Hey, will Drudge have anything to say about FNC’s dem debate? Oh right, nothing but “pity party links” for the #1 cable news channel. Ah, it must be tough looking in from the outside on these matters, eh.

How about the guest on Hardball tonight…. Chris asks her a question about the debate and she replies “I dont know if anybody watch it” Mr matthews did not like to hear that exclaiming that he watch it and it mattered to him..

So much for that nonsense about how Morning Joe is becoming a threat to American Morning! Also, I can’t understand why MSNBC leaves Tucker on the air. He has less total viewers at 6PM than Morning Joe does at 6AM! Does anyone even like Tucker Carlson? I sure don’t.

I used to like Moron Joe, back when he first got his nighttime gig. But coincidentally, somewhere around the time he was injured and called in to his show from home, high on oxycontin, he also started sucking up to his liberal pals at MSNBC. He’s just gotten worse and his morning gig is little more than taking pot shots at CNN and Fox. In fact MSNBC is deranged in their obsession with dissing the competition. They’re pathetic.

Looks like Sanchez’s numbers really took a hit. Wasn’t he getting close to KO? Perhaps no one wants to hear about BO anymore. JUST DROP IT SANCHEZ, before CNBC is beating you!!!

Tucker is the only show I watch on MSNBC regularly. His demo numbers are always much better than MJs. The problem lately is Willie seems to be gone more days than not and I hope he doesn’t waste his time on loser Joe. I figured out why Morning Joe is so dull - Mika and Joe are the same age and I think that’s why it’s so boring - middle-aged nobodys trying to be hip. They need a younger woman with some spunk because Mika sits there frowning the whole show.

Mourning Joe remains at half Imus’ numbers, no relief in sight.

I don’t watch MSNBC I do miss Tucker and Willie Geist. I wish they were on a network I watched. I suppose they are under contract so they can’t look around for a new gig. Willie Geist has a future on Air. Tucker has paid his dues, I really wish they would both end up on The Daily Show and the Colbert Report as guest….a re match with Jon Stewart.
It looks like MSNBC is being treated by NBCU, like a relative that came to visit and stayed too long. Nobody is helping MSNBC, why too many sycophants and yes people? No one wants to FIX the Network? I guess it is all about pecking order, it’s not about ratings that’s for sure.

What is wrong with Bill O’Reilly these days? I’m not talking about his ratings but I’ve never seen him kissing ass like he did with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on Wednesday and Thursday. Now I don’t think his comments were any offensive, but still trying to figure out why he is so scared of them. Common Bill there was time when people were scared of you.

It’s well known that cash can make us disembarrass. But how to act if someone does not have money? The only one way is to get the home loans and just collateral loan.
