Big Important Source: MSNBC to Replace Greta Van Susteren with [View all]

Louise Mensch and Claude Taylor in co-hosted news program called: "We Got Sources."

This surprise move reflects the increasing popularity of breaking news on Twitter. One MSNBC Exec, speaking anonymously, said, "Those two are hot properties on Twitter right now, so we grabbed 'em for our new show. Nobody has as many unnamed sources as Mensch and Taylor, so we wanted to take advantage of the gullibility of our target demographic and feature them during the dinner hour."

When asked about questions many have about the Twitter duo's veracity, our source said, "I'm not sure how important that really is when it comes to our viewers. If they can get the ratings, what they're saying has to be true, right. I mean if you don't believe them, don't watch, OK?"
