MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” finished the Week of March 27 as the most-watched show in cable news among the key demographic of adults age 25-54.
“The Rachel Maddow Show” averaged 2.70 million total viewers and 624,000 viewers among the demo last week, while O’Reilly averaged 2.69 million total viewers and 537,000 in the demo. Maddow has now beaten Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” for three straight weeks, as the MSNBC host continues to gain popularity.
Maddow has been on fire and has now topped O’Reilly every week since she revealed President Trump’s 2005 tax return on March 14. Typically, O’Reilly has the No. 1 show among all of cable news on a regular basis.
And people thought that Trump tax return show was a flop. Hah!
And lets face it if O'Reilly continues to lose advertisers at the current pace he might no longer be on cable news for Rachel to compete against.
Gee, wouldn't that be just a non-terrible thing to happen?
P.S. This is for all of those Maddow haters out there. Sucks to be you.
IS Fareed Zakaria selling out?

ReplyDeleteAt age 44 (and 6 days) Rachel is likely to be around for quite a while yet.
ReplyDeleteGreat news! Rachel Maddow is THE show I rarely miss on cable (MSNBC) Monday through Friday evenings.
ReplyDeleteShe's factual, honest, current and has a great sense of humor (albeit things aren't funny today w/Trump at the helm!).
Love the fact she is beating O'Reilly! Yea!!! You go girl and we'll keep watching!
Same here!
DeleteYou wanna know who it sucks to be?
ReplyDeleteMerrick Garland, that's who.
TV ratings are temporary.
Supreme Court Justice is for a very long time.
Any questions ?
I figure Rachel Maddow will be around a long time. Look at the tenure of O'Reilly, who I hope FINALLY goes down and off FOX (or any other channel) forever!
DeleteQuestions? 12:12PM?
DeleteNope. Answers.
Palins have illegitimate children, we have an illegitimate president, and Gorsuch is an illegitimate justice.
Political terms are temporary and there are more aging SCOTUS justices. It will be a lot harder for the few elected minority repubs to get a justice confirmed.
Takes civics or do not vote.
3:42 is having a bad day and wants to bitch at ANYBODY.
DeleteI see the point you make, 12:12. Ignore the pissy wet hen who just wants to fight @342.
Few elected minority repubs? Hunnie, they have a majority, and it's historical. Take civics yerself. Maybe take a chill pill too.

DeleteI don't have cable but if you go to You Tube and enter Rachel Maddow live you can watch her show and Lawerence and Brian Williams shows also. For some reason you can't always get Hard Ball and All In.
ReplyDeleteSorry Gryph I still can't stand her. Glad that her ratings make you happy though. We have to grab whatever rays of light we can find these days.
ReplyDeleteWhy, because she gets more pu**y than you?
DeleteHeather @ 1:56 pm. It's actually possible for Rachel to not be someone's cup of tea. Not everything is about you.
DeleteGood ole Rachel repeat everything 4 times Maddow. She is making good money off the left wing rubes though, no doubt about that.
DeleteDuring a recent interview with Democracy Now, Noam Chomsky demonstrated what everyone with a clear head and capacity for critical thought should already know. Just because you have a strong dislike for Donald Trump, doesn’t mean you latch on like a lunatic to every nonsensical Russia conspiracy theory because you’re still crying about Hillary’s loss.

How about facts, sunshine! The fact is he owestgem money. Fact is Tillerson owns oil rights there and wants sanctions lifted so he can cash in. Fact is Ivanka's BFF is Putin's mistress. Get your head out of the sand. Trump will sell us,out to enrich himself. In a heartbeat.
DeleteNo, Ivanka's BFF is Chelsea Clinton. Pix of them all over the place, if you don't hide that little head of yours in the sand you might see some.
DeleteYou get YOUR head out of your ass.
Drumof WILL sell us all out, at least you got one part right.
@ 2:16 AM Nice try but you are WRONG!!!!
DeleteChelsea and Ivanka are no longer BFF, since the primaries and election.
OT?

