The only things falling faster than President Obama’s approval ratings are MSNBC’s cable news ratings. Especially those of the irrepressible Rachel Maddow.
The Ron Reagan, Jr. look-alike just racked up the worst one week ratings of her one year sojourn at MSNBC. For the first time ever, she went through an entire week without attracting a million viewers on any night. In fact, her total viewers for the week were a meager 4,147,000 people. That’s barely more than Bill O’Reilly nets in a single night.
Here are the sad specifics:
| Date | 25-54 Age Demo | Total Audience |
|---|---|---|
| Fri, Oct 16 | 283,000 | 937,000 |
| Thu, Oct 15 | 214,000 | 894,000 |
| Wed, Oct 14 | 227,000 | 787,000 |
| Tue, Oct 13 | 281,000 | 913,000 |
| Mon, Oct 12 | 158,000 | 616,000 |
At the rate she’s going, Rachel’s last viewer will turn over to Hannity sometime in 2012. Just in time to get a more realistic view of the mid-term elections.

We all know what this means, she will blurt out something stupid or totally insane like Sergeant Schultz to get some news coverage and hopefully some ratings. The she can get back on the Tonight Show to hopefully gain another ten or twelve viewers. I think Little Ralphy Madcow needs to get out of broadcasting and try truck driving school.
I would hope the truck driving school would reject her application, seeing as she's not bright enough to drive a truck. She couldn't even make any money in a truck stop.
Right? Her and washerwoman schmootz would starve in the truck stop lot entertainer biz, even as a tooferone!
Fast forward 10 years:
Glenn Beck..."and this week the United Nations begins the Global Rationing of American raised wheat..."GBTV network goes to commercial.
Rachel Maddow..."would like fries with that, or ketchup?" drive through window malfunctions, nearly decapitating the part time employee (R. Maddow).
Madcow does'nt need to worry about money, she's doing very well at MSNBC. At least for now, she makes several million per. However, I have seen what Madcow would be if she was actually good. On Russia Today... http://www.rt.com/ ...is "The Alyona Show". She does much of the same things from the same point of view as Madcow. Much of the snark is there, the condecending attitude is there too, but Alyona Minkovski... http://www.rt.com/about/on-air-talent/alyona-minkovski/ ...does it better then Madcow, & is sexy as hell. FoxNews hot, the kind of hot that makes 12 year old boys who look like Madcow think about. I would be shocked if this gal does'nt get scooped up for big money by someone else. I started watch RT to see if it was as much of a propoganda operation as I've heard, & it is. But it's easier to watch then the crap on MSNBC, it's further to the left, but it is easier to watch. I guess there is too many too comfortable in being well paid cablenews failures for so long that it does'nt matter at 30Rock. So I've been doing RT to see what the enemy is thinking, literally.
I think you put up the wrong pic for this story, that's a pic of Matthew Broderick.
Ha! I thought it was useless nephew that just got paroled.
Improve the content and people will come back. It's that snarky, snarly attitude that is killing Rachel's ratings. O'Reilly is snarky, snarly, however, he is fair and balanced in his approach and scolds Republicans as often as he does Democrats. Snarky, snarly Democrat-speak and Bush Bash can't hold ratings forever. It was bound to happen.
New facebook page: Telling Rachel Maddow he's full of crap!

Glad to find this site. I really couldn't believe I was the only one that thought Maddow is nothing less then a journalistic quack. So sad to see journalism fast becoming just another type of Democratic tool and views which depends on which party is signing the checks. What ever happen to just reporting the news and let the viewers come to their own decisions instead of pushing that Democratic view on the viewers? Guess that's why so many of us come to the internet for real honest upfront information and are turning off our TV where real honest open reporting is noway to be found. As for Maddow falling rating. Well most American can still see a journalistic quack whenever they see one. Her show couldn't be cancelled fast enough for me..
ed the yeller and the democratic dike are falling in the ratings. not surprised, when the yeller came on he said he was going to be a voice for middle class. seems he is only a voice for public option in healthcare, never talks about jobs, illegals, those losing heathcare because they lost a job. he is just another loud mouth liberal. i guess when your just 20% of the population you need to yell louder.
All politics aside, I have never understood what qualifies an unappealing, sneering, unimaginative Obamaslurp like Maddow to be an anchor. While libs wax ecstatic about what a "great" anchor she is, and that those who criticize her don't understand her, I've thought: Who wants to try to figure out what her talent is? She really is unappealing in many ways, and the viewers have recognized that increasingly, as evidenced by her anemic ratings.
And if there's anyone who could be less talented and more blindly positional than Maddow, it's that fat know-nothing Ed Schultz. Really, is there anyone out there who likes this moronic slob? His only function as far as I can tell is to attempt kissing Obama's rear on absolutelty every issue, no matter how weak Obama's performance has been. And talk about no talent--this guy looks (and sounds) like some reject from a bowling alley!
Ms. Maddow is living proof to the book of Revelations - "And in the last days they shall call that which is good evil and that which is evil good". I feel sorry for her because one day she will see the truth but it may be too late. It's a fact that people who bash other opinions, the way she does, is scared of those opinions. Let her ratings keep falling...perhaps the majority of the population are beginning to wake up and smell the coffee.
I saw her once, when she was talking about a spaguetti creature that supposedly was the creator of all things... I barffed a little in my mouth and decided this lady is not going to be part of my regular repertoire. She sounds angry and stupid in all the clips I have seen of her since then.
