That would be my guess. Scarborough has way too much influence at MSNBC for some reason

I went out and cut the grass. Came back in and saw sekulo on MSNBC. Couldn't take the spin. Turning to Netflix will tune back in later.

The fact that Brian fudged something inconsequential has little meaning for me.

Brian Williams paid a terrible price for the kind of mistake any of us could make and probably have made, and I think hes handled the way his life was resultantly completely changed with grace and class.

(32,823 posts)... really, really likes Brian Williams.
It's because of Lack that Williams wasn't fired after his fiasco a few years ago. Remember when Williams lied about that Afghanistan story and he said his plane was shot at? Anybody else would have been fired, but Lack gave him a plum job at MSNBC instead of firing him. I think the plan was to get Williams back to the nightly news eventually, but Lester Holt is doing great in Brian's old slot.
Also Rachel does analysis very well, but they don't use her for reporting and anchoring. I'm not sure why that is, maybe Rachel doesn't want to do it.

(2,331 posts)She isn't a late breaking news personality. I think she prefers to analyze what has occurred and present her viewpoint rather than to be the person on TV as they are literally trying to read the report.
She will have read the whole thing by 9pm and will do an hour on nuances in the report none of us picked up on.
