Lawrence O'Donnell's future at MSNBC is unclear

[JaneQPublic]

With only a few months left on Lawrence's contract, the network suits haven't even begun negotiations, raising speculation as to whether they're moving the station toward conservative hosts.

1. I haven't always

agreed with the things he says, but it would be horrible to see him let go. If MSNBC lets him go, they really are clueless. Their main demographics for years have been liberals and moderates, but they seem to have forgotten that and are busy chasing viewers who mostly distrust and dislike their network.

[JaneQPublic]

3. That"s right. Liberal viewers made MSNBC.

They are going to gamble on courting right-wingers and lose their loyal lefties.

The teabaggers will never trust the channel is anything but "Libtard Central."

2. MSNBC is the new Fux News lite... been done with 'em.

[spiderpig]

4. Yup. It was the reported recruiting of Hugh Hewitt that sent seismic signals.

I mentioned on another site that if they replace Lawrence with anyone other than Dan Rather calibre, it will free up another hour of my day to walk my dog.

13. He is going after Trump big time...the powers that be don't like that.

5. Read the story earlier and just shook my head

They're not going to get the reichwing to watch them not matter what
They're too busy watching faux, bratbart, infaux warz

[mdbl]

6. Just what we need, another useless network

I really like Lawrence O'Donnell. If they get rid of someone like him, I'll just stop watching MSNBC all together.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

7. What about Chris Matthews????

He has been coming down hard on Donald Trump as well, pointing out his abuses and the like.

If MSNBC gets rid of Lawrence, there will be no one left but Rachel. She is next to go, even though she is the top rated show on that network.

8. Would an email campaign do any good? (nt)

[Vinca]

9. I don't get the guy running MSNBC now. Does he want ratings to go down????

Being faux Fox isn't a well thought out game plan.

[brooklynite]

10. People have been complaining that MSNBC is going conservative "any day now".....for years.

[Demsrule86]

12. Well they have moved right...morning and afternoon is unwatchable...I can tolerate Meet the press.

I never watch Greta.

[Demsrule86]

11. Those time slot are the best in terms of ratings...so

if they do that ...then they have an agenda which is why we had fairness doctrine and need to move back in that direction...we also need to limit corporation ownership of tv stations.

14. Saw this last night. What BS. Lawrence is 2nd most watched show on the network

This is clearly not a business decision.

[JaneQPublic]

15. Yep, as Lawrence tweeted recently...

16. It isn't about leaning right, this is pure politics

This is about reducing the overall bandwidth of progressive voices!

18. Trump is pushing to have him fired

He is a thorn in tRump's side, or butt, choose your location

[JaneQPublic]

19. Yes, Lawrence pissed off Trump years ago.

One of the reasons was Lawrence suggested 45 wasn't anywhere near as rich as he says he is.

So Trump has been pushing station management ever since to give Lawrence the axe.

No doubt if they do let LO'D go, Trump will take it as an indication of his own power and clout.
