Does that thing even get ratings?

Yes.

Who watches that show?

She is the Tucker Carlson of Democrats, apparently.

Probably I suppose. She's so fucking ugly though. I'm not over the top about Tucker and am not gay, but he's a decent looking man at least. Maddow is a fucking lesbian giraffe. I mean what man would watch her show that is straight? Theoretically that would knock out 45% or so of viewers. This is why I cut the cable and only watch shit online and comedy from the 90's and early 2000's.

Lol. I actually broke our main TV that had over the air. The coaxial cable connection. Best accident ever. I don't have to see indoctrinated sitcoms that are boring as fuck any more. That's why I like the internet, I can search what I want. It's not fed to me.

People watch it because it confirms their biases. Most of them are in their 60's and up, although some younger people listen to her, but they don't sit down and listen, it's a background thing as they do something else.

I really don't understand how people can watch television in general. Greg Gutfield for example is a star, I find him boring and not funny. No real issues or thought is produced for television. I remember Frontline in the 1980's and 1990's, that used to be great (I think), and Nova and so. I don't think stuff like that exists today. It's just conformation bias for everybody or superficial badly written dreck. The current generation of television writers are just awful and I can see people aping behavior they see off from the fucking box.

He's god awful. I can't stand his face or voice. Not funny as you mention. There's so much bad out there for any party. Tucker is at least manageable and doesn't seem hard right. I think he botched the Putin interview though. Ain't no perfect reporter.

He's the information-lite I think. He never goes into depth, he feigns ignorance about things that are obvious to me, he supported the Iraq War 2 decades ago unrelentlessly - I don't see him as a very serious reporter or journalist.

I think the Glenn Greenwald is decent. If I want to get a general summary about what is going on, I think he's decent. Here's his page:

He's not partisan, and he calls out the obvious bullshit of both sides. One thing that annoys me about him is that he claims (perhaps believes) that the propagandists on the propaganda box actually believe the bullshit they are saying. I'd recommend him over Tucker Carlson.

And as for Greg Gutfield, I'd recommend Jimmy Dore over him.

He's leftist, but he's genuinely naive, not stupid, and he's not a shitlib.
