Fueled by the surge behind prime time hosts Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, MSNBC has jumped to second in the prime time cable news ratings. Although CNN and MSNBC each have about half of the audience share of Fox News, March will be the first month ever that CNN has finished third in the ratings.

    Still getting thier @sses kicked by Fox. The gay and lesbian duo of Olbermann and Maddow will never come close to Fox.

      As long as all the ignorant rednecks in America get together and watch the same network it will be imposible for a single American owned network to displace FOX as number 1.

        There is the foolish liberal rant. Anything not liberal is lies and hate speech. You foolish people need to look in a mirror when you say those things.

          "Check out this "butch" picture of Maddow:"

          LMAO...j/0, I remember it was just a little over two years ago, that you women-hating, racist and homophobic cons were all shrieking that America would never accept blacks (Obama) gays (Frank) and "SF liberals" (Pelosi) running their country. Your panties must be knotted up several times over today-- since your lame predictions have been shot down over and over again. ;-P

            So jmopionion - you appear to be someone who is fond of ridiculing homosexuals.

            Since Rush LImbaugh is a homosexual - does this mean you don't like him either?

            Sorry if I ruined your listening habits.

                That's interesting. Because you share quite a bit of his vision - at least from what I've observed.

                If you don't like Rush Limbaugh - maybe it's time to examine your own closely held bigotry.

                eh?

                  I do not have anything against gays. You guys are the hate mongers who foam at the mouth at anyone who disagrees with your views.

                ROTFLMAO
                Let me see how many wives Limbaugh has had. Is it three or four now. Foolish Goppy buying into such a ludicrous lie.

                That story is one fabrication after another of a source here and a source there when to validate a piece of news there has to be two or more independent source for each piece. Then there is the concept that everybody that works using a different name from the one they were born with is a closet homosexual. That makes the majority of radio, TV, Play and Movie people homosexuals. The vast majority of them do it at one time or another.

                Currently there is a talk show host using his given name while at the same time being a disk jockey on another station with a different name. Must be a homosexual even though he is happily married with a couple of kids.

                Silly Goppy falling for that silly story.

                Exactly, Bucotch.

                These talking heads don't do much for me.

                I've watched O'Reilly on occasion and I was able to deduce that he's a blowhard with an agenda - an agenda to create 'buzz' around his show - without a care for how it divides our nation.

                I've listened to Rush LImbaugh and quickly deduced that he dishes up innuendo, lies, and a profound cynicism - fully cooked with hot air from a self promoting gas-bag.

                I've watched Olberman on occasion. I quickly deduced that, while he's an effective spokesperson to ferret out the hypocrisy of the right - using facts and analysis - I am not fond of that kind of 'angry delivery'.

                And I've watched Rachel Maddow - of all of them - she is - by far - the best. She provides a factual delivery - without the anger of the 'guys'. She's more clever than the 'guys'. And she is cute and very fun to watch.

                Yes, I know she's gay - but unlike most Modern Republicans, I believe a homosexual is just one more color in our nation's pallet of diversity - one of our strengths.

              I personally can't stand Maddow and Olbermann. I don't care about their political leanings, they both just come off so smug and arrogant. Not to mention Maddow has tried to make herself a carbon copy of Olbermann, even down to the same haircut.

                Face it, cloudy. You don't like it that they get paid millions to expose GOP lies, distortions and falsehoods each night and that the GOP constantly gives them material to work with. And I love that you cons are to the point where you realize you'll never have a significant number of minorities in the GOP and so you feel you might as well open the floodgates and let your true hateful, bigoted, heartless true selves show. ;-P

                    cloudy, please don't try to deny you're a con or a bigot (you insult everyone's intelligence) and stop wasting your time trying to convince anyone you're impartial or unbiased. Your activity here reveals the truth. If you seriously intended to defend what you wrote, you would have responded with all the quotes where you labeled irritating blowhards like O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, and Coulter (to name several) "smug and arrogant" and then qualified your opinions by saying their politics had nothing to do with it. You *do* have examples where you've done this? Right, cloudy? ;-P

                      LMAO.....

                      "Come on libs, context couldn't possibly help those comments. The man has had a history of racist comments being made. Theres no reason to make excuses for him, instead of defending him, hold him accountable. The bad thing is he knows what he says is controversial, and thats exactly why he says it."
                      http://www.propeller.com/story/2009/03/09/top-10-l...
                      -Me agreeing that Rush is obviously racist.

                      "You know despite how much the left hates him, Rush is a smart guy. Maybe not when it comes to politics or anything meaningful, but he knows how to run his business."
                      - I know you're going to try and spin this as me somehow supporting Rush.

                      "In a national election, no chance. But I think, for some reason that is beyond me, that she will do very well in the Republican primary. As this thread says, shes been chosen by the media to be the Republican nominee in 2012, and that, IMO, is a horrible thing for the GOP."
                      -About Sarah Palin. I've made some other comments about how shes unfit to run for president if you want to go look for them.

                      Other than the fact that I've watched Olbermann more times than all the people you just listed combined (which would amount to 0) I have posted things against them. Not to mention my favorite two news shows are the Daily Show and Colbert Report. Just because I don't go around here throwing around insults and cheesy nicknames doesn't mean I support the people.

                      But hey, you keep on believing what you want. If it makes you feel better to imagine me as something I'm not, go for it. It won't make a difference to me what your opinion of me is.

                      Just recall, DaneL from another thread here on Propeller.com, according to the Nielsen Ratings, BillO the Clown's show is being hammered by Spongebob Squarepants. If you are losing to a cartoon character, imagine how animated BillO must be! *Pun intended*

                        they should celebrate being number 2 great job. What does it say about the show that FOX beats them all 3 to 1 at 8,9 and 10pm hell even Beck is killing their numbers with a 5pm show. Olberman is fat blow hard, Maddow is relatively amusing and kinda of cute, if she was going to for the butch look she nailed it.

                            Really great show the other night with Keith Overwhelmed and Jeanine Garofablowme. I guess for MSNBC, one loser isn't enough, they have to roll out another one and make it totally riduculous. I'm very worried about the country if this is what is passing as journalism or news these days. I encourage everuone who reads this and is outraged at MSNBC to boycott GE and any sponsor of MSNBC.

                            So, let me get this straight. According to Garofablowme, everyone at the tea parties were racist. Hmm. Interesting logic. It wasn't that people are fed up with the government (which includes both Repubulican idiots and Democrat morons) wasting OUR MONEY hand over fist. Nooooo, it's totally because Obama is black. Yea, that's it. You're on to us Garofablowme. You're so smart. by this logic, everyone who went to a anti-war rally wasn't really against the war, they were just against Bush because he was from Texas.

                            Oh, and nice way to challenge her thinking too Overwhelmed. You sit there and chuckle as if you are rubbing one off as she's talking. You're a total failure and a disgrace to news. And you wonder why Fox is kicking your sorry asses all over the place.
