and of course Comcast is on the extreme corporate right.
Even though Rachel draws good numbers, I wouldn't be surprised if she were squeezed out.

They let Donohue go when he was at the top, as they did with Olbermann. True it was different management, but MSNBC really seems to want to be a Fox lite.

Outside of the few liberals, MSNBC leans right and with the addition of Van Sustern headed more that way.

I just don't think they care that much about ratings.
Hopefully they will re-up O'Donnell and prove me wrong.
