While CNN is in a freefall and chaos, MSNBC rules the day.
On Monday Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell soundly beat Fox News’s Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham between 9 and 11pm.
At 8pm, MSNBC’s Chris Hayes came very close to Fox’s former Tucker Carlson hour.
And that gave MSNBC the win for the night.
And CNN? It was off trailing behind, having lost so many viewers who were angry over the Trump Town Hall and a year of trying to make the former world news leader into a pale reminder of Fox.
MSNBC’s success has been because they had a focus, a vision, and stuck to it, building their audience. CNN — which officially fired Chris Licht this morning — is adrift and in turmoil. It will take a long time to right their ship.
Meanwhile on Fox News yesterday, house clown Harris Faulkner announced that “schools weren’t closed” during the 1918 pandemic, and that people suffered because penicillin hadn’t been invented. Schools were indeed closed all over the country. And even if they penicillin, it wouldn’t have helped. That’s not what cures covid– which that was — or the flu. But Fox just spouts inanity all day long. Maybe that’s why viewers are leaving!
