Isn't Comcast going to, at some point soon, kill MSNBC?

[Syrinx]

I can't imagine Comcast will love Rachel or Ed for too long. They love the profits they bring in, but they hate their message.

I can't blame them if they don't, but I've got this fantasy where Ed and Rachel go to Current with Keith, and kick Fox's butt.

1. MSNBC seems to be killing itself...nt

2. That's quite a fantasy.

People have to know what Current is first. Besides a bunch of DUers, who watches it, or even know of its existence. Not even the well-known cable news channels come close to beating Fox. It's gonna take a lot more than Rachel, Ed and KO to bring the kind of number you're fantasizing about.

3. I know.

But CNN used to be good, and before that it was a startup.

Current isn't a start-up. But it could be like one.

I hope they've got a lot of money behind them.

4. That would be nice, tho'.

Ever since KO signed off in January from MSNBC, I stopped watching altogether so I'm sure the ratings went down somewhat.

Besides, I'm gonna drop Comcast soon so it's all good as far as I'm concerned.

5. Profit = desire to keep them on-air

For the most part.
