[Couldn't happen to a niceer person :) Have you watched this guy at all? I can only stand to watch him for a minute or two--was he really this bad before? I think he's much worse What an awful person. And don't get me started on MSNBC's appalling decision to use those two idiots to anchor a news show, the Guardian Angels guy and that pony-tailed defense lawyer--ugh!]XXXXX DRUDGE REPORT XXXXX TUESDAY AUGUST 27, 2002 16:25:04 ET XXXXX
MSNBC'S 'DONAHUE' HITS LOWEST NIELSEN RATING POSSIBLE
Phil Donahue has plunged in total collapse on MSNBC with cable viewers, NIELSEN ratings show.

Last Friday night, DONAHUE earned a .1 to CONNIE CHUNG's .6 on CNN and O'REILLY's 1.0 on FOX NEWS.
Even more amazingly, MSNBC for the entire day average only a 0.2, and it was beaten by both CNN'S HEADLINE NEWS channel and CNBC that day. (FOX was .6, CNN .5, MSNBC .2).
For the month of August, MSNBC's M-F prime time is down 21% among the key demos (25-54) from a year ago. Year over year, in total weekday ratings, FOX is up 75%, CNN is up 25%, and MSNBC is flat, with 0% growth.

I dearly love Hannity but I have such an intense dislike of Colmes that I only watch it if there is something special I want to hear/see. Even my liberal friends can't stomach the man. Seems they could do better in their choice of oponent for Hannity. Taz

Given the competition I'll take Colmes. I despise Larry King and Chris Matthews. That said, I wonder if there is a liberal we could stomach. Any suggestions?
