In important segment and IN TOTAL VIEWERS!

Meanwhile, we hear another story will hit the wires later today or tomorrow morning about MSNBC's ratings gains. Insiders tells us MSNBC is poised to beat CNN for the month of March in the A25-54 demo and, for the first time ever, in Total Viewers.

1. MSNBC should really aim to be a liberal version of Fox News
Even if Fox continues to have higher ratings, MSNBC could very well displace CNN for the #2 slot.

Weren't they talking about getting Ed Schultz a night show?

8. I don't think liberals want a liberal version of Faux news
they just want actual news.

9. don't flame me but i think msnbc is already there.
i love watching rachel and keith but they do tend to lurch the news toward the left. npr is probably the only place to get the news.

6. True. I travel a lot for work and many hotels do not have it in their cable line-ups
Even when they have HBO or other premium channels. They ALL have CNN and the Fake News, however.

And last I heard, my brother in NY could not get MSNBC through Verizon Fios, no matter which package he had.

5. Fox
I wonder what O'Reilly will say with MSNBC ahead of CNN.This means some are watching MSNBC.

Now I wish MSNC could trade Buchanen to CNN and MSNBC could get Begala or Carville.While we can still have Issues at times with them
I would rather listen to them provide anaylis than Buchanen.

And you do know when O'Reilly blasts NBC It IS really directed at MSNBC and Keith.

CNN efforts to be Fox News JR Is failing.

10. Regarding Fox News Jr. - I'd rather watch Glenn Beck than Anderson Cooper
It's sort of like a choice between watching a demented circus clown or watching paint dry.

7. I think..
Its because they lost some wing nut viewers when Beck went to Fox. Which means they will hold on to Dobbs long as possible.
