JOURNALISTIC JIHAD: Maddow’s Ratings TANKED Then Things Got Worse
Rachel Maddow tried to use Donald Trump for ratings and the stunt backfired.
Maddow committed journalistic jihad, and with a nuclear suicide vest.
Leftists all over the world cringed as Maddow’s journalistic death was broadcasted for all to see. And they were rightfully scared; because Maddow condemned them all to a fate worse than death.
As we all know by now, the lamestream media is fake news. Nothing they report is real, but fabricated with the permission of the Democratic Party.
What Maddow (and her handlers) thought would be an expose, a veritable ratings boom turned out to be anything but. Maddow show on Tuesday represents good news/horrible news.
The Rachel Maddow Show set ratings records on Tuesday thanks to its Trump tax return episode. Wednesday’s show, however, experienced a major ratings dropoff.
The episode was down -36 percent in total viewers from Tuesday, and down -9 percent in total viewers from the previous Wednesday. The audience decline was even sharper when it came to adults 25-54, a category which includes marginal TV news consumers who are more likely to watch when there’s a noteworthy event transpiring. In the A25-54 demo, Wednesday’s episode was down -54 percent from Tuesday, and down -16 percent from the prior Wednesday.
The good news is Maddow drew in a new audience. The bad news is the audience got to see Maddow, ergo MSNBC at its worst. And that is a low bar.
FOX News reported on the ratings, as well as the fallout:
Maddow received criticism from all sides after she and journalist David Cay Johnston revealed Trump’s tax forms on national television.
Geraldo Rivera said it was Maddow’s “Al Capone’s Vault” moment, referencing a 1986 report in which he opened the mobster’s vault live, to find little of value.
On “The O’Reilly Factor,” Bill O’Reilly said Maddow’s broadcast is the latest event in a “circus of ideology and cynicism” surrounding the president.
Additionally, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) pointed out that Trump’s tax rate reflected on the forms was far greater than that of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is often critical of those who don’t “pay their fair share.”
“Since Senator Sanders is such a good socialist, I think he’d want to pay his fair share. I’m expecting news any day that he’s gonna send a couple hundred thousand into the IRS so he can pay his fair share,” Paul said.
Maddow will have a difficult time recovering from this one, as she exposed that she is indeed a media hack.
Personally, I’d like to see her hang in there; for comic relief.
