In reply to the discussion: Got fed up. Wrote to NBC's Phil Griffin and Andy Lack about MSNBC grotesqueries [View all]DK504
(3,847 posts)20. LA's only progressive radio station shut down all the great progressive
talk shows and turned it into a sports station, I think it became a Spanish speaking station, something else I think. It was THE #1 talk station in all of So. Cal. and right after Alfred E. Newman was selected in 2000. Overnight half of the progressive station went off the air.
MSNBC caved immediately by firing Phil Donahue, which was their #1 show, an afternoon show was #1 and they cancelled it because they are such chicken shits. The last straw was Keith Olbermann....he put them on the map and they have been in downward spiral ever since. god riddance to bad rubbish.
