Remember that CNN asnd Fox are on almost every cable system while MSNBC is not....

Just one day, but you can get an idea.

Both Ed and Rachel are beating out CNN.

1. rachel is the best of all the msnbc personalities

i`m partial to big ed cause i like his populism.

since i`ve had dish for ten years i never thought about the fact that msnbc is`t on a lot of cable packages.

2. Shep is not bad.

3. I can't believe that many people watch the Fox "News" propaganda.

CNN is almost as bad. We don't get MSNBC, but I still remember how bad Matthews was, a slobbering loudmouth fool.

4. So, O'Reilly's the only one who gets above...

infomercial ratings? And even he doesn't come close to the people who fall asleep during SpongeBob or wrestling.

And this is what is called the "Mainstream Media?"

5. Yep, Hannah Montana wipes the floor with O'Reilly....

He get's about 3 million on a good day. That is still far less than any netwrok news show.
