MSNBC president wants “investigation” into Fox News’ “impossible” ratings gain

MSNBC president wants “investigation” into Fox News’ “impossible” ratings gain. “Megyn Kelly blew out Rachel Maddow in the key demo on Tuesday after losing to her the night before. ‘I have never seen it in all my years of cable,’ says Phil Griffin.” One of the commenters put it best: “It can’t be because you suck, right?”

  • Oh, wait a minute. I know what it is. Phil Griffin is actually a blind guy, right? I mean, he's never actually SEEN Rachel Madcow or Megyn Kelly, right?

    • Typical libturd moron/asshole..."it's not fair"......pass a law that people have to watch PMSNBC......look at the pieces of shit talent they have on, Special ED Schultz, Ralphy Madcow, Puffy Tingles Matthews..I mean who in their right mind watches this shit? Besides other media outlets to make fun of them....When you hire limited intelligence libtards to host a program, what do you expect to happen? These lefty libturds couldn't host a wet t-shirt contest without fucking it up...Toure' would just claim it's racist and AL I don't pay no stinking taxes Sharpton would just hold a rally with 12 or 13 paid protesters....Someone really needs to explain the definition of INSANITY to this PMSNBC nutjob..Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result......Even Forrest Gump could figure it out....

  • Oh, please - Monday Night Football kills in the ratings - it's night & day between Monday and Tuesday nights @ 9:00. Plus, Megan had some controversy on Monday night so yeah, it's quite possible she doubled her ratings on Tuesday.
    The MSNBC prez needs to stop whining about how good other shows are - your channel gets the ratings it EARNS. It's like a football team getting beat every game by 60 points - the problem ain't your competition.

  • What a complete joke. PMSNBC is sucking wind so bad now they want Quagmire to bail them out.

  • Didn't like the numbers and now he's crying about them. According to the left, the numbers never lie. Now they are telling just how bad Maddow did against Kelly so there must be something wrong with them.

    There's surely more important things to investigate. You know like fast and furious, IRS, NSA, false charges against the press and the big prize Benghazi.

  • Investigation into what? Your own brand of abject stupidity? Your own brand of deceitful programming? The fact that you pathetic, lying liberal assclowns wouldn't tell the truth even though your miserable ratings tell you that the real world is a better place to live? You mean that investigation?

  • Hey Phil, I "investigated" it for ya.
    Turns out your station just SUCKS!

    My bill is 1.5 million. Certified check or cash will suffice.

  • Phil Griffin has a stable of losers, & now he wants to know why the ratings of the ship he captains is sinking like lead into the sea. You have proven ratings losers & you reward them with multi million dollar contracts. Those hosts are doing EXACTLY what got them those contracts. Time to look into the mirror, Phil, & see who it is you should be looking to blame. The only thing you got going for you is that CNN died when Bernard Shaw retired, but they never got the memo. But of course, it can't be you at fault, & WHO EXACTLY do you want to "investigate" this so called issue? Maybe Eric Holder can help you out. Or maybe you could sack Sharpton, Matthews, O'Donnell, Morning Joe, Mika, & Hayes, & bring in people who are interesting to watch who stimulate thoughtful conversation rather then the dreck that goes out night after night after night. No wonder that so many say the most interesting programing is when "LockUp" takes over MSNBC. So Philly boy, keep crying foul, just don't change a thing, & wonder why your ass keeps getting kicked.

    • Typical liberal moron...Projection: blaming others for what you yourself are doing.

      This is the farce of liberalism...and it clearly is a mental disorder...
