"MSNBC BEATS CNN IN PRIMETIME IN AUGUST AMONG VIEWERS 25-54

MSNBC #1 News Network Among Younger Viewers, 18-34, in Primetime

“Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” “The Rachel Maddow Show,” “Hardball with Chris Matthews” Beat CNN in Demo
NEW YORK – Sept. 1, 2009 – MSNBC beat CNN in primetime last month in the key Adults 25-54 demographic, according to data from Nielsen Media Research. MSNBC was also the #1 ranked news network among younger viewers, 18-34, in August. MSNBC’s “Countdown with Keith Olbermann,” “The Rachel Maddow Show” and “Hardball with Chris Matthews” all out-rated CNN among A25-54 in August. Following are MSNBC ratings highlights for August:"

CNN needs to retire this guy - Or put him on in the AM when his viewers are still awake.

seeing as he is a racist pig. King is harmless, albeit boring, in comparison, imo.

... and that racist Dobbs gets to keep his show after all the shit he's been spewing into our ether that divides and demeans segments of our population, is appalling.

That our country has devolved into a second rate Third Reich and that nobody seems to notice, is just as appalling.

There is no 'mainstream' media left in the U.S., imo, there is only 24/7 ads in support of all things right-wing which includes racism, homophobia, and on and on.

Edited to add: MSNBC having Keith and Rachel are welcome anomalies to this.

Like Atrios says: http://www.eschatonblog.com/2009/09/kind-old-uncle-adolf.html

As Fox News viewers continue to die off. Also, the 40 plus year olds males living in their mom's basement will get their cable cut off as thier moms die off leaving nobody to pay the bill.

The fact that MSNBC leads CNN in primetime cable news even though people need to buy premium cable from their cable companies to receive MSNBC, and the fact that MSNBC isn't as widely available as CNN OR Fixed News, tells me, that if it weren't for Faux News' special arrangements with all businesses that have it on their televisions all across the country, MSNBC would easily win from them, hands-down.

Either way, the good news will get out.

CNN is reflective of the old fashioned pragmatic, "consensus" politics. It has little place in the contemporary media.

because Keith and Rachel will thank us tonight!

I don't watch anything on CNN anymore. Keith and Rachel's shows are so much better. I'm glad they beat CNN.
