Mueller ratings?

Post by _subgenius »


MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, head to head with Sean Hannity at 9pm, had an audience of 2.5 million on Monday that was 19% below her Nielsen average this year, AP reports. Viewers slipped to 2.3 million on Tuesday.

The other side: Hannity saw his audience soar Monday to 4 million, a 32% increase from his average. It fell to 3.57 million on Tuesday. Fox's Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham topped their averages both days, while audiences were down for MSNBC and CNN.


So, should Rachel have interrupted her Tennessee fishing trip for this?
and are these ratings indicative of how the tv news watching public perceive the Mueller report?

Excellent point, Subgenius! Viewers all over America are jumping on the No Collusion, Total Exoneration, Enemies Are Going to Pay for It bandwagon. Soon all America and the world will be tuned to Fox as the executive branch vendetta begins. This Trumpian wave will rewrite the history books with all the best words and the ratings will be the biggest ever in the history of the galaxy!!!

At least until we find that the Mueller team was parsing the word criminal. There were shenanigans, but were they criminal with sufficient criminal intent?

In the meantime, Trump is proposing everyone involved with the investigation be executed. At least, according to his press secretary.

Maddow never goes head to head with Hannity because her market is split with CNN. So if she is fighting him for ratings then she's having to do it with one arm behind her back.

I'll admit to watching FOX News over this as well. It was too entertaining to pass up watching Hannity froth at the mouth.

Frothing at the mouth is as close as Hannity will ever come to allowing himself to be water boarded, as he once bragged he'd do.

ratings sank for both CNN and Maddow...so no arms involved (a.k.a. idiot).

And your pet theory is ... what?

That Democrats who watched those shows for so long have suddenly flipped to FOX News because Barr's synopsis of the Mueller report finally made them see the light?

There was no theory proposed...the OP presented a fact and asked a question.

But please, keep telling everyone what the report must really mean even though you have literally read none of it. The wake of your 24 month tirade of "Mueller is gonna nail him" is only compounding liberal embarrassment...perhaps it is time for actual policy to frame the Democrat strategy for 2020?

Well no crap there was no theory proposed because that would require actual thinking. Your posts are typically void of any evidence of that.

Who is telling people what the report really means? Oh yeah, Barr, that's who. And Hannity, and Ingraham, and Carlson, and all the idiots you follow. Meanwhile everyone on the left is saying precisely what you just said, "You haven't even read it yet." Well no crap Sherlock. That's the point. So who is jumping to conclusions here? Obviously FOX News is which is why their ratings just spiked.

Feel free to quote me or any CNN/MSNBC host saying "Mueller is gonna nail him" and then go ahead and demonstrate how he hasn't actually nailed him in the report you literally just admitted having no knowledge of its contents.

It really is cute watching you try to pretend to stick it to Liberals by trying to be as rational as they are when in reality you're just being as irrational and stupid as the Right Wing media is in declaring Trump "Exonerated" based on a document that quite literally says it doesn't exonerate him.

It is also cute watching you keep asserting Democrats have no plan, no ideas, no strategy, etc when you just threw out some anecdote with no actual idea or thought process explaining why it is what it is. This is very much the same way Republicans handle all issues like Healthcare. More than a decade now and you still have no freaking idea how to replace Obamacare and you haven't even tried, because like Trump said, "Turns out this healthcare stuff is hard." They are no where closer to figuring it out today than they were a decade ago, but let's just attack what the Left has accomplished anyway. That's what Republicans do. They have no ideas other than tax cuts for the rich.

Yeah, guys like you have never presumed anything on this matter.

Yeah, how anyone could think you believed Mueller was gonna get Trump is craaazy… how silly of me. And yeah, no new indictments is just so ambiguous, so unclear, so hazy...it could mean anything.

you mock me for "literally just admitted having no knowledge of its contents" - and point out "Barr"....then you state - "based on a document that quite literally says it doesn't"..a document you have not read, but you claim to know what it "Literally" says.....yeah, you got all kinds of credibility and loads of that smartsy smartsy stuff.
