Turns out early rumors of the former Fox Newsers obscene new NBC salary werent accurate. Shes banking millions more, according to a new report.

(47,470 posts)Yes, Walsh, David Corn, Howard Fineman, and others. Now he have newbies that he can shout over them.

It's vital for the stronger voices to be on CNN.

(47,399 posts)during the day. Also Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle are excellent. Ari Melber has been a refreshing addition to their evening line up. MSNBC still has a lot of excellent talent, but letting Joan Walsh go was really dumb. Not the first time either. They almost let Lawrence go.
I can only take CNN in small doses and absolutely refuse to watch Wolf Blitzer.

(1,332 posts)Damn shame about Joan Walsh. Has msnbc given any reason? Could it be because shes not some young thing? Everytime Hewitt comes on I have to turn the sound down, I cant stand his voice.
I have to admit though, I do like Nicole Wallace.

(1,278 posts)that they still haven't filled permanently. Could they be waiting Rachel Maddow out? With the Joan Walsh move, this makes infinite sense to do. Plus if I were running CNN, I would back up the truck for Joy Reid fPM hour currently held by Wolf Blitzer and Lawrence O'Donnell for the 11p hour currently held by Don Lemon.
M-F lineup:
4a Early Start w/Christine Romans and Dave Briggs (should have never let Ali Velshi get away again)
6a New Day w/Chris Cuomo and Allysin Camerota
9a Newsroom w/John Berman and Poppy Harlow
11a At This Hour w/Kate Bolduan
12p Inside Politics w/John King
1p Newsroom w/Joy Reid
2p Newsroom w/Brooke Baldwin
4p The Lead w/Jake Tapper
5p The Situation Room w/Wolf Blitzer
7p Erin Burnett Outfront
8p AC360 w/Anderson Cooper
9p The Rachel Maddow Show (or some other name)
10p CNN Tonight w/Don Lemon
11p The Last Word w/Lawrence O'Donnell
12a CNN Newsroom w/John Vause and Isha Sesay
2a CNN International w/Rosemary Church
Weekend Lineup
No major changes
Plus if I were running CNN, I would find a way to partner with AJ+, especially Dena Takruri, Francesca Fiorentini, and Ahmed Shihab-Eldin (ASE). I would also give Abby Martin a modest budget and editorial freedom to get stories and break them.

(16,245 posts)Thats why they ditch liberals like Walsh, but keep Hewitt. I think they want anti Trump Republican viewers, which sucks because all Republicans are monsters.
CrispyQ
(36,457 posts)It was on MSNBC, about a week ago. They were talking about the dem chances in the 2018 election & she said, "If we have an election." Everyone thinks it can't happen here, but I wouldn't put anything past the Con.

48. I really like her, CNN will probably snap her up
Lint Head
(15,064 posts)That way the ratings will go downhill and they will have an excuse to reformat MSNBC into a right-wing propaganda arm of the Republican party just like Fox.

(11,885 posts)MSNBC made another huge mistake letting you go and keeping someone like Hugh around. Good luck Joan and have a Merry Christmas. CNN is the lucky one, you deserve to be on the air , and now its done. Always like your point of view and comments.
