They don't want Progressives or even Liberals on Msnbc any more... yuiyoshida Sep 2015 #2

Didn't you see this coming - it's malaise Sep 2015 #4

It is strange, there is a big market for liberals yet the M$M has decided Rex Sep 2015 #13

No one has figured out how to get Liberals out there to tune in, neither on Radio nor TV. stevenleser Sep 2015 #16

Looking at that chart I see Al Sharpton's ratings are higher than Morning joke bigdarryl Sep 2015 #17

You can't directly compare shows in the morning and afternoon like that stevenleser Sep 2015 #19

The reason they don't tune in is there are no voices in the media they care to listen to. Rex Sep 2015 #22

They didn't tune in for Ed, Sharpton, Chris Hayes, etc. What are they looking for in a host? stevenleser Sep 2015 #23

A firebreather like Mike Malloy imo. Rex Sep 2015 #24

Malloy is on the very low side of successful compared to Conservative radio hosts stevenleser Sep 2015 #27

Not literally Malloy and I doubt he would give it a go. Rex Sep 2015 #29

That's because Aerows Sep 2015 #54

Maybe it's because we have other things to do Retrograde Sep 2015 #63

M$M CorpoPravda's first priority is not its own direct profits! hvn_nbr_2 Sep 2015 #37

I'd be willing to consider that if you could point to Liberal hosts with great numbers who were stevenleser Sep 2015 #38

I agree with the part about the M$M controlling the national mindset. Rex Sep 2015 #40

Two problems. #1 it conflates what happens at different networks and #2 We can see with Trump stevenleser Sep 2015 #41

Well the ratings are horrible for MSNBC and I am surprised they have not tried a different format. Rex Sep 2015 #42

I think we should start a DU group on how Liberals can be successful political media hosts. stevenleser Sep 2015 #46

Or just maybe some kind of Democratic pointers, I hear Jon Stewart is looking for work. Rex Sep 2015 #48

Agree 100%. Rex Sep 2015 #39

I don't know if it's that but they needed to do something drastic yeoman6987 Sep 2015 #53

Wow, this would be stupid indeed. MBS Sep 2015 #3

What in the unholy F*** JackInGreen Sep 2015 #5

WTF indeed Ghost of Tom Joad Sep 2015 #6

Willie is okay, but I really like Chris Hayes. Vinca Sep 2015 #7

Heard on Joe Madison that Sharpton is moving to Sunday mornings BumRushDaShow Sep 2015 #8

Geist is an old Tucker Carlson protege RandiFan1290 Sep 2015 #9

Geist was Tucker Carlson's side man on his short lived cable show "Tucker". whathehell Sep 2015 #59

Geist will have to work every day and also be awake the whole time. vanlassie Sep 2015 #10

Ugh. moondust Sep 2015 #11

MSNBC must be going to be a business write off or something. mmonk Sep 2015 #12

It's not about news anymore, it is about making sure the public stays apathetic. Rex Sep 2015 #14

So Comcast is switching out one paid liar for another AngryAmish Sep 2015 #15

Chris Hayes is a "paid liar"? whathehell Sep 2015 #60

Do you think Comcast pays him to tell rhe truth? AngryAmish Sep 2015 #61

The Comcast takeover is very recent; I've been watching the show regularly since it's debut whathehell Sep 2015 #64

Maybe they'll bring back Pat "America's racist uncle" Buchanan, or Fucker KKKarlson, or maybe they'l Erose999 Sep 2015 #18

"Alan Keyes is Making Sense" Adenoid_Hynkel Sep 2015 #62

That'll really draw in more viewers. City Lights Sep 2015 #20

Keith, TYT, Ed Schultz, Al Sharpton, Chris Hayes, jwirr Sep 2015 #21

They removed Joy Reid earlier as well as Martin Bashir. BumRushDaShow Sep 2015 #25

I'm guessing Rachel Maddow's contract will expire in August of 2016 Cleita Sep 2015 #32

I wonder if Comcast bought this channel simply to jwirr Sep 2015 #50

It really looks suspiciously like that. Cleita Sep 2015 #56

Yes, I would like to see the liberals who have already jwirr Sep 2015 #57

Time for Rachel Maddow to branch out VanillaRhapsody Sep 2015 #26

They make more money manipulating public policy to favor their non-media endeavors. If you own a TV GoneFishin Sep 2015 #28

If that happens, I'm totally done. Blue_In_AK Sep 2015 #31

I totally agree! mfcorey1 Sep 2015 #52

If they do that, I'll never watch MSNBC again SummerSnow Sep 2015 #33

Hayes and Maddow are the best MSNBC's got. DirkGently Sep 2015 #34

Going with adding a cute blonde (Snowe) and a conservative goof GitRDun Sep 2015 #36

well, willie's journalist chops have been hardened after years on the 'today show' spanone Sep 2015 #43

He's a "low energy guy." Like Jeb. vanlassie Sep 2015 #45

He, like Luke Russert would not have a career on tv if it wasn't for their daddies. livetohike Sep 2015 #58

I've been looking at Al Jazeera for news...Goodbye Rachel, she's only talking about Trump mostly. Stellar Sep 2015 #44

On my satellite server, I get BBC News on the channel right next to Cleita Sep 2015 #49

Liberals don't listen to talk radio or TV Timmy5835 Sep 2015 #47
