4. We ALL DO. We all share his frustration. How is Maddow being likewise canned going to help?

She's already having staff fired along with close colleagues. The situation is quite different than when KO took on his bosses more than a decade ago. MSNBC is already being spun off by Comcast (and NBC) leaving them as a cable channel without news network support. Not to mention that Maddow is on Trump's enemy list and he had mentioned her multiple times. So, her voice needs to continue, and a podcast is not going to be an effective alternative. Likewise, those of her remaining colleagues.

Maddow walked the line in terms of calling out her "superiors". I get it. She's thinking not only of herself but the remaining show hosts AND staffers AND workers. Keith has righteous rage--as do we all--but he's not the one having to traverse this minefield.
