CNN is having some major ratings problems: Through March 17, CNN trailed not only Fox News and MSNBC but also its own sister network, Headline News, on nine out of 17 days. On one day, March 13, CNN even drew fewer 25-to-54 viewers than CNBC — the first time that’s happened since November 2007. And […]
Last night, Keith Olbermann took on the banks with a special comment. He went after this whole notion of “too big to fail” that we constantly here about parts of our financial industry. Maybe its time to change that. */ Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
Chuck Hagel was on Rachel Maddow last night and he went all out against the Republican Party, from putting a lot of blame for the economic mess on their shoulders, to defending Obama from Cheney’s recent comments. One thing that really stuck out to me was when Hagel was asked about Michael Steele and his […]
Richard Cohen has decided it’s time to defend Jim Cramer: What Jon Stewart needs is Jon Stewart. He could use a droll comedian to temper his ferocity and correct him when he’s wrong, as he was about the financial media, particularly CNBC and its excitable analyst Jim Cramer. They didn’t cover up the story of […]
I guess Cramer couldn’t handle his spanking yesterday and ended up pulling a no-show on Morning Joe today: As Michael Calderone notes, yesterday on Twitter, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough wrote that he would have the “exclusive Jim Cramer interview tomorrow morning to discuss tonight’s war with Jon Stewart.” But after the rough night, Scarborough wrote […]
There has been so much talk lately trying to blame the market on Obama. Bob has been keeping track of MSNBC’s usage of a graph tracking the market since election day. So I wonder if the media would mind using some other numbers? DJIA when Bush took office: 10781 DJIA when Bush left office: 7949 […]
Ed Rollins, former political director for Reagan and strategist for Huckabee, cuts through the BS and delivers some strong words for his party: The battle to be the “de facto leader” of this party is akin to the question of who wants to steer the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. Who represents the party […]
I’m getting a late start today, but just caught MSNBC talking about today’s “America Tea Party” that the wingnuts are throwing (during CPAC no less haha). Santelli his a “populist nerve”? Since when do we consider 20% populist? Does that mean our country is now 60% elitist? Really MSNBC – you got to do […]
Going from Obama’s speech to Jindal’s was a shock to the system. Watching the reaction meter on MSNBC, I wasn’t the only one who thought this. Even McCain voters weren’t impressed. Bobby Jindal is supposed to be the big star of the Republican party – their night in shining armor to deliver them from the […]
Following up from last night’s post, here is Olbermann’s coverage of crazy Michele Bachmann, and her constant lies about the stimulus. */ Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy
