When they pick a real journalist to host the show.

git got it

Gregory is only a slightly more temperate version of Scarborough.

Really! It would have been nice if Gregory had asked Scarborough how he could trash Barney Frank for walking off of Mark Haines' show when he did the exact same thing to Rachel Maddow when she undressed him on David Gregory's show race for the Whitehouse last year but, he's a media douchebag himself. Just like that asswipe Stephanopoulos who never once this morning asked that idiot Mitt Romney to name one instance when Obama apologized to a foreign country for America! What a piece of shit he is. Of course anyone who takes his questions from that bloated, pigged faced Sean Hannity is clearly a moron and not a journalist!

Rachel and Keith already have their own cable soapboxes, in case you missed it.

What possible benefit is served to the viewing audience by having the massive egos of these two narcissists stroked even further? The media's already too liberal as it is, thank you very much.

-A

Git said it best.

But WHY is Meet the Press in the tank for Obama??? HUH??? WHY!!!

Are you kidding? That asshole Scarborough has his own 3 hours worth of bullshit to spew at us each day. Although Scarborough is pushing his book which I hear is only # 81 in sales on amazon.com, Rachel and Keith have shows as well and they could expand their audiences as Scarborough is trying to do. Idiots like you only think there is a liberal bias because you either don't have cable or don't care much about the facts! That's OK because neither does fox. While Scarborough spews his garbage on MSNBC the so-called liberal network, it is fox whose slogan of fair and balanced is bullshit. Where is the liberal with a show on their network? While most of the Dems are hard at work for us, the stupid Republicans spend all of their time on TV trashing the Dems and threatening to obstruct any policies Obama attempts. Go back to the fauxnews page where they're more than happy to support your warped perception of reality because it is here that "We Surround You"!

Crawl back to your Doom Bunker A. We are coming to shove socialistic dildos into your anus. We are going to turn your dogs and cats into communist fascists that will turn your household into a people's republic. The public schools will teach your children that the Invisible Pink Unicorn created the universe with a Big Bang and how to pick coordinating colors when they dress themselves.

Why would either of these two be invited anywhere? I'm surprise they are left to roam the streets alone.

Atanarjuat:
So does Scarborough. Almost double the time of KO and Maddow put together.

I'm pretty sure that Monica Crowley doesn't roam the streets alone. When she goes out she has a Ess Ess escort to goose-step down the street with her.

While it pisses me off that the asswipe Scarborough has 3 hours, it's their primtime lineup that has the real clout. They tried Scarborough out at 5pm but that dog wouldn't hunt! Daytime and particularly morning tv is where the losers are found so in that sense, Scarborough fits in nicely. He could never get the ratings that Keith and Rachel are in primetime. We'd love to have Shepard Smith in exchange for the beedie eyed, ill tempered, Jethro Bodine!

Joe "brewed by Starbuck's" Doucheborough the panhandle pinhead. I really don't wish him on anyone.

Fox is the undisputed leader. O'Reilly scores more than all others combined in his category. Hannity scores more that all others combined in his category, and so on.

Why don't they put them on Meet the Press? Becasue their own respective shows ratings suck, so why would they bring them on Meet the Press? They want to raise ratings, not drive them into the ground.

^^
an idiot is ALWAYS a genius to another idiot...FOX's numbers prove just how many there are in this country...thanks for giving us that perfect example!

Murdoch has made billions off of the stupid and easily fooled. That was his business model long before he started fox news. Still works doesn't it, JJ.

Those clowns wouldn't work on Meet The Press because you couldn't get away with the lies and distortions that pass for news on fox. My guess is that they don't have more viewers on fox. It's that they have more of the ignorant segment of the population watching them, and nothing else. How else could it be that all of their teabagging viewers couldn't mount enough of a challenge to Obama to even make last years presidential race close? One thing hasn't changed and that's the fact the Obama was right when he talked about how they CLING TO THEIR GUNS AND RELEGION! He nailed all of those stupid ass wingers!

krystal, eve & roxsteady

The "everyone that disagrees with my point of view" is an stupid idiot or a fool is really quite an advanced way of observing the world. Thanks for pointing that out.

uh,

N-E-V-E-R!

JJ, you do know that FOX is part of basic cable right? MSNBC is offered as part of the 2nd or third tier packages a lot of cable companies offer which means more people have FOX available to them which of course, means FOX would have more viewers.

You can also argue that CNN/MSNBC split the viewership of the more reasonable people in this country whereas FOX is the only option for the wingnuts in their country.
None of this really matters when you realize how many people watch NBC, ABC and CBS for their news each night.

And I just do not get the Rachel Maddow hate from the right. I get Olberman, he can be a blowhard, but Maddow?
That is just odd.
Does intelligence, respect and good manners no longer count for anything among the wingnuts?

JJ -

Perhaps you are not aware that MSNBC is not available in all markets.

The numbers you show are meaningless until you look at the numbers from the markets where all of the listed entities are actually available.

It's impossible to have viewers in markets where you are not on the dial.

Disingenuous wrong wing propaganda dispensers.

vintagegoddess -

Rachel Maddow is a women. Women are supposed to be barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen and quiet.

Wrong wingers are all about White Males uber alles.

They won't watch Maddow no matter how polite she is. She is a women and should keep her mouth shut, and she's gay so she should be stoned as an abomination.

The wrong wing is now composed of ignorant knuckle dragging inbred morons and the slimy conmen that scam them.

Pretending I wrote something completely different from what I did write is a favorite winger comeback, JJ. I don't know, maybe that works for fox viewers.
