Maddow's TV numbers are tanking despite the wing-man cover from other 
media to trumpet her "historic" entry to the chattering classes. Miller 
and Rhodes and Maddow?  I would welcome them in any talk media market if 
for no other reason than to bring life back to the axiom that a rising 
tide lifts all boats.  The ONLY way inn which that tide can rise is 
through real and true listenership. Not artificially sustained presence.
