Rachel Maddow's program experienced gigantic ratings growth....................

When your ratings suck, it's easy to make a sizable "percentage" improvement.

Her ratings are still a fart in a whirlwind.

I don't understand why as many people listen to the mad cow as do... Don't they realize how much she flat out lies?

I have on several occasions, on another board in the past, disassembled her remarks. I never found an instance where she could rely on the truth alone. She always lied on one or more points, which were verifiable with simple searches. In the recent days, I recall one article saying her ratings slipped in the past because MSNBC wasn't listening to he fans. Maybe they listened to her more vocal fans, changing the show accordingly. Maybe they didn't, and required her to be more factual. What ever the case, the slipped in ratings and came back. Cherry picking start and stop points are effective on ignorant readers and listeners, but not those of us who look at more facts beside what we are spoon-fed.

I find this funny as I an more of a participant in Global Warming debates than any other. The alarmist pundits often cherry pick an approximate 1979 to 1998 timeframe. They love this timeframe to blame rising temperatures on CO2, but the late 70's is also when we started clearing the skies form pollution accumulated since the 40's... EPA regulations... leading to a more transparent atmosphere, and more solar energy heating.

Always have to be careful of cherry picked timelines.

Like the fact that they are getting a ratings boost from this circus of an election, most likely just like Maddow?

No assumption will make it an "increase" of 128% in his average.
 
I have a coworker who is so damn ignorant when it comes to politics. He's a die-hard liberal, and will Bush Bash like crazy, and bash any right leaning person. He thinks I'm a republican simply because I speak of the harms of the current administration. No matter how many times I remind him I'm libertarian, and I simply despise the generic democrat politicians more than I despise the genetic republican politicians, he keeps coming at me like I'm in favor of republicans. So I hate Hillary, and will never vote for her. I blew his mind when I told him I would vote for Sanders over most of the republicans running.

Last week, my younger daughter sent me pics of the Sanders rally here in Portland. Said she was voting for Sanders. She was apprehensive about telling me this, but I told her "anybody but Hillary." like most young people, the schools have convinced her to register democrat. I can't vote in the Oregon presidential primaries registered as "not affiliated," but she can.

Anyway, back to my coworker. He will often spout some silly statistic he heard at me to get a response. He does the same thing with maintenance issues that he knows pisses me off. We have a mutual adversarial relationship you could say. He was talking about taxing the 1% more. He was so sure of himself, until I asked him to run the numbers and see what that would actually accomplish. I reminded him that he was only repeating what some pundit said, since he only has canned responses, and that I have run the numbers before. Just about every time we has such political discussions, he walks away shortly.

Left or right............it matters not because I pick from a class of web sites called "news compilers............who gather the news reports focused on specific subject or interest.............the reports they post are from responsible and reliable news outlets.....

The only problem you may have is.............you do not like the news reported because it breaks into your bubble of unreality

LMMFAO... You must be joking yoda the phony conservative.

What you posted is pure spin designed to give people the false impression that MSNBC's viewership is gaining on Fox News... That's pure BS and here's the reality:

Comparing Q1 2016 to Q1 2015:

Fox News - 649,000 more prime-time viewers gained per hour.
MSNBC__ - 352,000 more prime-time viewers gained per hour.

Fox News - 283,000 more viewers gained per hour over the entire day.
MSNBC__ - 186,000 more viewers gained per hour over the entire day.

That's 84% and 69% more viewers gained respectfully, than MSNBC. The reality is, that across the board Fox News over the last year has gained significantly more viewers than MSNBC has. That goes for the target demo of 25-54 and every single day-part too. Anyone reading that propaganda piece of yours, would get the false impression that MSNBC is soaring and Fox News is stagnant, or even losing ground.... Nothing could be further from the truth.

"Bubble of unreality" indeed.

I've never seen him, so I don't know - I have seen Maddow though and she just grates on me, even when she's right.

The reality is that the republicans competing for the presidential nomination are more interesting than the democrats so the news station that leans towards the right is much more likely to gain viewers than those leaning left or even neutral. I'm willing to bet there will be major drops in viewership for all such stations next Q1.

AND even if from "left wing sources" as you say..............does not make the news reports untruthful..............or you were not aware of that possibility.............

OMG...........making judgment without ever bothering to read the news reports................Rather suspect if you ask me........

Being a conservative is to be a free thinker............ and to respect others point of view............ and to speak ones mind as one sees it............. belief in the rule of law

Conservative is not having to believe the same way on all issues............denigrating o0thers who do not believe are yall.............. or "tearing down" of our legally elected government and/or slandering or disrespecting the Office of the President........

That is called intellectual slavery.............. as some one said............

CONSERVATISM IS MY VEHICLE NOT MY MASTER.