Lisa M is a piece of work. ZERO redeemable work qualities.
DeleteDid her Daddy cash out on some oil stocks in USA and Russia. Daughter guards the henhouse right? Gees where did Dave go?
DeleteRachel gives info that no one else does. Her intro is ALWAYS unique and educational, especially when you told us about some of the last actions of our wonderful Obama and what they meant and how important they were.
ReplyDeleteI record her and Chris and Lawrence. Rachel no doubt has an incredible staff BUT she is a REAL journalist!
CNN has so many yelling Rethugs I stopped them long ago. The hosts cannot maintain control of the program and it is impossible to hear the sentences when they yell over each other.
I like that Rachel has significantly informed and credible guests. Acceptable demeanor on her program or Lawrence or Chris' is not an issue.
Joy Reid has Pastor Barbour on frequently on the wwekends and I wish him the best. He is a real go-getter and so well-informed. I record her Saturdays and Sundays and her viewership has only grown for about the past 20 weeks or so.
Thank you Keith Olbermann for getting Rachel for us. Best move ever!
Great post. Those journalists are pure gold.
DeleteI remember hearing about Citizens United from Maddow AFTER it had passed, not before, and we watched her show every single night and DVR'd when we had to miss.
DeleteWhy no warning to your public, O Progressive Rachael?
I'd like Rachel more if she supported President Obama more and Bernie Sanders less.
ReplyDeleteSerious? Obama is no longer POTUS, and Sanders never had a fucking chance becoming 45.
Delete@1:54PM
DeleteThat's not what the majority of pools indicated NOW or THEN, but thanks for playing.
Donald Trump's Big Heart For Kids? Don't Believe It!
ReplyDelete... And as Digby called out, where is Trump's big fuck*ng heart when it comes to Syrian refugees, including woman and children from getting a safe haven in America?
One man said he lived in Greenwich, Connecticut, where Mr Trump has a home, and there were plans to relocate Syrian refugee families there.
He asked Mr Trump if he could "look children aged five, eight, ten, in the face and tell them they can't go to school here".
Mr Trump did not hesitate and said he could, which brought applause from the crowd.
He said: "I can look in their faces and say 'You can't come'. I'll look them in the face.
"Look, we don't know where their parents come from. Their parents should always stay with them, that's very important, but we don't know where the parents come from, they have no documentation. They may be Isil, they may be Isil-related. It could be a Trojan horse. If two per cent of those people are bad the trouble is unbelievable."
Mr Trump added: "I have a bigger heart than anybody in this room. What we do is take an area, or areas, of Syria and build safe zones."
Trump then went off on a tangent about cellphones.
Where the hell did they get the cellphones? Who the hell pays the bill? Who's paying the bill for the cellphone? And you see little things like that. Does that make any sense, OK? But you look at it and you say, "We have enough problems."
Trump's town hall (above video) took place in New Hampshire, February 8th, 2016. Donald made it seem like if Saudi Arabia paid us shakedown money, he might change his mind on rescuing the "Syrian children."
"We all have hearts he said, but show him the money.

Sure - he has a 'big' heart, but it is because of his diet! Suspect he is on medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol for an 'enlarged' heart and clogged arteries!
DeleteHe has the look of being very unhealthy and heart attack or stroke prone! Just how soon will one of those things occur, I wonder?
He needs to be on medicine for being masochistic. May be he can be a global poster boy. I once wanted to start WWIII but now I am at peace.
DeleteOffer free samples to Assad and North Korea leader. Lol.

The chemical bombing is real and was something that has been going on. A terrible situation.
ReplyDeleteDo you think Putin is taking advantage of the chemical killings and somehow told Trump to go ahead and attack Syria so Russia can act like their mad at Trump in hopes that the intelligence and America will stop thinking Russia and Trump were in cahoots. Putin is former KGB and I wouldn't put anythibg past him.
Now Trump looks like he's going against Russia's interests but it just a means to distract America.
There is no doubt that you are correct.
DeleteAgain.
ReplyDeleteI hate people.
Why can't we all just get along and fo great things in the world?
I'll give you a hint: RELIGION. *mic drop*
DeleteI hate people too as we as a species are inherently bad. Take solace in knowing that while the dinosaurs had a nearly 200 million year planetary dominance and sharks have been around for even longer, that we humans, due to our overpopulation that breeds disease, famine and war, won't even last as a species for another 1000 years.
DeleteEarth will be fine, other species will be fine and as a matter of fact many will thrive in our absence, but us, no way can we continue past another millennium, if that.
I'll give you a better hint 3:48: People.

Art imitates Life.
Shrug.
The epitome of hypocrisy: 100 people are gassed in a far away place and Trump wants to kick 10,000,000 Americans off Obama Care.
ReplyDeleteSo did drumpf care about the 1400+ Assaad supposedly gassed in Al-Ghouta in 2013?
DeleteMore importantly, did the press?(Answer: NO).
Anybody remember that gas attack? By name?
Didn't think so.
It is on NOW:

I just don't have time to watch any news but I do read what she has to say on her programs and she does seem to be on top of her game. It takes a full 5 hours each night just to get through the TiVo backup that we have going on so thank goodness for the internet and not having to dedicate entertainment time to watching news, but if I did have time to watch anyone she'd be my go to source.

ReplyDelete"Hannity wanted more, more, more. And Keane obliged."
I have found her to be less truthful in the past couple of years. She sure can carry the company line and promote war right now. That would not be so disagreeable if we were actually attacking & killing peoples who have done something to us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a load of BS.
