He lost his prime time slot to Nicole Wallace whose show not only took his slot but expanded to two hours, now he's signed the Trump rally in conflict with the Biden town hall and both Chris Hayes and Racheal Maddow threw veiled shade at the Trump/Biden conflict.
When your co hosts, particularly the flagship host, cast shade at you on air you're not long for the position of News Manager.

(8,010 posts)He's a "both sides do it and I'm objective" apologist. They think they need him. I think he's an idiot but to the $ and NBC, he is a useful idiot.

(37,182 posts)This is the "Great Again" thing that Trump supporters want. An age where just being a White, Christian, Hetero male meant an EZ pass to the middle class at the very least.
Everyone else has to fight over whatever crumbs are left on the table.

(53,214 posts)I remember when he was just a regular contributor on MSNBC. He did the Steve Kornacki statistical stuff. He wasn't all that bad in that job, but once he got his own show, he became insufferable.
He has just gotten demoted. How much lower can he go? I'm thinking he won't be there much longer.

(53,214 posts)being moved to a position he is not prepared or qualified to hold. In the process, he became a bit full of his self-importance and became pretty much unwatchable. Who on earth at NBC made that decision? The same person who chose David Gregory before him? Meet the Press is the longest running show on television (November 1947), you'd think they would put more thought into the decision.

(14,054 posts)If MSNBC hosts don't speak up they don't deserve to be watched. Ari, Rachel, Lawrence, Chris, Joy, and Nicole speak or don't bother showing up for work. You're not worth watching if you can't speak the truth.

"Gertrude Alflin, 86, passed away peacefully in her sleep. Some say she was a woman of tremendous faith, attending church every morning. Others say that she was really a cruel woman who hated her family. Reports are that she became more of a homebody when the love of her life, Bernard, passed away several years ago, although some have questioned her whereabouts at the time of his death. In lieu of flowers, the family have asked that you play a Bingo Card in her honor at the Tuesday Afternoon VFW Post Bingo Game, but some people say that this would only encourage gambling.
She'll be laid to rest at Shady Grove Cemetery and Drive-Thru on Monday, although some have said it will be Wednesday."
"Back to you Andrea...
