MSNBC seems to want to join RW gas bags

2. It doesn't help

that all the prime time shows pretty much discuss the same things, but with different hosts. Also, some Dems actually continue to watch Joe Blow even after complaining about him (just check around DU to see what I'm getting at). But if Phil starts pulling even more LW hosts, then his network's ratings will really be low. RWers already hate that network and will never watch it in large numbers, and even most moderates and LWers get their news elsewhere. He can't honestly say that he'd be pulling/moving these hosts in the interest of higher viewership. If he really cared about more views, he would not only bring back Keith, but drop Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd, Joe Blow, and maybe The Cycle (though, I do like Krystal Ball).
There's one thing that I don't get, though: how is it that people are continuing to watch LockUp? LockUp has been on that channel for far longer than I would've anticipated, and they play it for hours and hours every weekend. All it does is show prisons and interview inmates. What's so entertaining about that?
