1. Fuck.

[skylucy]

5. Ditto.

[Stargleamer]

16. same word that immediately came into my mind n/t

[liberal from boston]

25. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

[Stargleamer]

29. Thanks a lot - I hope it will be posted online to MSNBC later so I can watch it n/t

[forgotmylogin]

70. Is there any possibility

he's ending his show, but remaining with the network?

Maybe he wants to get out in the field?

[C_U_L8R]

2. Fuck MSNBC

I'm going with Lawrence.

[GP6971]

6. Same here.

with the exception of Rachel.

[TheBlackAdder]

78. Way to go, MSNBC! Suck up to Trump's ass months before he's impeached! Slick business model.

[Squinch]

3. Dumbasses.

[Warpy]

55. Dunno, I'm convinced that they're running MSNBC as a tax loss

for the parent company. As soon as a show gets really high ratings, out it goes. Happened to Phil Donohue. Evenutally Maddow's contract will expire and they'll dump her in favor of some Pox News jigglebot or some tired old network hack.

[Wabbajack_]

72. They want low ratings

Huh?

[Warpy]

80. Look up "tax loss."

[GP6971]

4. DAMN! They'll regret it. n/t

[emulatorloo]

7. showbiz411.com?

Sorry I'll wait for a legit news outfit to report this before i light my hair on fire.

[flamingdem]

8. grrrrr

They didn't listen to their core audience.

[spooky3]

9. Please, CNN, hire him for the 10:00 slot, and let him destroy whatever lame MSNBC replacement goes

in, in place of The Last Word.

[safeinOhio]

32. Yup, who do they have on at 10:00?

guess I'll be finding out.

[rpannier]

63. Rumor I've seen when it was still possible yes-or-no

Brian Williams wants the slot
As if Il Douchengropers lies are not enough. They may give the slot to another bald faced liar

[jaysunb]

10. Sacrifice for O'Riley ? n/t

[rpannier]

65. I think it's an attempt to rebuild Brian Williams

MSNBC is weird in many ways. They cut better talent (people like Donahue and Lawrence) to make room for lesser ability, but bigger names (Chris M. Brian W. Gretchen etc)

[elleng]

11. DAMN! Where will 'we' go,

as the sh*t hits the fan, after Rachel (who I'll probably watch, but that's IT for msnbc. NO MORE!) He'd be so good with ins and outs of the politics of impeachment/whatever, due to his experience.

[ADX]

12. Unless they plan on bringing Keith Olbermann back to take Lawrence's place...

...fuck MSNBC.

[BeyondGeography]

13. Lawrence took the right tone from the start and he looks smarter every day

Spectacularly bad business decision.

[MattP]

14. I thought they were in negotiations and this is from yesterday morning

I hope it isn't true but i wouldn't be surprised

[blogslut]

15. This is the same story/link that's been posted here already.

When Variety reports it, then I will believe it.

[Honeycombe8]

43. Sorry. I looked for it, but didn't see it. This is a Frum tweet of the imbedded link. nt

[A-Schwarzenegger]

17. wouldnt Lawrence tweet about it?

He's tweeting about tonight's show.

[Cha]

18. Rachel is "critical" of trump too.. so why are they

letting LO'D go?

It doesn't make sense.. what the hell is NOT to be critical of trump about?

[emulatorloo]

24. Lawrence is on MSNBC live right now. Chatting w Rachel, about to start The Last Word

I guess the take away is believe everything you read on "showbiz411"

[Cha]

34. Good.. but that still doesn't mean he's signed a

new contract.

I want this to be Wrong!

[emulatorloo]

42. His show is great tonight, tune in! Joy Reid on his panel as I write this.

[Cha]

45. Brilliant! I don't have a tv.. will catch

it later.. Mahalo, emulatorloo

[emulatorloo]

58. Check out Lawrence's tweets in the linked article here:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029076238

He's not going anywhere.

[Cha]

69. YAY! That's what I love to see! Mahalo, emulartorloo!

57. She never made the fatal error of accusing Trump

flat out as not being as rich as he says he is. Lawrence also called on NBC to fire him during the Apprentice and called him out for being racist over the whole birther bullshit. Trump threatened to sue - of course. Lawrence mocked that and said no you won't on his show. So Trump has wanted Lawrence gone for years.

[grantcart]

68. Rachel is fact based and professional

Lawrence is truthful but passionate and gets personal, egging Trump with things like "Sue me, please".

I hope CNN or Fox takes him so I can follow him there.

[Cha]

71. Looks like he's still in at msnbc.. I hope so!

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9076238

[grantcart]

73. Earlier and not definitive unfortunately

[Cha]

74. I know.. :(

[Cha]

75. msnbc already made a big mistake hiring greta

[Cooley Hurd]

19. He's on live now

[A-Schwarzenegger]

20. Well, there he is...

[emulatorloo]

21. Lawrence O'Donnell is live on MSNBC right now. Tune in.

[hlthe2b]

22. The article is from May 15. I've seen posts linking to updates that it is STILL up in the air.

Frum's tweet is today, but the article he sources is not current.

