STILL SINKING: MSNBC’s Primetime Lineup
Just Had Worst January EVER for Ratings
in Key Demo

Original Article

Things are going from bad to worse over at MSNBC. As the Gateway Pundit and others have reported, MSNBC suffered a massive ratings crash after the election and has still not recovered. The network’s primetime lineup just posted their worst January ever in the most important demographic. Things are so bad that the network cut Rachel Maddow’s pay and brought her back on the air five nights a week (she had been working only one). Having Rachel back on through the week does not appear to have helped. They’re still circling the drain. FOX News reports:

And some exec with MSNBC really thought that a solution for atrocious ratings was MORE Maddow? Seriously? That exec needs some other company to ruin. Maddow is like the sea of one-time A-listers who think we still value their opinions. We don't and I am not sure we ever did. Hey! I know. Maybe she and that exec can start a new network together. I truly hope they are given that chance - and soon.

Once people figure out that they’ve been lied to and scammed and on top of that told they are evil racists and reprobate “-phobes” of every heinous kind, and they have shaken off the hostage syndrome mental state, they kick the dirt and dung off their shoes and move on. I hope the ugly View is next into the dustbin.

What GREAT news! And it seems like the managers have adopted a strategy of trying to get their Leftist audience, that stopped listening to them after the election, back. To be honest, that's about the only strategy that,if it worked, might save them. No MAGA people or independants that have accepted Trump and what he is doing are going to tune in to MSNBC, no matter WHAT they do. MSNBC, for us, is a lost cause. So, the network's only hope is to pull in the Leftists that tuned them out. Thus getting RM in front of the camera because she is one of the Left's darlings. It isn't working. Why? Partly because the Leftists need reassurance that their cause is correct and moving forward. But all they can hear about is Trump and Trump's people. Also, MSNBC and all the propaganda media are paying an embarrassing price, including actual money, for their no-holds-barred attacks on Trump, that they gleefully SAID they would do to stop him from getting elected. It seems there ARE limits on the media's power and the People and the courts are taking them to task. That is putting a damped on how crazy the media can get. Thus all the embarrassing legal notices. In addition, the Deep State is being ripped out, so fake stories from these odious sources are getting scarce. Even Deep Staters still in place, for the moment, are pulling their heads into their shells to avoid being the next to get dismissed. Dems are screaming and rambling but without backup simply sound demented and dumb, which, they always have been. The hearing on Trump's nominees show the dems acting very badly and in many cases getting schooled by the nominee. So, even bringing back RM, what reassurance can she give the deeply shaken Leftists? There have been a few attempts at "Orange Man Bad" memes and narratives but they fall and shatter, sometimes even before they are fully launched. All these agents of the Left are pathetic. And the potential Leftists that might come back to MSNBC KNOW this and they know they cannot get the reassurance they desperately seek. So why bother watching? And the BEST news is, this is likely to continue and get worse for the Left. Trump continues to be ascendant and there are no signs of any competent regrouping on the Left. In fact, the Left seems determine to embarrass itself even more.

When your ratings are lower than Sponge Bob, it's time to throw in the towel. These people still haven't figured out that once you spring a leak and sink to the bottom, you can still sink through the mud to an even lower level. That's where they are now, competing with the clams for bottom space.

Some of this, of, course, is just human nature. After Hussein and FJB were elected (?), I didn't want to watch endless gushing stories about Michelle's toned arms and "Doctor" Jill's beauty, and intelligence, Obama's sharply creased trousers and FJB's unifying and wonderful, steady hand at the tiller. I just turned all the news off and even sometimes Fox. The rest of the MSMs death spiral is due to their lying, smearing and blatantly "fake news" about DJT and Republicans in general. They were anti-Christian and anti-Israel, thus angering a huge potential audience. People have come to recognize them as a lying tool of the Democrat Party and the left (I repeat myself) and completely untrustworthy to say the least.

Likely Dem primary voters in the upcoming mayoral election overwhelmingly say New York City is in crisis — with nearly half saying that if things get any worse, they may leave, a dismal new survey shows. The pessimism is broad and deep. Eighty percent of the respondents say they are worried about the current level of crime, while 75% believe their city is in a state of crisis, and 70% are “fearful and anxious” about its future, according to the poll by Democratic strategists with the Honan Strategy Group. (Photo) Nearly half, or 45%, of respondents say that if things get any worse, they “may be forced to move out” of Gotham.

During Sunday’s broadcast of CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said he was still at odds with President Donald Trump despite his election victory last November. The Kentucky Republican said he still harbored ill-will for what he had alleged was Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot. Partial transcript as follows: STAHL: How would you describe your relationship with President Trump? MCCONNELL: Well, we haven’t spoken for quite a while.

Anti-Trump leftists can’t stop spreading disinformation in a desperate bid to make their skewed worldview make sense. In Chicago last week, local Democratic leaders stoked panic over claims that ICE agents had shown up at a local elementary school. Chicago Public Schools Chief Education Officer Bogdana Chkoumbova claimed school staff had “kept ICE agents outside of the school” and affirmed that “we will not coordinate with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.” Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker piled on, blustering, “After a week of Republicans sowing fear and chaos, the first reports of raids in Chicago are at an elementary school.” One problem: There were no ICE agents at the school.

It’s galling to hear sleazy Democrats like Rep. Jamie Raskin and self-serving government bureaucrats whine about “due process” as Donald Trump sets about cleaning house in the out-of-control administrative state. Last time Trump was president, he and his appointees were sabotaged and obstructed by Machiavellian Deep-Staters who perverted concepts such as “due process” into protective shields around wrongdoers and turned them into weapons against their adversaries — that is, anyone trying to carry out the wishes of the democratically elected president. That won’t be happening again. It’s called democracy. The FBI raided Trump’s home and rummaged through his wife’s underwear drawer. They tried to lock him up and bankrupt him.

In a striking prediction, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested that Europe would eventually come under the influence of President Donald Trump. Putin’s comments reflect the rising concern among European elite leaders about the return of a strong America led by Trump, whose "America First" policies could alter the balance of power on the global stage. For conservatives, this prediction may validate Trump’s approach to international relations, which prioritized national sovereignty and held European allies accountable for their own defense and economic commitment, making it clear that Trump’s influence remains a formidable force in the world.

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he is suspending all U.S. aid to South Africa after the latter passed a law on land expropriation, which many fear could lead to Zimbabwe-style seizures of land owned by white citizens. The president made the surprise announcement on Truth Social, his own social media platform, on Sunday evening: (TRUTH) South Africa received $273 million from the U.S. in 2023, according to ForeignAssistance.gov. (Reuters puts the sum at $440 million.) That includes funding for the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). South Africa also has key trade deals with the U.S.

The Black Hawk helicopter that crashed into an American Airlines plane was alerted to the plane’s presence by air control twice, the first time at least two minutes before the deadly crash, according to a Washington Post report. Aviation experts reviewed Wednesday night’s radio transmissions, obtained by The Washington Post, and said that a soldier on the Black Hawk requested “visual separation” so that the helicopter crew could maintain a safe distance from the plane, which it could see. Both times, the request was approved by air traffic control. At 8:48 p.m., about 12 seconds after the second air traffic control tower alert, the helicopter and passenger plane collided.
