In reply to the discussion: Ed Schultz OUT at MSNBC? [View all]aint_no_life_nowhere
(21,925 posts)41. I'd like to see somethig different - maybe Stephanie Miller, Janeane Garofalo
or another political satirist. Throughout the day we see one similar show after another on MSNBC, covering the same stories and often with the same Michael Steele, David Corn, or Ed Rendell as guests. I think some political humor could bring in ratings. There aren't too many Jon Stewarts out there but I'd like to see the network try to groom someone with that kind of show in mind or a roundtable Bill Maher style show with both serious discussion and laughs. Olbermann used to mix very serious discussion with uproariously funny segments goofing on conservatives and I miss that on MSNBC.

Ezra Klein bores the hell out of me. MSNBC is in a constant state of musical chairs
