I’m trying to figure out how a network (MSNBC) can cheer about great ratings that come from reruns of old news… they don’t even try to compete with a live newscast, or even fresh content in primetime on the weekend… whenever breaking news takes place on weekends, even when MSNBC makes an attempt to cover it, they always get killed by CNN or FOX in the ratings… so yeah, they get good numbers with old news, but when new news needs to be reported on the weekend… people migrate away from MSNBC like a flock of birds.
