Title: Maddow,just another MSNBC loooooser!!!!
Post by: BM OUT on April 24, 2009, 10:10:20 AM
MSNBC's Rachel Maddow suffers big audience loss
MSNBC show host Rachel Maddow has suffered some steep audience erosion in recent months, down more than 40 percent in viewership from her peak last fall during the election.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Maddow's audience has gone from a high of 1.9 million viewers in the fall to just over 1.1 million in March. That's a big drop.

Readers of this blog know I am just as troubled by Maddow's brand of ideologically driven partisan propaganda as I am by that of Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity on Fox. Maddow was at her worst last week, falsely minimizing the tea parties held across the country as "the fizzle in the drizzle" and mocking the participants.

You could hardly have a better example as to how an ideologue distorts an event or facts to fit her or his worldview -- the opposite of journalism.

Maddow was not much better than Hannity, whom I criticized here, for his rabble-rousing on behalf of the tea-bag protesters in Atlanta, whom he was supposed to be covering.

"I think Rachel is a rock star," Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC, told the Times.

That's one of the problems with MSNBC: It's looking for "rock stars" instead of journalists or analysts to host its shows. If a rock star's CD sales dropped by 44 percent, believe me, the record company would be worried.



Soon her ratings will look just like gutless Keiths.

If they want news and analysis, they'll go to a more or less trusted, credible (and let's face it, likable doesn't hurt either) source, which Maddow obviously is not, judging by her ratings.

This backs up what I've said all along.  People are compelled to watch train wrecks and disasters.  Olbermann points out the daily train wrecks at Fox News and and consequently Bill O and others there benefit from their viewers AND Olbermann viewers.  With Bill O, he's constantly getting highlighted for the moron he is not just on Olbermann but many other shows too, like Colbert.  All these viewers end up landing on his show to watch the disaster live.  This has to be true, where are all the approving Bill O'Rielly fans online?  Search him and it's a never ending laugh fest and criticism.  Not many Bill O is awesome pages out there.  so of course his ratings are higher, people love a good train wreck as these above ratings show.

Here is  a clue.RATINGS ARE WHAT COUNTS in television.YOU might think all those shows suck and are idiotic,but America disagrees.The same way I think Obama is a fucking jerkoff,America disagrees.So,you might love Olberman,Maddow and the rest of those no talents,but America doesnt agree,and guess what?Thats why MSNBC is a joke,they loose money and get ZERO ratings!!!You might hate Beck and think hes an idiot,but America disagrees, and despite your ego that makes you think you are the judge of whats real news or intelligent comentary,his ratings prove it everyday as he obliterated Olberman and Maddow.

Huh??!?  As I pointed out to "True Adonis," if people want entertainment, they tune in to Idol or their favorite sitcom or whatever strikes their fancy at any given moment.  If they want news, they'll tune into a source they like and trust.  Is that really so hard to figure out?  You're trying too hard to over-intellectualize this whole issue.

IT does.  Sadly you have no historical understanding of the founding principles of the United States and to which the Third Ammendment of the Constitution was derived from.  This being Washington`s strong conviction against torture towards other armies and towards the citizens as was common place for the British to do under colonial rule regarding unlawful quartering of soldiers and the taking of property under the threat of torture.

This is a fundamental American Ideal that laid the foundation of our Democracy and for you to turn a blind eye to it just proves that not only do you not know the history of your country, you have no interest in it and you have no interest in preserving the ideals set forth for our republic.

You do realize there is no such thing as a "suitcase Nuke" since I was able to show you that it is entirely fictitious and the stuff of fantasy.


I ask you, how else am I supposed to point out that the fabled "Suitcase Nuke" is fiction without posting researched facts that experts have disseminated in the hopes of educating the public.


Are you saying that I should obtain a Secret Clearance, go under cover in Moscow, infiltrate their defense department and obtain KGB files that state the whole thing was made up as a fright tactic and if I do not do that, nothing can be valid?

Are you really that stupid?  I realize you are not too terribly bright, but you cannot be THAT stupid.

Oh TA u took the bait...I knew u would because ur an idiot. First off the 3rd Amendment states

"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law" So I'm sorta lost. No mention of torture there.....

