Maddow most likely believed what she said at the time early on based on reporsts.. She should have corrected herself when it turned out this wasn't true. But nowhere is there any evidence that she spoke falsely, or didn't challenge falsehoods, in order not to lose her viewers. " most likely believed" great last words on this op.

Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted February 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2023 6 hours ago, Issanman said: Makes one wonder how they can be the number one cable news channel for over 20 years. Forbes: The latest cable news ratings show that, every year since January 2002, Fox has been #1 in total day and primetime viewership as well as #1 in the key 25-54 demo. For the same reason that the 'red top' newspapers in he UK have the biggest readership. The majority of people are really not too bright. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddow should recite facts and not her "beliefs", as a journalist. It's quite obvious with her ineptness and outright lies that their ratings (MSNBC) are well below FOX news. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkok Barry Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I assume that Fox needs a license to broadcast, and receiving that license depends on it being an honourable and responsible organisation? And that now it will be withdrawn? Or will the licensing authority support Fox News's behaviour by letting it continue in business? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they all show highlights from the intolerable msnbc and cnn while employing people like Rino x speaker paul ryan I find on occasion I’m watching more of lesser known news podcasts and watching experts like Dershowitch, Turley and Davis when they appear. Sure do miss Rush ! Ain’t nobody that can unshine Tucker’s commentary ! That all being said will mediafactcheckers organization take them out by giving them a disfavored rating !Conservative voices are on the edge of their seats ,wondering with anticipation!

Tucker Carlson Tonight was second with 3.188 million viewers, followed by Jesse Watters Primetime (2.836 million viewers), Hannity (2.568 million viewers), and Special Report with Bret Baier (2.406 million viewers).” Source: Cable News Ratings Tuesday February 14: Gutfeld!
