[jrthin]

type of wrestling format CNN has.

[Stuart G]

[Hekate]

[onlyadream]

Who concentrates on what’s important without being distracted with the BS.

[Upthevibe]

11. Excellent!

This is great news. I absolutely love Rachel!

[lunatica]

12. Thereby proving that this country has well informed

People who will go to the best source for information. Rachel has been prescient in knowing this.

[notdarkyet]

13. Should make media owners take notice that there is a huge market for liberal factual news.

Fox’s demographic is dying and Rachel gets those seeking straight hard hitting reports, younger viewers. We can write a epithet soon for faux. “You wasted more minds than meth, crack and heroin. You have been a scourge on our nation.”

[Takket]

14. i can see the steam shooting out of hannity's ears

and it is beautiful!!!!!!!!!

[Glimmer of Hope]

15. Her show is the only show I make an effort to watch everyday.

[Tbear]

16. It's Almost Time for Rachel!

And we settle in to watch. Very disappointed if she is not there.
Unless Joy Reid is on subbing for someone.
More Rachel, more Joy!

[maryallen]

17. Way to go, Rachel!

Love your program!

[FailureToCommunicate]

18. Rachel, with her team, throw us a life line to navigate these deadly waters of

the Trump and Republican swamp.

[JI7]

19. did Rachel Maddow take Today Off ?

i usually tune in at 9 and they are showing chris hayes .

i know she was supposed to take i think last week off or something but because of breaking news she did her show.

[politicaljunkie41910]

22. Richard Engel had a special "On Assignment" in her place. She gave the intro to his show thou.

[D23MIURG23]

20. What is wrong with Americans?

Why is "Big Bang Theory" so popular!?

[OnDoutside]

24. Because it's funny, and so too is Young Sheldon !

[Codeine]

29. Americans?

The program is globally popular, and at its creative height was genuinely funny. It has fantastic ratings all over the world, and has even spawned some international knockoffs. Back in 2015 or thereabouts it was the #1 rated television comedy on the planet.

Put simply, it’s childish, facile, and intellectually bankrupt to pretend that the people who are having BadWrongFun watching a television program of which you disapprove are exhibiting some sort of uniquely American behavior. Light comedy with broad goofy stereotypes isn’t “American”, it’s “human”.

I’m willing to stipulate that the show has gone downhill rapidly in the last few seasons, however. I gave up on it about a year ago. Every concept eventually gets milked dry.

[Honeycombe8]

21. She's impressive, all right. Glad that others think so, too.

She's smart and capable of digesting complex set of facts and explaining them to us simple folk in plain terms. Good show.

[2left4u]

23. Good Job MSNBC

I think this bodes well for us in 2018!

[John Fante]

25. Joy Reid would be near the top if she had her own primetime slot.

She pulls no punches on this farce administration, and that's what people want right now.

[Turbineguy]

26. What about the agregate numbers?

FOXNC 9652

MSNBC 9354

Of course Fox viewers will be tuning out permanently, especially if Paul Ryan gets his dream to get rid of Medicare.

[YOHABLO]

27. What's troubling to me is the 2, 3, and 4 spots! And that's a PROBLEM!!

[flibbitygiblets]

28. Exactly. Scammity, who thinks Obama's portrait is embedded with jizz? HE'S #2?

His audience must be so well-educated. Don't get me started on Fucker Snarlson.
