Lawrence ODonnells Future At MSNBC Is Unclear

87. So Andrew Lack(ey) Wants to Turn MSNBC into Fox Lite?

They will lose ratings, and eventually advertisers, if MSNBC allows O'Donnell to walk. And I think if Lawrence is released at the end of his contract, there may not be a "non-compete period" so he could start working for someone else very quickly.

If VICE channel was interested in starting a prime time weeknight news lineup, O'Donnell would be a great first building block. Hire Lawrence and Keith, then Joy Reid once her contract ends, then eventually Rachel once MSNBC lets her go. I watch VICE regularly and I think they have some of the best journalism going. VICE could have a weeknight lineup of:

7-8: Joy Reid
8-9: Keith Olbermann
9-10: Rachel Maddow
10-11: Lawrence O'Donnell

VICE's ratings would soar and everyone in the Resistance will tune in this lineup. Someone should tell Lack that a "Fox Lite" MSNBC would at best play third fiddle to Faux News and the forthcoming Der Sturmer network (AKA Sinclair Broadcasting).