[Amaryllis]

33. Here:

Also from the 15th but different info:
http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/lawrence-odonnell-msnbc-1202427309/

[calguy]

23. Looks like I'm not watching MSNBC anymore

I don't get home from work until midnight and always have his show on the DVR to watch before I go to bed. Now I'll be spending it reading.

[elleng]

26. He's on now. We shall see.

[emulatorloo]

35. And calling out Trump's ignorance. Apparently showbiz411.com doesn't know a damn thing

rumor and innuendo.

[elleng]

38. Right. Hope so,

and having same thought.

[emulatorloo]

27. Lawrence is on MSNBC live right now. Tune in to watch his show.

I guess showbiz411.com isn't a credible source.

[Freethinker65]

28. If true, very awkward timing

[Amaryllis]

30. THis article from the same day (15th) has different info:

http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/lawrence-odonnell-msnbc-1202427309/

[Honeycombe8]

37. Okay...I don't know who to believe. Maybe the talks fell thru. nt

Maybe the talks fell through.

31. MSNBC Boss Andy Lack Wants to Dump Lawrence ODonnell for Brian Williams, Insider Says (Exclusive)

http://www.thewrap.com/msnbcs-andy-lack-wants-to-dump-lawrence-odonnell-for-brian-williams/

[emulatorloo]

39. How many times do we have to tell y'all that O'Donnell is on live right now

And he's criticizing the hell out of Trump.

[CousinIT]

44. Message deleted by DU the Administrators

[emulatorloo]

54. What can you share with me about "showbiz411.com's" credibility?

Do you really believe a story full of nothing but speculation, rumor and innuendo is the gospel truth?

If you can unequivocally vouch for the credibility of this website, I'll be happy to light my hair on fire for you.

BTW, Lawrence's show is great tonight. Still on if yr interested.

[emulatorloo]

60. Apparently Lawrence isnt going away. See his tweets at link:

Check out his tweets in the linked article

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029076238

[Honeycombe8]

47. Oh, Gawd, I hope not. nt

[still_one]

36. brilliant move NBC. Let Lawrence go because he was "too critical of trump". That should go over

real well, especially in light of the latest news today that the President is a crook

MSNBS has been heading this way for a while. It started with the double standard talk Lester Holt had with Hillary and trump, and how Andrew Lack gave all kinds accolades for those double standard interviews, which essentially gave trump free pass, and ended last year when they were one of the first news outlets to report that when Comey released the letter to the republicans, they reported that the email investigation was reopened. Problem is that was a LIE, and they knew it, and knew they distorted the letter.

So glad that I no longer receive those cable/news outlets anymore

[emulatorloo]

41. LAWRENCE IS ON LIVE ON MSNBC RIGHT NOW, ripping Trump to shreds.

Ripping Trump to shreds.

I don't beleive this source is credible.

[blogslut]

40. I'm beginning to think that...

maybe it's Andy Lack that's out at MSNBC.

[Azathoth]

46. it's unconfirmed, probably bullshit

Lack may have wanted to torpedo O'Donnell, but the push back is causing second thoughts.

[Honeycombe8]

48. The Last Word is one of their most highly rated shows. Makes no sense. nt

[emulatorloo]

59. Read this article and Lawrence's tweets. Apparently he's not going anywhere.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029076238

[flamingdem]

49. Frum is up right now

He knows the situation and will tweet about it later methinks

[Wiseman32218]

50. This just sucks!!!!!

[bdamomma]

51. If this is true

Fuck MSNBC, Lawrence is on now, we as viewers need to call or e mail MSNBC to keep Lawrence on.

tRump needs to stop whining but then again, it's all about tRump being in the limelight.

[Laffy Kat]

52. More than Rachel?

Doesn't make sense to me.

[Bigredhunk]

53. -

Get rid of a show that's performing well...a show whose content people are craving (and will more in the future). That's good thinking.

Phil Donahue all over again.

[emulatorloo]

56. Maybe change your title to "Unconfirmed"

Cause it seems like showbiz411 story may be bullshit.

[Duppers]

61. Double fuck.

[emulatorloo]

64. Lawrence isn't going anywhere. Link:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029076238

Worth reading the full story, great tweets from Lawrence.

[emulatorloo]

62. Lawrence apparently is not going anywhere. Link:

https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029076238

Check out Lawrence's tweets in the linked article.

Maybe time to self-delete your thread? Because the story you linked to isn't correct.

[iluvtennis]

66. Just shaking my head...wow.

[triron]

67. Please email msnbc @ [e-mail]

and tell them to keep the Last Word with Lawrence O;Donnell.

[Doreen]

76. First I hear he is going then not going then going

then not going and they all have had some sort of what could be a link to the truth. Which is it? Stay or go? I personally think that Rachel, O'Donnell, Hays, and Joy should all leave and start their own news channel. Yeah, yeah pipe dream but it would be good huh?

[spiderpig]

77. Exactly. Leave Andrew Lack with what he appears to want.

It annoys me no end that niche markets like SciFi, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel and Court TV appear only to morph into something completely unrecognizable.

Next, Animal Planet will become My Favorite Butcher.

[Doreen]

79. For me SciFi ended when "Haven" ended.

It seems to me on the weekend all I see other than news reruns is those stupid "Lock Up" programs. If I want to watch criminals I will watch the news featuring our administration.
