MSNBC: Stupid Blunder or Deliberate "Going Out of Business" Sale?

[DemocracyInaction]

First reaction to the "Keith" thing was that whomever blew this from an appropriate inner office wrist slap into major over-reacting should be shit canned. Why? Because, of course, the vast majority of people watching MSNBC are liberals and they smell rat crap; and because Keith being their "anchor", so to speak, of their nightly lineup, that the ratings for everyone from Ed and Tweety to Rachel and Lawrence will also take a big hit. (In other words, the decision maker must be one fucking stupid business man). Ahhhhhh, then I said to myself that maybe the death of MSNBC is planned and this is a way to tell the others "sorry, here's your pink slip because we have had a massive drop in viewers"!

2. when I called griffin's office (before they shut down the line and changed his number) I told him

that I hope the network loses a fortune for their stupidity.

4. Agree

When they are this unaware of their viewers, it should lead to firing of corporate mis-managers. But, there is something so stinking here that it is very apparent that someone was digging around in the cellar to find a way to get rid of him or control him and that the money made off of MSNBC is of no importance compared to what they will make in the larger market because of the facism that is coming down the pike rapidly.

3. It was strategic - leading to MSNBComcast's November 15th reorg.
