3. It's insulting that MSNBC thought liberals would watch her.

[PoliticAverse]

7. She's a friend of Rachel Maddow....

who was also a big fan of her Fox show: "Greta Van Susteren is great"...

8. OK, I was trying to forget this.

***Sigh*** Not one of Rachel's finest moments.

[Alice11111]

18. Yes. All of the MSNBC hosts tried to give her a great start.

I figured it was orders from above, though RM seemed genuine.

[Hortensis]

10. Well, she's being replaced by liberal Ari Melber, who

I suspect Rachel likes a lot better. I don't recall Van Sustern subbing for Rachel.

I hope Ari's show does well. These days he'll be like a sunny clearing in a conservative forest.

14. Well, Kagan and Scalia were best buds.

Sometimes people like being close to their nemesis.

[Alice11111]

17. RBG and Scalia went to the opera, plays, & and dined together.

4. watched 10 minutes of her 1st m$nbc show....that was too much.

5. It must be Christmas!...;

"Out you... go, through the door or out the window!"

[Coventina]

11. LOL! One of my favorite movie moments to reference!

Evil Nick.

6. They never should have hired her and the other right wingers they have recently hired.

I hope they all bomb in the ratings and get fired as well.

I don't watch Fox 'News' for a reason.

They lie.

They don't believe in facts.

They misrepresent.

They omit.

They manipulate.

I don't know why MSNBC is trying to emulate them.

9. 18%(300,000 viewers instantly shut off MSNBC when her show began at 6, Hardball brought 58% back.

Her show sucked mostly because she uncritically allowed Right-wing talking points to be repeated ad nauseam. Only recently did she put real fangs in her critique... too late for management.

[Chipper Chat]

12. She was probably told to do that (insert rightie talking points).

The whole enchilada was dirty. Greta was sucked in on the promise of "you will be a great fit and your viewpoint will be great for M$NBC." I didn't think it would work as I switched and watched the Wolfman at 6pm. I don't think Greta is a bad person and I kinda feel sorry for her and wish her well.

[mopinko]

16. that right there is the salient fact. 58% back for matthews.

i got a crisp $20 that says matthews got her fired for the shitty lead in.
he holds a lot of sway there. a lot.

15. ***Who bloody cares***
