'talent'), I would agree that the left is too intelligent to be taken in by the crude caricature of journalism that talk media typically presents.

This does not reflect well on the right who apparently is not.

I believe YOU believe that and I believe that other liberals believe that - which is why liberal government always knows better what people need than anyone else. It's what leads to totalitarianism. The poor stupid people don't know what's best but we, the most intelligent liberals who do not need anyone telling US because WE know better because we're smarter, do know. The arrogance and morose ineptness of MSNBC however do not prove out your hypothesis.

Which all ties in to the fruitless nature of the OP, and how it is ultimately a fail (left wing talk media fails because the left is too intelligent to be taken in by it, unlike the eager acceptance of right wing talk media by the clueless right).

It's time the media is controlled by the government, don't you think Komrade?

Relax, Grim's skivvies get all bunched up when anyone criticizes Fox News and you saying they all suck is doing just that.

I've found that Conservatives have the short memory on history. Ask who the worst President in history is and you get "Obama" because they can't remember anyone before Clinton.

But I'm not sure I get what your point was. Is this the usual con chest-beating?

It used to be Carter - but Obama makes Carter's ineptness and weakness look feeble and childlike. Bill actually was a good President - if he could just control his zipper he'd have been one of the better in the 20th century.

I think you're indulging in some wishful thinking, but it doesn't really matter because MSNBC will never bring back KO. And by 2016 MSNBC may very well be out of business or completely reformatted.

Which is why the Hail Mary pass is in order.

I always got the sense that Carter was sincere ... a screwball, to be sure, but sincere.
Obama is simply deceptive and dishonest and, yes, incredibly driven to remake the Country.

When it comes to political opinion shows, of course they see things from a partisan perspective that often times paints an incomplete story. When it comes to MSNBC, they inject political opinion and blatant bias into all their programming, while Fox News offers hard news programming that is as opinion free as you will find anywhere.

It is for that reason, that I fully expect the left to call them all a "Joke" whenever MSNBC or CNN is the target of criticism. Doing so however is a political strategy, not a reality.

Agreed... I thought Carter was an honest man that was just in over his head. While Obama doesn't even have the honesty thing going for him.

Fox is the biggest joke of all. They have time and time again proven their bending the truth to feed into their conservative agenda. And the majority of their viewers are 65 plus.

Fox is merely the most scrutinized. No one looks closely at CNN or MSNBC because they don't matter. As for the age of viewers, ALL cable news networks have audiences with a median age of 60+.

[h=3]Half of Fox News' Viewers Are 68 and Older - The Atlantic[/h]www.theatlantic.com/.../01/...fox-news-viewers.../283385/The Atlantic


Jan 27, 2014 - Fox News is losing younger viewers at an even faster rate than its competitors. With a median viewer age now at 68 according to Nielsen data ... voted for the GOP presidential candidate by an average of 9 percentage points.

Jimmy Carter created the Department of Energy, and he was the first POTUS to go solar - he had panels put on the White House roof - unfortunately he was ahead of the curve by about 30 years, but he was thinking ahead, and today is called a visionary...not bad for someone 90 years old! :thumbs:.

By the way, do you recall requesting a makeover? I don't, and I always remember things like that! Now maybe I need a makeover, but that's a subject I'd rather discuss another day..... :lamo:.

Fox feeds into the scare tactics because of the age of their viewers. I guess you could call that smart. As people get older they become Mohr fearful.
 
Re: MSNBC spiralling downward in ratings freefall

As Obama goes, MSNBC follows in Obama's footprints.

There is no factual basis for your generalization. And again, ALL cable news has an audience of 60+ YOA.

What a blathering bunch of hooey.

Liberals are the most lemming-induced band of non-thinking codependents in the country. They think history began the day they were born, and their entire political opinion is based on a random song they heard from Green Day.

Liberals are Obama. Zero life experienced, zero personal success or ambition, and a life's worth of bitterness based on bad experiences in junior high school.

Well, this is just about the biggest steaming pile I've ever read.
