Good News For Rachel Maddow… Nobody Knows Who He Is

I know though and thinks it was a lousy trick to give that poor boy a name like Rachel.

Count this as a plus. Most Americans don’t have any idea who the angry far left nuts are who host the unpopular shows on MSNBC.

Despite her coronation by the state-run media crazy leftist Rachel Maddow is unrecognized by most Americans.

Meanwhile, FOX News continues to dominate the cable news race.
The Politico reported:

More people are getting their news about the upcoming election from cable television than any other source, and from Fox News more than any other cable channel, according to a POLITICO/George Washington University Battleground Poll released Monday.

The poll found that 81 percent of those polled get their news about the midterm elections from cable channels, like Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, or their websites, compared with 71 percent from national network news channels, such as ABC, NBC or CBS, and their websites.

Among cable news channels, Fox was the clear winner, with 42 percent of respondents saying it is their main source, compared with 30 percent who cited CNN and 12 percent who rely on MSNBC.

The results show the growing influence that 24-hour cable news has on shaping the political consciousness, despite the fact that network newscasts still draw many multiples of the number of viewers of even the highest-rated cable news shows…

…Fox’s opinionated personalities were also rated as having the greatest positive impact on the political debate in the country. Bill O’Reilly was rated as having, by far, the greatest positive impact, with 49 percent of respondents rating him positively, and 32 percent negatively.

Glenn Beck was the second most-positively rated personality, with 38 percent of respondents saying he had a positive impact, and 32 percent saying he had a negative impact.

Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was the third-most-positively ranked, with 36 percent saying he has a positive impact on the discourse, but his negatives far outweighed his positives, with 52 percent saying he has a negative impact…

…MSNBC’s personalities were largely ranked as unknown by respondents: 70 percent said they had never heard of Ed Schultz, 55 percent said they had never heard of Rachel Maddow and 42 percent said they had never heard of Keith Olbermann.

Poor hatemonger Keith Olbermann. He still gets no respect – and no viewers.

JWF adds: “I think MSNBC’s ratings might actually get a bump today as people tune in to see if any of their low-rated liberal hacks lose it on the air.”
