Your liberal media, ladies and gentlemen!
MSNBC has formally decided to cancel three programs -- "The Cycle," "Now with Alex Wagner" and "The Ed Show" -- as part of a larger effort to shift its daytime lineup away from opinion programming, network sources told the On Media blog on Thursday.
Phil Griffin, the president of MSNBC, is expected to announce the cancellations as early as this evening, the sources said, though it is possible that he will announce each show's cancellation separately over multiple days. An MSNBC spokesperson declined to confirm or comment on the decision.
The fate of the three shows' hosts is unknown, though network sources said that both Alex Wagner and Ari Melber, a Cycle co-host and MSNBC's chief legal correspondent, are expected to stay with the network. One source said that Cycle co-hosts Abby Huntsman and Krystal Ball will be leaving the network.
I will miss Krystal Ball. She added a lot of insight to the network as a whole, not just The Cycle. And after Ari Melber did a stellar job filling in for Lawrence O'Donnell after his accident and long recovery, they darn well better not dump him. Abby Huntsman? Mehhhh. Let her go to Fox. There's a place for her there.
Rumor has it that the replacement for these shows will include a new daily Chuck Todd feature! Oooooh, hard news.
Chuck Todd as replacement for Ed Schultz? Comcast has won.
well i now must seek other forms of info for my daytime news looks like a lot of web searching is in my future looked for some sign of improved ratings since going right wing leaning but saw only news of their decline with present lineup.
question is will losing devout listeners like myself in daytime be made up by Fox devotees channel surfing or migrating?? for that to happen they have to compete which means getting as reprehensible, making up their own news and replace host with liars willing to sell their souls to the company and cheating us with sensationalism rather than real news.
how much of this change is about ratings and how much about NBC UNIVERSAL/COMCAST are right wing owned?????? we are giving them our country and have been for decades time to fight back or swallow the bile of right wing politics. how long before they screw with the prime time line up and lose even more viewers. my finger is inches away from that click that deletes them from my DVR favorites.
just a thought i notice of late Ed Shultz getting more and more combative in his reporting of Hillary and Pres. is that a last ditch effort to keep his job????????
Chuck Todd no tears here.
