Would Rachel Maddow's last MSNBC viewer please turn the lights out?
Oh, how our hearts go out to Rachel Maddow for her recent loss. Loss of audience, that is.
The premiere of her program was marked by grand hoopla, which was a bit of a mystery to us. We couldn’t figure out how a failed lesbian radio host (clarification: she is a failed radio host, but we have no reason to assume she is not a successful lesbian) could achieve success by teaming up with a failed cable TV network.
Despite our misgivings, it all seemed to work for a while. MSNBC rode the anti-Bush bandwagon and Maddow rode the pro-bush bandwagon to a modicum of success in 2008.
But those days are long gone. Maddow’s viewers have abandoned her like she’s a girl baby in China.
In the early days, her program regularly and handily topped one million total viewers per night. But recent ratings tell a much different story.
Take, for example, her ratings for the week of November 30-December 4. It happens to be Maddow’s lowest rated week ever:
| Date | Total Audience |
|---|---|
| Fri, Dec 4 | 643,000 |
| Thur, Dec 3 | 789,000 |
| Wed, Dec 2 | 952,000 |
| Tue, Dec 1 | 924,000 |
| Mon, Nov 30 | 816,000 |
| Total Viewers | 3,924,000 |
Five days under 1,000,000 total viewers. Three days under 900,000 viewers. Two days under 800,000 viewers. One day under 700,000 viewers.
And the total viewers for the week added up to just 3,924,000 which is Maddow’s fewest total weekly viewers since MSBNC premiered her nightly smarmfest.
Keep up the good work, Rachel. See you back on Air America with a live show real soon.

Holy shnikes that’s funny. Way more funny than Jon Stewart. And I am not talking about Rachel’s low numbers, though that is hilarious also. You guys crack me up!
This woman was on Jimmy Fallon’s show (dissapointingly it seems another liberal idiot) and talked about how the tomato Palin guy should have hurled a cake. She disgusts me even more now. I didnt think that was possible.
KQ, stay tuned, Madcow will always find new & exciting ways to disgust you. Same goes for the rest of MSNBC, no matter how low you set the bar, they will get under it.
As for the tomato tosser, I thought about going to THAT event. The Mall Of America where this happened is a 30 minute drive for me. Would have hoped that those around him what have knocked hom around some while he was trying to throw, but they did hold him for the cops.
BTW, these leftists in the MSM don’t seem to have a problem when conservitives like Ann Coulter or Jim Gilchrist(minuteman project)get threatened or have pies & other food at them while speaking at college events. No tollerance for opposing views by the open minded libs to be found in the land of “speech codes”. So when say, Al Gore ever has tomatos chucked at him, I’m assuming that the same idiots playing down the Palin incident will laugh it off? Nope, they yell BLOODY MURDER, & we all know it.
This woman went really low on the disgusting meter for me I mean so low that I even compare her to an amoeba. A brainless creature with no real purpose but to propagate. In her case propagate stupidity and hate. I dont understand how these people call themselves human beings.
Usually non liberals tend to be middle of the road and know something that this idiot and others like her dont know: civility. So you may not find a lot of people like that willing to throw anything at anyone they disagree with, but the open minded liberals seem to want to resolve everything with violence and venomous vitriole. I am open minded to the point where you disagree with me is not the mark of an intelligent human being at all.
Also libiots talk a lot about poverty and feeding the poor, but find it okay to waste food by throwing it at others? Can anyone say ha? The backwards ways of the libs continue to amaze me and I really dont know why…
I don’t think that MSNBC cares if her ratings are low. As long as she preaches the liberal line, she will have a job with them.
