Joy Reid's show this morning (AM Joy) is a repeat. Why is that? [View all]

Thom Hartmann had said that MSNBC is turning more right-wing and it's head, Andy Lack, wants to turn the channel into another FOX-like channal.

With two female stars moving to MSNBC from FOX and snaring huge contracts -- and with MSNBC refusing to give Joy a contract -- I am very concerned about the future of MSNBC.

I am not sure where to turn if MSNBC becomes another shill for right-wing causes.

Any thoughts? And if MSNBC does turn right-wing, what should our responses be?

On the other hand, it does seem there is news from yesterday. My recorder have screwed up. If so, I sure apologize for my incorrect conclusions.
