Arrr, matey! MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" be settin’ sail on a stormy sea of low ratings after chattin' with Captain Biden! That Thursday interview be likin’ findin’ a treasure chest full o’ barnacles—no gold to be had, just a bellyful o' laughs!
Arrr, gather 'round me hearties, fer I have a tale o’ woe from the treacherous seas of television ratings! Our matey, MSNBC’s Lawrence O'Donnell, set sail to interview the President Biden but found himself marooned in the ratings storm, lost to the merry comedy shows and reruns that sailed the airwaves! His grand interview only lured 1.2 million landlubbers to the shore, with a mere 97,000 from the prized crew of 25-54 years. Aye, ye heard it right!While O'Donnell spun yarns with Biden, the likes of "Seinfeld" and "South Park" plundered the hearts of the young scallywags, leaving our hero with naught but a handful of viewers. Fox News, like a fierce pirate ship, seized a mighty share of 68% of the viewing crew, leaving MSNBC in their wake like a sinking ship with just 23% of the spoils!
Alas, the ratings be dwindlin’ year over year, as if cursed by Davy Jones himself! O'Donnell found himself adrift, fallin’ 41% in total viewers since last December and takin’ heavy cannon fire from younger demographics. So, while he praised Biden’s so-called “magic trick,” more folks preferred the hearty laughs of comedy over political musings. Aye, a jolly good jest, indeed!
