#1 MSNBC has too much time on its hands, try some real investigative journalism and maybe your ratings will go up... I suggest a few like ... voter fraud, sasquatch, birth records...

#2 Take note, this is part of the Left's mind, a total incomprehension that somebody, anybody could have a belief system other than their own. It will never enter their minds that maybe their numbers are the artificially manipulated ones.

#3 If you ask me the anomaly was on Monday when PMSNBC's ratings were spiked.

#4 IRS, Fast & Furious, IRS... lots of investigations are needed but to wonder why a hot news girl our rated Rick Maddow does not require Nancy Drew or Sherlock Holmes to solve.

#5 They suspect the numbers are bogus because, well, that's what THEY would do.

#11 Sort of a competitive bailout. Makes sense from the perspective of the half witted, twisted, hate-consumed Left.

#13 MSNBC is still being watched by people other than the loony left and the government?

#17 FTA: At 9 p.m. on Monday, MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show beat Fox News' new The Kelly File, hosted by Megyn Kelly, by a slim 10,000 viewers in the key demo.

So it was a pretty small value of 'beat'. How to explain the Tuesday bump in numbers? Consider:
1) Monday is sports night, which will suck viewers away.
2) The Fox shows debuted Monday, so they probably benefited on Tuesday from some water-cooler buzz.
3) No comment on the appeal Rachel Madow's boyish good looks (heh!) vs Megyn Kelly's hotness, or the actual content of either station
