...you promote. This one ain't about editorial content, it's about simple marketing. Point people to other time slots on the network and then, let them rise/fall on their merit. And, as expected, GVS fell. I certainly didn't have a sad about that.

As we often say, it's all about ratings - in this case ratings of the entire network.

long cancelled MSNBC show. I think that’s when Carlson ditched the bow tie. I haven’t heard her say anything really nasty about him.

She works for a media outlet and is obligated to promote their programming. She benefits from the network growing its audience.
