Alex Wagner signs off

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

One of the good ones. Going to miss her show.

Phil Donahue, Keith Olbermann, Cenk Uyger, Ed Schultz, Alex Wagner, Ashleigh Banfield, Soledad on CNN........funny how the "lib'rul media" keeps canning the outspoken progressives, but rightwingers like Morning Joe are unfireable, despite their low ratings.

But, no worries, folks!

The Choad is coming soon!

and he's bringing all his beltway cocktail party buddies like Pat Buchanan and Bill Kristol with him!

1. Fuck you Comcast.

Comcast you are a POS...thank GAWD we don't have you and never will.

Toady?



Never, EVER watch him and never will.

[madamesilverspurs]

2. MSNBC is foxifying itself.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

5. Returning to the days when they gave shows to Alan Keyes and Savage Weiner

Phil Griffin is the new Jerry Nachman.

[oldandhappy]

3. We do not have to watch Chuck.

We have more power than we think we do. Do Not Watch.

[Ed Suspicious]

4. I feel the toad becoming the most hated man in America.

[SCVDem]

6. Thanks Comcast!

Now I have a lot of free time.

Would/does Rachel self-censor? She's my last reason to watch MSNBC. Forward just slammed into reverse!

I'm glad I have a Chromecast. Now anything is on the big screen. FSTV for instance.

Up Chuck!

[Ernest Partridge]

20. I love Rachel, but....

When did you last here her take on the military budget? But she sure loves to travel to Afghanistan, ride the copters, shmooze with "the troops" and wear those Army fatigues.

And when has she given serious attention to genuine election (not voter) fraud -- i.e., those unverifiable, GOP owned and operated electronic voting machines, and to the disparity with exit polls.

And when did she last invite Noam Chomsky on her show? When did she interview a Russian official to hear their point of view? Maybe someone like UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, or journalist Vladimir Pozner, all of whom speak flawless English.

Never, to my knowledge. And nowhere else on MSNBC.

There are limits in our "free press" beyond which no "journalist" dares to venture.

Just ask Phil Donahue.

7. I am so sad about this...

I've always thought Alex was one of the sharpest hosts on MSNBC... She was thoughtful, witty, and very funny... I liked her noontime panel show better... before she moved to DC and took the 4PM slot. Her show reminded me of Up with Chris Hayes on weekend mornings. Unfortunately, her 4PM show followed the same tired MSNBC formula of repeating the stories of the day in four or five segment blocks.

Is she really being replaced by Chuck Todd? Ugh.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

8. Lawrence O'Donnell tweeted that he plans on having Alex on his show a lot

But, of course, the question is: How long are the networks primetime hosts safe?

I figure Griffin's ax is going to swing in that direction soon.

MSNBC and Morning JoeDeadIntern have been whining about O'Donnell going after Trump. He's probably next on the list.

They still haven't figured out that their ratings have been a mess because they lost Keith and screwed up a solid and strong liberal line-up.

[appalachiablue]

10. +1 Ax is right, and Morning Dead Not Joke-

[appalachiablue]

9. Alex is very sharp. Last year on Bill Maher I saw her real side I believe, and it was very left.

[NYCButterfinger]

11. Why is Chuck Todd not liked?

He's a good political numbers type of guy, he did great for the 2008 and 2012 campaigns, broke numerous political headlines, but what is it about him that most people don't like?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

12. Many reason:

For one, he ended NBC's long overdue ban on the racist, homophobic and anti-semitic defender of Hitler, Pat Buchanan:

His guest line-up on MTP skews heavily rightwing, and the show is still "Sunday Brunch with John McCain and Lindsay Graham"

but, mostly, he's just another clueless beltway hack, with a total inability to think out side of the so-called "conventional wisdom" of millionaire pundits

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. Let me answer your question/videos with a video.

[SusanaMontana41]

14. GREAT video. Thanks for sharing it. What a prick. n/t

[DashOneBravo]

15. And POTUS

And a few others showed up at Andrews AFB when the US Ambassador, an IT guy and two former/retired SEALs who worked for a private contractor came home.

[zeemike]

16. How many times have we heard that excuse Chuck Toad gave now?

It's too complicated, there is not the votes in the congress...We even hear it here on DU all the time.
And so things continue on and on whether we have a Dem or a Repuuke in office.

[maddiemom]

19. Schkowsky informed and adding to the discussion. Leno honestly curious and asking serious questions

(as he has long experience in doing when he cares to). Todd smirking and smug and making PTB excuses. Missed this at the time, so thank you for a great example.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

17. Don't forget this gem...

[rocktivity]

23. And let's not forget his debut as Meet The Press host

rocktivity

[stuffmatters]

18. I'd add Krystall Ball to that list

Ball has been a really informed and eloquent liberal voice.

[Hekate]

21. I am going to miss Alex....

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

22. I read your list and realized these are all people I liked

And each one of them got shit canned. I'm not going to be watching MSNBC or NBC if I can at all help it.

[wordpix]

24. why was she canned? Maybe it was her idea? Does she have an offer?

I always really liked Alex and her take on the news. ????
