Both guys are way over the top on their different spectrums. But by and large, the viewers just don't like left wing elitist types.
They don't come across as true "liberals". They are mean spirited and don't seem to show any of the compassion that real liberal people have.
They just seem to be hell-bent on the govt. being bigger and having total control.
Which doesn't sit well with most people. Thus the ratings difference.
And that's the real reason that Ed Shulz is attacking Hannity and challenging him to a "debate". He wants a ratings "rub".
When the "news" on MSNBC is now about one failed commentator (Shulz) attacking a successful one (Hannity), then it's no wonder that people don't watch MSNBC.

i would suggest not reading a lot into ratings differences between fox & msnbc. Fact is, fox gets the big numbers because they are a monopoly on right wing spin.
In contrast, the left leaning viewer not only has half dozen network channels, plus BBC, public radio, they have sitcoms, cartoons, comedians, & even friggin sports channels towing the political correctness garbage barge.
Plus, Shultz's audience is at the bar, or on thefacebook, or at the mall, or getting laid. While the not-as-young viewers are tuning into hannity.
I myself find fox both refreshing, when they blast unions, & pathetic, when they make up some war on christmas. I also like that their female journalists are chesty. This is a refreshing deviation from the 80 pound boy bodies in vogue with madison ave.
