The cable channels are driven purely by money - so long as Rachel and Lawrence are bringing in dollars for MSNBC/MS NOW, they'll be safe.

(3,523 posts)Im sure some ratings justification was made, but she made an awfully quick exit (just so were clear, MSNBC let her go) after the election. No doubt Trump and Company had a low hanging fruit list presented to Comcast.

(20,982 posts)Their segments are presented in a manner to educate and make aware of the issues without resorting to name calling.
Rachel, Lawrence, Joy, Ari, Jen, Chris, the Weekend crew, and Stephanie are the ADULTS in the room. They get fired, we will truly know things are bad.
