If MSNBC went off the air tomorrow, what difference would it make?

    Saw something earlier that said MSNBC reached an average audience of 112,000 most days.

    To think that is an elite audience of decision makers is pure fiction from MSNBC.

    And Morning Joe seems mostly to exist as way to keep Joe Scarbrough in the spotlight so when he runs for president, some people will know who he is.

    You'll never believe the depressing reason CNN's ratings went up. Actually, you will because it's right in the URL.

    I think Fox News going away would send bigger shockwaves through America than MSNBC.

    How many people only watch MSNBC? I am guessing the amount of people that will only watch Fox is much, much larger.

    Says more about Fox viewers than about MSNBC.

    I guess Hispanics watch MSNBC at 5:30 am as there was enough
    of an outcry to force an apology.

    For those who don't know what a "douche chill" is, you're about to experience one:

    That's a fireable offense, if you ask me. I'd shitcan the producer and the talent involved.

    Kind of ironic in that Thomas Roberts is a married gay man.
