MSNBC Daytime is totally worthless!

[Joanne98]

Sports and entertainment. Lady GaGa. Every stupid little story they can find. No wonder we're losing the election.

Morning Joke! Nobody's told them that they are the two most boring self centered people on Earth!

Tod and Savannah working against us and sucking up to the right!

Andrea Mitchell the "Complain about Iran everyday report"

The rest of the hosts. "Hi we're silly!"

If the MSNBC signal went dead from 6 to 4 nobody would even notice!

If I worked on the nightime shows I'd be pissed about having to pull all the dead worthless weight!

I wouldn't be surprised if KO and Maddow were planning a move after the election. As in AWAY!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

1. Hey, they make up for it on the weekends!!

:rofl:

[Joanne98]

5. Oh yeah LOCK UP!

[Hassin Bin Sober]

9. On Saturdays sometimes I'm forced to turn to Fox just for the crawl while working out on the stairs.

I just never use the CNN crawl - don't know why but I don't. At least with FOX you get the added potential entertainment value.

My boyfriend will walk in and ask me if FOX is part of the heart stress/exercise regimen or am I trying for a stroke.

[MattyGroves]

18. Fox News and CNN ran their regular programming through Labor Day

MSNBC ran some generic news program through 11 a.m. and then went on a programming jag of Lock Up through the rest of the day.

If anyone wants to know why MSNBC is considered non-basic cable by some cable companies I think this explains it.

[librechik]

2. yup--useless until Ratigan shows up--I like him

though I know there are legions of Ratigan haters here, don't get that hatred thingie...

[Joanne98]

6. At least he's interesting.

[JamesA1102]

21. Maybe because he spouts more GOP propaganda

than Scarborough.

[librechik]

29. sorry. he's my guy since he DESTROYED that MF Judd Gregg one day

Don't get the GOP propaganda slur--there are conservative Dems you know...

[JamesA1102]

31. Not a slur but the truth.

You should have caught his show today with saying investment in infrasturcture is unneeded.

[slackmaster]

3. MSNBC is in the business of selling advertising time

They'll air whatever they think will draw the largest audience.

If the MSNBC signal went dead from 6 to 4 nobody would even notice!

Most people who have daytime jobs certainly wouldn't. But we're not the target audience for those hours.

[mike_c]

4. turn that squaking box OFF!

It's all worthless. Entertaining perhaps, but there are LOTS better ways to entertain yourself other than vegging out in front of the stoopid toob! Utter waste of time, resources, and intelligence!

[KurtNYC]

22. +1 -- it is not MSNBC that is worthless, it is ALL of it

dis-info-tainment

[tularetom]

7. You're including Matthews in the list of shows you like?

It appears from the posts I've read here that he has recently begun attacking republicans again, but I can barely tolerate that fool even when I agree with him. There's just something about his style or personality that makes me want to smack him.

Ed Schultz, Olbermann, and Rachel. That's about all I can handle on MSNBC.

[Lost4words]

8. can you receive LINK TV? Democracy Now is very informative

with one of the most knowledgeable hosts, my Hero Amy Goodman! Also on radio!

If you can I recommend it. The M$M are tools.

[Subdivisions]

12. Please, tell me all you know about Democracy Now. n/t

[Lost4words]

40. you have an internet connection go to,

http://www.democracynow.org/


it lists TV stations that air DN, you can view DN over the net or download to your PDA, you will hear in depth coverage and interviews you will NEVER see on M$M.

DN is on Link TV also a great source for information. It has a long liberal history. I dont have the time to tell all but much info is on their site.

Its carried on Dish and ch 375 on Direct TV Satellite and others. I strongly urge you to find it and become a regular, its the ONLY news show where I feel I have learned something, it is not geared to 5th graders, I get great cerebral satisfaction from it, you will too.

Amy Goodman is the host, an accomplished author and speaker, she delivers a no nonsense approach to the issues of the day and historical events as well.

Like Democratic Underground, Democracy Now virtually save my sanity in the early 2000s it showed me there were many more like myself I was not alone in the sea of insanity.

Pacifica, Link TV, and Democracy Now are viewer supported. Let me know what you think, and thanks for your interest.

