Rachel Maddow's Ratings Beat KO Tuesday

[RamboLiberal]

25-54 Demo Rachel had 534,000 2nd in time period while KO had 509,000 also 2nd. To be fair in the 10PM repeat KO had 412,000 while Rachel had 254,000 at 11PM.

So much for liberal talk doesn't sell!

Wow - bet MSNBC execs are wondering why they didn't put her on sooner.

1. Her show is outstanding! Good ratings, I guess she'll be

around for a while.

2. This will have a big effect.

Other networks will be scrambling to put real journalists on the air.

3. I've always like Rachel for her

more serious approach for the facts with evidence to support peppered with a dash of sarcasm. No surprise to me that she is a leader in her field.

4. Nice and did you see Beck's ratings? CNN must be using him for a tax writeoff.

[RamboLiberal]

10. Beck 134,000 & 211,000 Dead Last

:rofl:

13. Why do they keep this prick on?

He sucks out loud.

[AlCzervik]

14. he's not bringing in many viewers so i cannot imagine the ad revenue during his show

is a bog income stream for CNN, his ratings have been in Tucker Carlson territory for a long time now.

Fuck it, cut the cord.

17. Ron Reagan Jr. would do a good show

imho.

:hi:

[AlCzervik]

18. oh yeah, good suggestion!

:toast: :hi:

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. That would be a helluva lineup. KO, Rachel, & Ron Reagan to follow.

Of course, I'd love to see Ron team up with Phil Donahue, but I'm old so Phil may be past his sell by date.

5. I've been extremely impressed with Rachel. I expected great things

from her but she has delivered way beyond my expectations. She has had great guests, covered great stories and seems so comfortable in her new role that you would think she's been doing her own prime time show for years.

[gateley]

6. She has been outstanding - I'm so pleased her ratings are high! nt

[nickyt]

7. What great news for her! And surely Mr. K rejoices with her!!

As do we!

[anniebelle]

8. She's just the BEST! Love that gal.

She can out think anybody they put in front of her. Love to see her interview Caribou Barbie.

[RamboLiberal]

11. Caribou would leave the studio and wonder where the shiv

came from.

[YOY]

9. Could it be that having a slight "liberal" edge could be a money maker for them?

Or maybe the liberal edge is just a bit of real damn journalism as opposed to the milksops over at Fox and their faux outrage at everyone who opposes the mighty Republican'ts.

[Lex]

12. Her show is excellent!

:thumbsup:

[Frisbee]

15. GE is probably shitting their pants...

wondering why they ever put her on.

[foxfeet]

16. Watched her for the first time

and loved it. Great sense of humor, hits the right tone on the right issues. I'll be among her fans.

[shaniqua6392]

19. I am so happy for her!!

I hope MSNBC gets the message.
