3. Rachel is must see tv these days.

4. Americans want the truth... she delivers...go Rachel

[mucifer]

5. I bet lots of fox news watchers didn't watch tv last night

[SergeStorms]

15. Even if they did...

the news wasn't all rosy and bright. Several of the talking heads (you certainly couldn't cal them journalists) broke with long-standing FOX rules, and uttered words not fawning or complimentary to the Orange Shit Stain. I've seen a few clips, and it was jaw-dropping. ON FOX NEWS!

I'm wondering what will happen when Hannity finally admits - to himself and the world - that his soulmate - Trump - is a lying, criminal piece of crap. I predict a full-blown crying jag where Hannity will lose the will to talk, if not the will to live. Now that will be "must see TV"!

17. Trust me those spine implants they got installed over at Fox will not last long and in fact

they will shed them easier than a snake sheds its skin.

[SergeStorms]

18. It would be worth a small fortune....

to me to watch them all slither back under the rocks from whence they came. This is going to deal a severe blow to FOX's propaganda machine.

[Fred Sanders]

19. I defy anyone to find a Manafort article anywhere at Fox website...another way they keep the

piglets confined in their little mental pens.

Disappeared in 24 hours...fear and revictimizing Timbetts family is on full throttle.

The mother lode of media evil.

[Pepsidog]

6. Her and Kieth made a great team

[Auggie]

7. It was a great show, too.

8. .....

10. So not so many people were interested in watching Sean Inanity

whine and cry and stamp his feet like a little baby and belch out a specious defense of the orange man-god he worships so? I watched Rachael as well, but I'll bet Toe Head's performance was pretty entertaining.

[workinclasszero]

11. She was breaking a huge story!

The beginning of the end of Amerikkkan Hitler and his criminal empire!

Congrats Rachel!!! Best show on MSNBC!

13. Yay Rachel!

No way was I missing her last night. Cohen, Manafort and Duncan Hunter all within an hour - at rush hour? Too much news coming in way too fast, and I couldn't wait for her to distill all of the insanity I missed during the day.

25. Then there's us streamers.

Not sure I understand that "broadcast tv" category, because MSNBC is a cable station that people can't get on broadcast tv.

But anyway, I'm a cordcutter...so how do I get MSNBC? I listen to the real-time FREE Podcasts on my Roku!!!! (MSNBC also has its free podcast on its website. For those w/o cable.) So I wouldn't be included in those ratings. There's no way to catch the viewers/listeners who are streaming.

Then if I want, I can actually VIEW the shows the next day on the FREE channel/app on my Roku, called PlutoTV.

I wonder what Rachel's #1 show was? Those stats said last night was her #2 highest rated show. #1 was maybe election night?

[stopwastingmymoney]

26. To your last question

I don't know but maybe it's the show I still have saved in my DVR, the day after the 2012 election. Her opening monologue was a masterpiece that I can't bear to watch in these times.

Rachel's been doing right by us for a long time now, our MVP!

[George II]

16. What happened to Fox?

[warmfeet]

22. It appears that they suck.

Hmm. Who knew?

¯_(ツ _/¯

[elmac]

20. she would never lie to us, a rare person in this industry

like Dan Rather, Walter Cronkite, she we be known as one of the great ones, trust, within the constraints of working for a media giant, is rare now days.

[LisaM]

21. Brian Williams was even better.

Of course, he'd had Eugene Robinson and Bill Kristol already lined up, so that helped, but I watched his show and it seemed as if it was over in five minutes. I was riveted.

[Lobo27]

23. I truly enjoy the night time MSNBC line up.

[Honeycombe8]

24. I know why, too! 'Cause she's Grrrrrrreat! She's smart, informed, articulate...

and knows how to connect the dots for us simpletons, and 'splain things like I'm a 4 year old.

[Hekate]

27. 💖💖💖💖💖. Smart, deeply informed, a wonk after my own heart. Thanks, Rachel! nt

[Mrs. Overall]

28. K & R!!!!

Love Rachel!

[ailsagirl]

29. Deservedly so

[OldManTarHeel]

30. Extremely Impressive . . Ms. Rachel Maddow

A big congrats on your content, narrative & style . . !

[Jarqui]

31. I've been working on turning a Trump supporter for some time - since 2016

He now watches Rachel regularly.
He's still center right but she had a bunch to do with bringing him around - bringing him back from the edge.
Trump is a bad joke to him now.

good for her and us!!

35. My hubby had a late business dinner last night and he

Missed the first ten minutes, but heard the rest on Sirius radio in his vehicle. I record TRMS every night so I (or we) can review parts of it the next day. We both watched A Block again before we went to bed.