32. You can also get it directly to a TV via roku.com via mediafly. n/t

[Subdivisions]

10. They're 30 minutes into a bash-Dems and rethugs-are-going-to-win marathon. n/t

[Joanne98]

17. They've been doing that ALL DAY!

[ThomWV]

11. You left out Tweety, about as worthless a hunk of shit as could be found on TV

[AlinPA]

15. I could never figure out why MSNBC keeps that loudmouthed slobbering fool.

Ratings must be pretty bad to keep that idiot on.

[spanone]

13. k&r...been saying that for years....m$nbc tries to have it everyway

[Warpy]

14. They know their daytime audience

is mostly Generation Suck* retirees and likely to be conservobots.

It's only when the younger folks get off work on the east coast that the programming improves.

The whole picture is that the station is suffering from multiple personality disorder.

*The generation between the WWII/Depression generation and the Boomers, too old for the 60s and too young for WWII and Korea. They bought into the 50s and then had the rules changed (mostly due to their GOP voting history) and life has mostly sucked for them. They realize they've been had but can't quite connect the dots.

[Swamp Rat]

16. Totally worthless... as bad as FUX Noise and CNN

:thumbsup:

Even worse, it turns into the Prison Channel on weekends.

If I could block the channel for selected hours and days, I would.

The ONLY reason I watch MSNBC is because of Countdown, the Rachel Maddow Show, and Big Ed's show.

I am interested to see if "The Final Word" will be good.

[Ramulux]

19. Until Ratigan at 1

the network is kind of a joke. The only time I have ever watched during that time period was when Cenk was hosting the 12:00 show.

[JamesA1102]

20. RATigan is a troll

Who let's Dick Armey and tea baggers on the air to spout their propaganda while he never challenges their BS.

24. If I ever have to see another image of VAN DER SLOOT I'll smash the tube! nt

[RKP5637]

25. Agree!!! "MSNBC Daytime is totally worthless!" n/t

[bigwillq]

26. So don't watch.

Or turn off the TV.
Or start your own station.

[DainBramaged]

28. Wow, like reality just hit you?

If the MSNBC signal went dead from 6 to 4 nobody would even notice!

265,000 TOTAL viewers every day during the day.

Sickening

[otohara]

30. I Miss David Shuster

can not stomach Chris Jansing - so I tune in for moments at a time during the day

[RKP5637]

33. Yeah, same here, I liked David Shuster. n/t

[brooklynite]

34. and Maddow and Olbermann would want to leave because...

They'd prefer to take the financial hit of canceling their contracts?

They'd like to give up their million plus audiences in order to...what exactly?

[Stinky The Clown]

35. "No wonder we're losing the election."

Uh ..... yeah. That's it. That's why.

:eyes:





Here's a clue: MSNBC is WORSE THAN FOX. I don't care how many liberal hosts they have one. Their agenda is clear and it serves the interests of GE, not Liberals.

[Lesleymo]

36. Where oh where is the liberal media???

I hear (from my right wing friends) they're everywhere, controlling everything. But I can't find them anywhere! Thank God for Comedy Central. Stewart and Colbert help me stay sane.

[Enthusiast]

37. K&R

You are right on.

[oldlib]

38. With the power

created by Oberman and Maddow I would think that MSNBC would seize that initiative and go for better daytime TV coverage. Their network is a complete wasteland, at present, during the day and on weekends.

[bushisanidiot]

39. MSNBC is full of right wing and far left pundits. No one is supportive

of President Obama even though he is leading a center-left nation as a center-left president.

I guess if there isn't controversy, then their ratings flop.

[democracy1st]

41. GE owns NBC getting the liberal shows on during the pm is the best we can do!

[Lost4words]

46. to hell with corporate controlled news puppets like NBC CBS ABC CNN M$NBC

CNBC FOX et al

42. Gotta check out Democracy Now @ democracynow.ORG

your brain will love the stimuli, and to hear what the M$M will never take the time with their droll infotainment pseudo news shows.
:kick:

you may not agree sometimes, but its chock full of info. Great authors, Naomi Klein one of my favorites!