I know plenty about my country, to include the Revolutionary War. If fact I did my junior thesis in college on the counter insurgency campaign in the south, during that time. I looked at what the Brits did to try and stop Francis Marion. This was long before the movie with Gibson came out. The Brits tortured and massacred US forces and the Americans did the same.

You do realize there is no such thing as a "suitcase Nuke" since I was able to show you that it is entirely fictitious and the stuff of fantasy.


I ask you, how else am I supposed to point out that the fabled "Suitcase Nuke" is fiction without posting researched facts that experts have disseminated in the hopes of educating the public.


Are you saying that I should obtain a Secret Clearance, go under cover in Moscow, infiltrate their defense department and obtain KGB files that state the whole thing was made up as a fright tactic and if I do not do that, nothing can be valid?

Are you really that stupid?  I realize you are not too terribly bright, but you cannot be THAT stupid.



Since we're mincing words...a "secret" clearance wouldn't get u a donut...but anyway. I think we've proven beyond any doubt that while the nuke isnt the size of a shoe box, or single man portable, its very possible to smuggle in a very small nuke and detonate it. And as far as being "bright"...I don't need to cut and paste every article to make a point.

Oh TA u took the bait...I knew u would because ur an idiot. First off the 3rd Amendment states

"No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law" So I'm sorta lost. No mention of torture there.....

I know plenty about my country, to include the Revolutionary War. If fact I did my junior thesis in college on the counter insurgency campaign in the south, during that time. I looked at what the Brits did to try and stop Francis Marion. This was long before the movie with Gibson came out. The Brits tortured and massacred US forces and the Americans did the same. Washington might have been against such things, but men like Marion where not...its war. I'm sure Washington got over it.

As for preserving our republic...I do it every day. U sit on ur ass.
You need to read the Federalist papers, James Madison`s Convention notes and examine historical events which led to the creation of the 3rd amendment.  Torture being one of the influences.

The Constitution itself is simply a document of short laws with no explanation behind them.  This goes for all amendments.

You need to dig a little deeper.

You have a tendency to NEVER provide verifiable sources, facts or evidence so I never really am able to take you serious as I can NEVER verify what you believe to be true.  You see the problem there?  This is simply akin to "making stuff up" which I am inclined to believe YOU do and that YOU readily champion given your disdain for citing credible sources.

Again, did you expect me to infiltrate the KGB?

No really I don't....ur claiming to understand what Washington ment, while having zero grasp of military history. The very same history that drove every facet of this country, at that time. Either Washington ignored the insurgency/counter insurgency campaign happening in the south, or was ok with it as long as it proiduced results. Now, having ACTUALLY studied at the War Collegs and read what men such as Washington thought on this, I can say he was happy to bottle up a few Brits in the South, even if the means were pretty damm grusome. We're dealing with the same thing here....I could care less if we torture murderous scumbags, as long as the US remains safe. You made the arguement that Washington was against such acts, yet it was ok for Marion to do much the same, in order to keep the heat off his boys as he got organized up North.

UH TA I'm sorta lost..what "facts" do u need. I posted an article that said, while a backpack nuke is not a big threat, a small nuke smuggled into this country via a shipping container, is very possible. I can't take u seriously. U have no experience with any of this. I don't make anything up. What i can do is debate without a cut and paste war going. When u talk about Iraq or Afghanistan..u saw it all on TV. I was there.

The Davy Crockett consisted of an XM-388 projectile launched from either a 120-millimeter (XM-28) or 155-millimeter (XM-29) recoilless rifle (the 120 millimeter version is shown above). This weapon had a maximum range of 1.24 miles (120 millimeter) to 2.49 miles (155 millimeter). The XM-388 casing (including the warhead and fin assembly) weighed 76 pounds, was 30 inches long and measured 11 inches in diameter (at its widest point).


Stockpiled W54 warheads were test fired at the Nevada Test Site on July 7 and 17, 1962, during the Little Feller II and Little Feller I shots. In Little Feller II on July 7, the warhead was suspended on cables about three feet above the ground (yield was 22 tons). In Little Feller I on July 17, a Davy Crockett was fired from a stationary 155 millimeter launcher (in tandem with simulated battlefield manuevers under Operation IVY FLATS) and detonated about 20 feet above the ground at a distance of 9,357 feet (1.7 miles) from the launch point (yield was 18 tons). This test, the last atmospheric detonation at the Nevada Test Site, was observed by Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and presidential adviser General Maxwell D. Taylor. Footage of Operation IVY FLATS was declassified by the Department of Energy on December 22, 1997.

