MSNBC: #1 Cable News Network In Primetime For Two Days Post-Election

The reelection of President Barack Obama was certainly a gratifying victory for Democrats and supporters of a moderate path forward for America. However, it also seems to have been a victory for the left-of-center cable news network, MSNBC.

I haven't been watching for the last week because I have no cable hook up in my room. I did get to watch some election coverage and had to turn it to Faux after Obama was re-elected. Why doesn't the world wait for KKKarl?

I thought by me not watching, their ratings shouldn't have gone up.

And as for those faux news folks- maybe sometimes facts do matter.

will prompt fewer people to watch them. Surely some of their viewers are starting to catch on to the fact that Fox is wrong most of the time.

They could at least show re-runs of the Sunday morning news shows.

I watched Current during the returns Tuesday mostly. When I wanted to see something in HD, I turned to MSNBC.

I've started to watch Current from 7-9 pm, switch to MSNBC at 9 pm, back to Current at 10 pm, then MSNBC from 11 pm on.

as a hospice nurse. When bush won his election, I stopped listening to liberal radio for a week or two . Then I came back. I'm sure the fox news addicts will come back when they are through mourning.

I consider them left of all the rest of the M$M, but left of center never crossed my mind.
