I used to listen to them. Maddow is my #1 fav and O'Donnell #2. I like Brian Williams show, too.

FOX won't be able to catch up because they have lied for so many years, they wouldn't recognize the truth if it tripped them up...which it has just done.

Congrats to Rachel, Lawrence, Chris and Brian. WTG!

… was #6 in all broadcast TV. To be in the Top 10 among all shows is big - like 60 Minutes and the Lucy shows!
