I've seen this twice now and never see a credible link.

that took quotes from the Page Six article. lol

Sometimes these gossip rags are telling the truth, I guess we will have to wait and see.

Since when do we take those sites literally?

Same could be said of the folks who believe that someone in the WH has a rogue Twitter account. lol Guess they're clinging to hope that someone in that RWNJ inner circle are pretending to be a Repug. Bannon and the alt-right folks behind that account are prob laughing their asses off-- Dontcha' think?

The person I responded to wanted a link to an article and I gave it to them. You should be asking the person who started this thread-- Bc I'm pretty sure they got the news from Page Six.

I was essentially agreeing with you and corroborating what you said.

FWIW, I think the rogue Twitter staffer thing is typical twitter folly, too.

Sometimes it's difficult to tell on this site. haha


The person who started the thread used "chopping block" and "a better Fox" in their comments. Both were used in the Page Six article.

Put references to an original article in a Murdoch publication on other sites. Then all the sudden there are all these multiple articles that show up in a google search. Al Franken explained this tactic really well in his "Lying Liars" book.

real investigative journalists and seem to be hitting back hard lately (from what I've read online). Hoping they're ratcheting up as true journalists. In any case, I've been sticking with Democracy Now, Thom Hartmann, David Pakman, some TYT (though they get on my nerves at times), and newspapers, such at the NY Times, WaPo, Mother Jones, etc.

Who has been on their station the longest? Maddow?

I stopped watching them after Keith was fired-- Hopefully Joy will find a better job with an online source.

I think he's difficult. I didn't know they'd fired Joy Reid, though. Huh? She seems like a rising star to me.

If I were going to watch a news station it would be CNN-- Trump has called them fake news for a reason. Plus, they are hiring an investigative news team with Carl Bernstein to counter the BS coming from the WH.

Olbermann may be difficult, but he's better than most of the "talent" that's at MSNBC right now! The man knows how to write an opinion piece.

I actually find him a bit pompous, I like him better when he's funny, but that's beside the point. I don't know how he butts heads with the people around him, but it seems to happen everywhere. Is he working for Esquire now?

I knew what you meant. He's been fired from Fox Sports, ESPN, and Current TV-- All of those places called him 'difficult'. lol

I don't think he's pompous at all-- He's on the same level as Maddow to me. Both are very capable of carrying a smart news program.

He acted like he was the second coming of Edward R. Murrow or something. I appreciate him more when he drops the act and is just himself.

People would rather have a pretty mannequin reading a teleprompter instead of someone who has a brain-- Keith is better than 80 Don Lemons, 90 Megyn Kellys, 110 Matt Lauers, 130 Brian Williams, and 1000 Rob Ducys.

I don't want mindless drivel!!

probably because he was ranting too fast.

That's something that never happened to Murrow.

But we can't have people going out in the world without the approved corporate news talking points now can we?

They went and got middle of a Saturday afternoon (dead time) host Joe Scarborough.

The bad people are taking over before our very eyes. The election was
dirty and the right wing/steve bannon power play has been going ever
since.

Can't let the people hear the truth either.

These chuckle heads seem to have forgotten their 5 pm. to 9 pm, slots used to be the best watched cable news shows. Getting rid of joy will be the last straw for me. This will be another reason to turn those miserable cowards off forever.

If that talentless box blonde gets any where near Joy's spot, they will lose the last 5,000 people watch their shit shows.

She's the best thing on MSNBC since MHP.

Seems like every time I see her show, she has some Fox regular on. Tonight she was having Steve Miller, Jeff Sessions right-hand man on her show. I went to the local news. Not watching Fox crap on MSNBC.

MSNBC will make a huge mistake if they don't sign Joy Reid up, she is go good and on the ball, I love to watch her, They need to put Andrea Mitchell out to pasture.

We hear MSNBC anchor Joy Reid may also be on the chopping block.

“They haven’t renewed her contract. She’s been working without a contract for at least a month,” an insider told us.

An MSNBC spokesperson, however, insisted that Reid “is working under contract. And the network wants her to stay.”

A rep for NBC said, “The only thing Andy Lack is interested in ‘tilting toward’ is even more good journalism.”

I'm not buying this until we get a better source. She is extremely popular and they have her on the nightly shows all the time.

Yeah, I won't believe it til I see it from something more reputable than a Murdock rag.

That said...

I STILL think it's a good idea to let these folks know we loyal viewers will NOT ACCEPT a Pox-Noise-Lite, and we will leave if we see that happening. You touch Joy Reid at your OWN job's peril.

DO INDEED go ahead and register your complaint. This could be a planted trial balloon to gauge public opinion. If they start getting lots of shit for this, then perhaps it will slow them down. They can't afford to lose any viewers.

I even mentioned to consider Keith Olberman, That would keep me watching.

Although this handle is new I was a member of DU for many years. I haven't been here for quite a while and I have to say the quality of the posts.... ain't what they used to be. Hell I remember when you wouldn't dare post an opinion without 5 citations to back it up lol.

Everyone can go ahead and tell me to fuck off and leave then. *shrug*

The air. If the cable channel thinks it can succeed as Fox lite, good luck to them, they will see their mistake soon enough.

My hubby still likes to watch. He has it on now and I left the room. I just can't watch their bs anymore and getting rid of Joy Reid was no shock. When they hired Greta I realized no way I am ever going back to be a regular viewer ever again.

They are going to lose even more viewers if they become fox lite.

stop this crap.

these are the best to contact as they have the real power.

Below are mostly SALES contact info. HOWEVER, the President and Gen Manager should know how you feel and sales people won't will definitely tell their bosses if they are flooded with calls about the network hosting childish idiots like c oulter.

PLUS, you can bet that the business/corporate e-mail addresses of all MSNBC employees are similar to the ones below.

Most networks expect to be flooded with the special pages and generic e-mail addresses they set up for the viewers and have traditional ones not generally accessible to the public other than other businesses.... or those of us that buy media....

All these people need to hear from us.

reads, or maybe some clerk who notes any large # of posts on a particular topic. We appreciate inside info when we can get it!

Calling sales VPs is a great way to go. I tell them that I will contact their sponsors and tell them I'll stop buying their products if they continue to buy ad time. I find it is very effective. I also note that I am with a group of 100,000 people and will encourage them to do the same.

Happy Calling!
