Politico: MSNBC Has Lowest Full-Day Rating in Nearly a Decade
Thursday, 05 Feb 2015 10:05 AM
By Cathy Burke

MSNBC's rating slide appears to be picking up steam, fueling worries at the liberal network about a shakeup in which "everything" is "on the table," reports say.

According to Politico, the network sunk to its lowest full-day rating in nearly a decade Tuesday, with a puny average of 55,000 viewers in the all-important 25-to-54 year-old demographic.

It was the lowest ratio since July 2005, Politico reports, citing Nielsen ratings provided by an industry source.

CNN had nearly three times as many viewers in the same demographic, while Fox News commanded nearly five times as many, Politico reports.

One of the poorest performers in the network's lineup was Ronan Farrow's show, which bowed last year; on Tuesday, it brought in just 11,000 viewers in the key demographic. The Wrap reports the show may face cancellation.

For the month of January, MSNBC's ratings were down 20 percent in total and 37 percent in the key demographic compared with the previous year. In primetime, total viewership was down 23 percent, while the demographic dropped by 39 percent, Politico reports.

The writing is on the wall, The Wrap reports.
Network President Phil Griffin is in the process of deciding what potential changes to make, including tinkering with primetime, The Wrap reports, citing multiple unnamed sources.

Poor-performer "All In" with Chris Hayes — now airing in a coveted timeslot for cable news, at 8 p.m. ET – might get nudged to a different time, though it's not clear who would replace Hayes if he gets yanked from 8 p.m., The Wrap reports.

In January, Hayes finished third behind Fox News’ "The O’Reilly Factor" and CNN’s "Anderson Cooper 360″ in both total viewers and the demo. Among MSNBC shows, he finished third, behind Rachel Maddow and Chris Matthews, The Wrap reports.

The ripple effect may be affecting Maddow’s 9 p.m. program too, The Wrap reports; in January, "The Rachel Maddow Show" was down 50 percent in the key demographic demo from last year.

"Ronan [Farrow] and Joy [Reid] — something has to change there," The Wrap quoted one source saying, adding many within MSNBC believe one of the two will see their shows canceled soon.

So, saying you were shot at when you were not is more important that saying tax cuts will not cause the budget to go from surplus to deficit. Right?

Politifact is owned and operated by the Tampa Bay Times....one of the most liberal newspapers in Florida. I am sure they are a bastion of objectivity.

Like faux "news" has ANY objectivity. LEMMING

Or like saying if you like your health insurance plan you can keep it? Right?


For all of these reasons, PolitiFact has named "If you like your health care plan, you can keep it," the Lie of the Year for 2013. Readers in a separate online poll overwhelmingly agreed with the choice. (PolitiFact first announced its selection on CNN's The Lead with Jake Tapper.)

Or like saying if you like your health insurance plan you can keep it? Right?Too funny, 2.6 million people could not keep their policy. 300 million people were affected by going from a surplus to a deficit. Typical conservative - your core value - deficit is now secondary to less than 1% of the population keeping the same health insurance. How quickly you abandon your core values. LEMMING

So after all of the smoke and mirrors, lies, deceit, misinformation, coercion, intimidation and harassment by this lawless Administration, there are still a few sycophants left like you to blindly carry the Obama torch.
Makes one wonder what would have to occur for you to abandon your support for this egregiously incompetent President. And you call ones on here Lemmings? There's not an objective bone in your body that I can tell.

They are all liars.

The business of the journalists is to destroy the truth; to lie outright; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread.

As long as we have 50 MILLION Americans on food stamps and the lowest labor participation rates in almost 40 years, any perceived economic recovery will be viewed as marginal, at least by any objective analysis. I can't imagine how critical you would be if a Republican had similar results.
Any gains in the US economy have occurred despite the policies of your hero, not because of it. If there has been any President in our history that has created more uncertainty in the marketplace and done more to hamper US businesses more than this amateur, then I have yet to witness it. This recovery has been one of the weakest recoveries in the last 70 years. Glad you are happy.

Not to mention the lowest number of new business start-ups since WW2-----I also read but don't have the link that fewer adults have jobs now than when Barack took office

The Big Lie: 5.6% Unemployment
by Jim Clifton
Here's something that many Americans -- including some of the smartest and most educated among us -- don't know: The official unemployment rate, as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor, is extremely misleading.

Right now, we're hearing much celebrating from the media, the White House and Wall Street about how unemployment is "down" to 5.6%. The cheerleading for this number is deafening. The media loves a comeback story, the White House wants to score political points and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.

None of them will tell you this: If you, a family member or anyone is unemployed and has subsequently given up on finding a job -- if you are so hopelessly out of work that you've stopped looking over the past four weeks -- the Department of Labor doesn't count you as unemployed. That's right. While you are as unemployed as one can possibly be, and tragically may never find work again, you are not counted in the figure we see relentlessly in the news -- currently 5.6%. Right now, as many as 30 million Americans are either out of work or severely underemployed. Trust me, the vast majority of them aren't throwing parties to toast "falling" unemployment.

There's another reason why the official rate is misleading. Say you're an out-of-work engineer or healthcare worker or construction worker or retail manager: If you perform a minimum of one hour of work in a week and are paid at least $20 -- maybe someone pays you to mow their lawn -- you're not officially counted as unemployed in the much-reported 5.6%. Few Americans know this.

Yet another figure of importance that doesn't get much press: those working part time but wanting full-time work. If you have a degree in chemistry or math and are working 10 hours part time because it is all you can find -- in other words, you are severely underemployed -- the government doesn't count you in the 5.6%. Few Americans know this.

There's no other way to say this. The official unemployment rate, which cruelly overlooks the suffering of the long-term and often permanently unemployed as well as the depressingly underemployed, amounts to a Big Lie.

And it's a lie that has consequences, because the great American dream is to have a good job, and in recent years, America has failed to deliver that dream more than it has at any time in recent memory. A good job is an individual's primary identity, their very self-worth, their dignity -- it establishes the relationship they have with their friends, community and country. When we fail to deliver a good job that fits a citizen's talents, training and experience, we are failing the great American dream.

Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck. Right now, the U.S. is delivering at a staggeringly low rate of 44%, which is the number of full-time jobs as a percent of the adult population, 18 years and older. We need that to be 50% and a bare minimum of 10 million new, good jobs to replenish America's middle class.

I hear all the time that "unemployment is greatly reduced, but the people aren't feeling it." When the media, talking heads, the White House and Wall Street start reporting the truth -- the percent of Americans in good jobs; jobs that are full time and real -- then we will quit wondering why Americans aren't "feeling" something that doesn't remotely reflect the reality in their lives. And we will also quit wondering what hollowed out the middle class.


Jim Clifton is Chairman and CEO at Gallup.