Camp at Cambridge, September 14, 1775.
Sir: You are intrusted with a Command of the utmost Consequence sequence to the Interest and Liberties of America. Upon your Conduct and Courage and that of the Officers and Soldiers detached on this Expedition, not only the Success of the present Enterprize, and your own Honour, but the Safety and Welfare of the Whole Continent may depend. I charge you, therefore, and the Officers and Soldiers, under your Command, as you value your own Safety and Honour and the Favour and Esteem of your Country, that you consider yourselves, as marching, not through an Enemy's Country; but that of our Friends and Brethren, for such the Inhabitants of Canada, and the Indian Nations have approved themselves in this unhappy Contest between Great Britain and America.

That you check by every Motive of Duty and Fear of Punishment, every Attempt to plunder or insult any of the Inhabitants of Canada. Should any American Soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any Canadian or Indian, in his Person or Property, I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary Punishment as the Enormity of the Crime may require. Should it extend to Death itself it will not be disproportional to its Guilt at such a Time and in such a Cause: But I hope and trust, that the brave Men who have voluntarily engaged in this Expedition, will be governed by far different Views. that Order, Discipline and Regularity of Behaviour will be as conspicuous, as their Courage and Valour.

I also give it in Charge to you to avoid all Disrespect to or Contempt of the Religion of the Country and its Ceremonies. Prudence, Policy, and a true Christian Spirit, will lead us to look with Compassion upon their Errors without insulting them. While we are contending for our own Liberty, we should be very cautious of violating the Rights of Conscience in others, ever considering that God alone is the Judge of the Hearts of Men, and to him only in this Case, they are answerable.

Upon the whole, Sir, I beg you to inculcate upon the Officers and Soldiers, the Necessity of preserving the strictest Order during their March through Canada; to represent to them the Shame, Disgrace and Ruin to themselves and Country, if they should by their Conduct, turn the Hearts of our Brethren in Canada against us. And on the other Hand, the Honours and Rewards which await them, if by their Prudence and good Behaviour, they conciliate the Affections of the Canadians and Indians, to the great Interests of America, and convert those favorable Dispositions they have shewn into a lasting Union and Affection. Thus wishing you and the Officers and Soldiers under your Command, all Honour, Safety and Success, I remain Sir, etc. -George Washington

Huh??!?  As I pointed out to "True Adonis," if people want entertainment, they tune in to Idol or their favorite sitcom or whatever strikes their fancy at any given moment.  If they want news, they'll tune into a source they like and trust.  Is that really so hard to figure out?  You're trying too hard to over-intellectualize this whole issue.

Um, oreilly and olbermann aren't news.
They're interpretation of the news.

if I want the NEWS, I watch CNN headline news, which delivers the facts and no commentary, with no pundits.

If I want a left-leaning interpretation of the day's events, I watch Olbermann.
For right-leaning interpretation, I watch OReilly or Hannity.

They're not news.  They're pundits who analyze the news.  It's ENTERTAINMENT based upon news.  Much like the Daily Show.

correct, they're commentary/opinion programs, not news programs.  The only problem I have is that seems to be the primary source for people to get their news from and these programs make up the bulk of the programming available.  People seem to be more interested in hearing the days events with inflammatory attachments lol.

I have to disagree.  Olbermann and Glen Beck do report the news, Olbermann just happens to be fact heavy whereas Beck and Oreilly tend not to champion evidence or fact.

That is the difference.  Olbermann reports akin to Edward R. Murrow.

Whatever...  ::)  Should I have phrased it as "news and analysis?"  Would that make you happier?  My point still remains--if people want mindless entertainment that's what they'll tune in to.  If they want news and analysis then they'll tune to a show that they trust and like.  The ratings tell the story.  And comparing a show like Idol to a show about news and current events is comparing apples and oranges and is pretty much pointless.

Sheesh, I swear you and TA will argue about anything.  You're just like my teenage kid...  "That's not the news, that's an interpretation of the news!"  "That can't be a "suitcase nuke" because it's slightly larger than a suitcase!"  ::)

You can state your case as matter-of-factly as you like but it's still nothing more than your opinion and when referring to the above pundits, your opinion would put you in the minority (look at their ratings).  Those who prefer, say, O'Reilly's or Beck's take on the news over Olbermann's or Maddow's could (and do) make just as compelling of a case for their guy.

