    The audience of Ms Maddow’s show has almost tripled, from 849,000 nightly viewers in 2014 to more than 2.3m in June


    Rachel Maddow of MSNBC is now said to be the most popular personality in prime-time cable news – a title that has been claimed by Fox News TV hosts since 2001.

    Ms Maddow’s network also achieved other milestones in July, including its closest finish to Fox since 2000 and its largest margin of victory ever over CNN. While cable ratings across the board surged throughout the first six months of Donald Trump’s chaotic presidency, The Rachel Maddow Show, launched nearly 10 years ago, appears to have particularly benefited amid the actions and controversies involving the unpredictable US leader.

    Ms Maddow’s audience alone has almost tripled, from 849,000 nightly viewers in 2014 to more than 2.3m in June, according to Rolling Stone.

    I just can't watch her. I find her to be very smart and just so obnoxious. Her monologues grate on my nerves. But that said, I can understand why her ratings have gone up. The cheerleading at Fox is enough to drive any rational person insane.

    I've tuned in and it makes me wonder about the mental stability of her and anyone who watches her

    How about trying to argue with the facts, or is insults your only avenue?

    FOX news is in disarray. They lost O'Reilly and it's going to be very tough to replace him. I also feel cable media as a whole is not meaningful for most under-40 Americans.

    Got it, you can't provide a substance to the conversation ... so why not do what you do best.

    I don't watch her but I imagine a lot of her newfound popularity stems from the fact that she isn't sexually harassing her colleagues, a quality that seems to be increasingly rare in the cable biased-news world.

    Just like people say about Trump and his fans. Two crazy TV personalities, yet one of them has access to the nuclear codes.

    Not to mention the fact that the "failing" New York Times has seen subscriptions and its stock price soar like a North Korean missile since Illegit Donnie 'won' the election...

    If you can't see the foaming at the mouth hate and psychotic rage from this woman then I assume you are one of her followers and in equal mental distress over Hillary's defeat

    Yes, Fox is in disarray because their ugly corporate culture finally saw the light of day.

    Their demographic problem remains, as well as the narrow focus of their aging, all white audience.

    You may be right about cable news not being as relevant to the under 40 audience.

    But the data shows that MSNBC owns the under 40 audience that does watch.

    It's a reminder of how smugly certain the Losers were. And why they haven't stopped screaming to this day.

    Being the most popular liberal tv program is like being the most revered Trekkie on campus. Nobody cares but the other Trekkies. Enjoy the ratings.
