Ratings: "60 Minutes" with Marjorie Taylor Greene Down 33% from Last Week, 2nd Lowest Episode of Thi

I just logged on a few moments ago and just found this tweet. No doubt @mtg will twist this low rating to make it look good. We shall see.

Plus her appearance and voice disgust me. She is such a liar and traitor.

They didn't factor in how repellent she and her craziness is.

I'd give a rat's behind either way should someone watch it, that's entertainment. I did though think the buzz over the past week-ten days would get a ton of people watching just for kicks and sport, others to find an excuse to rage out, and others just to see what the lowest common denominators act like on national stage.

I'm ambivalent about her appearance, and 60 Minutes hasn't been my bag since Mike Wallace left. But I honestly thought it was going to be a ratings bonanza (relative to sponsor's expectations, etc).

was prime time viewing because everbody knew they'd get out the hammers and go after the bad guys without any holding back, without allowing any weaseling.

Those days are long gone.

Seems to me that such a big drop in eyes of interested "I"s is a significant face palm , an in-your-face "Hello, you must be going", don't let the door slam, slam.

Edit CBS not CNN got this hit

Nothing will change! The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy unprofitable to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.

Same as tRump and DeSantis. Why would I voluntarily subject myself to that crap since I am not a masochist.

a Ratings Grab FAILED Miserably and I'm glad to be a part of that.

Plus from those who did watch the consensus is that Stahl bombed.

TY rivers!

Media stop putting psycho fascists on to spew their hatred without even calling them out for what they are.

I would always avoid watching that revolting in every way piece of filth. Looking at her makes me similar to dumpster and others. It’s even worse to watch them being enabled by the media and their fascist supporters.

is disgusting and unqualified to be called a Congresswoman. She called President Biden a liar, plus she is a wacko. Only in for the money, plus I hate looking at her ugly face.


Let her go to NY city, maybe they will arrest her.