I do because it promotes stupidity and allows them the credibility they do not deserve.  Also, I do so when they interject faith where it does not belong and when it hinders scientific,societal and technological progress.

They can believe whatever they want to believe, but I have a right to call them on their nonsense and credulity.  I can ridicule them freely as faith should NEVER get a free pass. The belief of something in the absence of evidence or in spite of the evidence should ALWAYS be called into question and ridiculed for what it is.

I listened to her quite a bit before she was on MSNBC, on her radio show.  Back when she first started on Air America, I actually thought and mentioned to my wife several times that she reminded me of a female Hannity.  One of the things I hate about Hannity is his extreme arrogance.  His nose is higher than anybody else out there and he speaks down to everyone like they're completely retarded.  I didn't like Maddow from the start because she had that same kind of arrogant superiority in the tone of everything she says.  As her popularity grew, I chalked it off to being just me, nobody else seemed to see that or were not as annoyed with it as I was.  Olbermann sure fell in love with her.

anybody on the left you're ok with or do you in general hate everyone deemed liberal, progressive or left leaning.  I'm just curious, not setting up or intending an attack.

You know I watch all the networks... MSNBC does swing things to the left, but they dont lie, and everything they say checks out factually...

FOX NEWS?  I just watched Karl Rove and Bill O have a conversation and it seemed like they were both in their own little world... saying things that are completely false... Karl Rove of all people? Why is he not in jail for outing CIA operatives?

Watch NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams or NewsHour With Jim Lehrer as your main course and your "straight up" news. Throw in a BBC World or World Focus for some international perspective. 

All that Hannity-Olbermann-O'Reilly-Beck-Schultz-Colbert Report-Maddow stuff? You watch that to get political issues served up just the way you like it. Add a dash of "pro torture" sauce, or a side order of "rip Bush a new one" to balance out the flavors of the main dish.

This is how you get your eat/entertainment groove on', brothers!  8)

BINGO.

Hannity and Rush and Olberman and maddow are NOT news.

They deliver their extremist interpretation and play "gotcha" with quotes the other side makes.

They're entertainment.  Not the news.  I think might be the biggest prob here.  Some folks on getbig think Hannity is telling the news as pure fact.  No, he's pointing out shit that makes dems look bad 98% of the time, and a token 2% chastising his own party for the appearance of fair and balanced.  If you think Hannity devotes 50% of this time to each side of an arguemnt, you suck to the nth degree.

I disagree.  News is simply the dissemination of information and the interpretation of facts.

You ever watch MSNBC on weekday mornings? Three hours of not-so-subtle right wing Obama bashing by the host and their rather permanent "guest."

On ocassion. I was laughing about the accuracy part. I realize that everyone makes mistakes, but that word seems to be the "M" in MSNBC.

One of my favorites happens to involve Rachel Maddow. They were talking about politics in Florida and whether or not Florida would go for Obama. Maddow starts her chirping, throwing in a claim that conservatives were "desperately" trying to gather signatures for the state's marriage amendment. She claim that they weren't anywhere close to the required signatures.

Apparently, she ran with a story that a FL politician used a last-minute technicality to void some of the signatures on the petiton. I thought that the amendment was done. But, a week later, I found out that, while the technicality was used, conservatives were able to rally and get enough signatures to get the amendment on the ballot.

The rest, now known as Amendment 2, is history.

Poor Benny Blankhead head in the sand as usual.

NBC News is the most biased news agency by far -- I don't think anybody's surprised by that. On the broadcast side -- that's primarily Brian Williams and "The Today Show" -- 54 percent of the stories about McCain were negative, 21 percent of Obama stories were negative.

On MSNBC, it's an absolute scandal: 73 percent of the stories on McCain negative, 14 percent negative toward Obama. MSNBC, the Obama network.

If the NBC logo gets anyone's little pink panties in a bunch, watch Couric or Gibson even though their newscasts don't measure up to BW, in my opinion. The traditional networks nightly news broadcasts are your safest bet for daily news free of distortion. Yep, the same nightly news your parents and grandparents watched.
