1. No i saw it on twitter all day.

All the cable channels went down i heard.

2. More and more can't afford cable.

Meanwhile, remember that focks noise bases much of its ratings on bars & restaurants who got tvs from them & who contractually must keep the tvs on focks noise.

3. MSNBC needs to check-in

Is it more about MSNBC than Rachel? Dr. Maddows is a highly intelligent Rhodes scholar and can hold her own anywhere she goes. Lawrence and Ed are OK. I stopped watching Chris Mathews.

4. hmm

I can do something about this.

I will say no more, but i think you can guess.

5. Not to mention,

we had to pay extra for MSNBC while Faux came with basic cable.

6. I download her audio podcast -- the full show, no video -- every night.

It is great. It is only 10 Mbytes. And it is the entire program, about 44 minutes. No commercials.

Rachel's is the only MSNBC program that has a daily audio podcast.

Point your podcast aggregator to "Rachel Maddow" and you will find it. Highly recommended. I have been hearing her every week night for months. There is no cable or broadband INet here. But 10 MB per night is easily within my cell phone data limits.

And Rachel still rules. Love her madly.

12. I, too do this. I've been doing it from the very beginning.

I was living overseas, so it was the only way to get her, and I just kept doing it. I'm back overseas, and she is my sanity.

7. they will go up one the presidential primary season starts up again

maybe early next year when candidates start visiting early voting states

8. Politicususa makes stuff up. Often.

A few times I've caught them claiming a linked article says something amazing, when the linked article says nothing of the sort. When I call out the BS in a comment, they deny it then ultimately hide my comment.

This particular claim about Maddow might be true; but it might have been invented out of nothing.

9. All this about "ratings" has always been bullshit.

Nowadays, which magazine sells more?

The National Enquirer or US News And World Report?

And yes, I do compare Rachel to Sean "Chickenshit" Hannity that way.

Rachel is open, honest and factual.

Hannity is sensationalistic, deceptive, and jingoistic.

[WhiteAndNerdy]

10. There's an article claiming this once every couple of months.

I think it's probably bullshit and wishful thinking. I know my RWNJ father gleefully lets me know every time he sees another article on the subject.

11. I did my part as a Nielsen rater!

I was a Nielsen rater a couple of months ago and watched Rachel (and Chris and Lawrence) every single night! I even watched the re-runs in the middle of the night.

I have been watching less MSNBC because every time they use clips from Limbaugh or other right wing jerks, I change the channel. Lots of times, I don't go back. But I didn't do it during the ratings week.
