3. I think this may be outdated. I read the network is thinking about another time slot.

Also, MSNBC has never billed itself as a progressive network. It has a mixture of shows from different viewpoints. A Republican, with a Democratic sidekick, takes over the network from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. every morning, it has Hardball (he's a Dem., but a moderate one), several progressive programs, Andrea Mitchell, etc.

they are owned by comcast which is about as progressive as the Koch Brothers. You will never hear a word about the FCC killing net neutrality from msnbc.

7. I'm all for Keith, Ed, Lawrence, Dylan, Martin, Cenk starting up their own Reality News Network.

MSNBC probably thinks any progressive audience has got nowhere else to go.

And if their parent cable conglomerates think this is a good business model, fuck 'em all.

I guess they didn't like the simple fact that this man and his show, said from day one that sexual predator and chief of all sexual predators was and is a LIAR.

And this man and his producers exposed the outright hypocrisy of what has been transpiring for the last 8 years of right wing BS.

And now that f***ing Comcast thinks that turning into a shrill like Fix Noise will help there bottom line, they keep forgetting one thing, the public owns the airwaves and the cable system to let them function, and if he his not brought back I really hope that he goes to Free Speech TV, or Democracy Now....................


I hate propaganda and oligarchies prancing around like they are for the First Amendment of the Press, That is not Comcast business model, never has been and never will be, and FU Lack, your full of right wing SH*T.

10. What the hell is MSNBC going to do when Twit-ler

gets impeached and his posse goes to jail for treason?

This douche nozzle is removing all truth tellers from the air. Free Speech TV is great, but they aren't on most Cable/satellite packages, so it's very hard to watch and they depend on donations, not all of us have a lot of money to throw around.

Gee, it would be great if there were a viable progressive commercial station....oh, wait....

14. My email to NBC:

I am a long-time viewer -- a Democratic progressive -- who has put up with your firing of past progressive announcers, from Keith Olbermann to Ed Schultz to Cenk Uiger.

If you get rid of Lawrence O'Donnell, you can take your contempt for progressive America and stay in your cowardly bubble, because consumers will detest your brand as badly as they already do your parent company's.

Americans' distrust of media isn't as accurately described by this president as it is when you all in media insult progressive Americans with more he-said/she-said journalism and market infotainments.

I'm glad you were slammed at the White House Correspondents Dinner. When you pander to progressive issues, yet fire progressive news hosts; when you sacrifice your prime time news ratings for ideological dictates of some parent company or president, you deserve all the ever-growing distrust, contempt and sponsor boycotts of your viewers.

Stop being scared of Trump's threats. Start telling the truth to an audience that will be here long after that suited mafioso is gone.

Again.

If you get rid of Lawrence O'Donnell, I will never watch your network again for any reason, ever, because you have shown yourselves to be no better than Russian media cowards.


At least I got that off my chest.

15. I read somewhere in all my reading today Trump wanted him fired

It made me so angry I wanted to confront Trump and tell him: if we need to choose between who stays and who goes, Lawrence O'Donnell stays. He, not you, reports a story one day and is still standing by that story the next day. Repeatedly. Bye.

13. Is there a business opportunity for a internet video to cable service?
Tue May 16, 2017, 09:14 PM
May 2017

I wonder if someone could create a service (not YouTube) that would allow non-computer people, like my 90 yo mom, to see alternatives to corporate news? I would love to have Phil Donahue or Ed Shultz or their right wing equivalents instead of the MSNBC, CNN, FOX multi-talking head garbage fest.

16. looks like a done deal - Lawrence is out
Wed May 17, 2017, 08:59 AM

#45 has allegedly been demanding that Lawrence be terminated, and the Lack(ey) in charge of MSNBC is willing to comply to get access to the idiot.

So how stupid will Lack look when #45 goes down in flames?
