Rachel Maddow continued her winning streak this past Monday.

Maddow’s weekly MSNBC appearance wiped out Fox News’s Sean Hannity.

Following Maddow, Lawrence O’Donnell nosed out Greg Gutfeld on Fox.

Maddow is magic for MSNBC. But some of their offerings need help. Jesse Watters, who is basically a jackal, got twice the numbers of Jen Psaki, a wise, smart, speaker.

Thanks to Maddow, MSNBC was only a small number behind Fox on Monday.

CNN? It just keeps dragging on, with an average of about 500,000 viewers through the night. There are ways out of this sandtrap, but they just don’t want to take them.
