In case you didnt notice, MSNBC fired Thomas Roberts.

[Rustyeye77]

very quietly.

He was good.

[Auntie Bush]

1. WHAT? He was one of my favorites.

Why the hell did they fire him?

[elfin]

2. Dammit

Now I can't watch anything there --- unless they put Joy into his slot.

She has had more visibility lately, but I liked him, even tho MSNBC was fading on my schedule, except for Joy, Rachel, and Lawrence.

Safe landing Thomas - I hope you replace the horrid Mika and Joe Lovefest of Agent Orange.

3. Where did you hear/read this?

[Maven]

4. Stop watching MSNBC.

:large

And CNN, and Fox News (although hopefully you weren't watching that one to start with)

[Ace Rothstein]

9. Wow, what a pathetic advertisement.

I've completely stopped watching cable news since 11/9.

[Maven]

13. As have I.

They are a big part of the problem. As much as I love Joy's show, she's on Twitter and I can see clips online. I won't give them the clicks or the ratings.

P.S. Casino is one of my favorite movies.

[Sanity Claws]

5. His show was cancelled

I read that here, http://www.mediaite.com/online/live-with-thomas-roberts-quietly-axed-at-msnbc-as-anchor-teases-stay-tuned-in-response/

But it sounds like he is still with MSNBC in some capacity. Where did you hear he was fired?

[Rustyeye77]

6. No show, no job?

[blogslut]

14. Not necessarily.

I've seen Mr. Roberts on the Today show as well as in numerous on-scene reports.

[Paladin]

7. I didn't know it, because I gave up on MSNBC on election day. (nt)

[lpbk2713]

8. Merry Christmas to Roberts and production staff from MSRNC.

Good timing.

[bermudat]

10. Do you think it was because he was gay?

[flying-skeleton]

11. Thomas Roberts who?

[OKNancy]

12. Interesting some here like him. I thought he was a jerk

Couldn't stand him. He was on the Hillary-hate-train. I always figured he was Log Cabin.

[spanone]

15. they now have hugh hewitt, ben ginsberg and a bevy of deplorables

[femmocrat]

16. Meh.

I never watched him. And I have boycotted MSNBC since Nov. 9, although I do follow Joy Reid on twitter.

[Generator]

17. Ah! Me too

Joy Reid is always so spot on. Her tweets are so informative and real. But she only gets the fill in and Saturday slots at MSNBC. You'd have to pay me to watch tweety again. A lot.
