In reply to the discussion: Ed Schultz OUT at MSNBC? [View all]ffr
(22,669 posts)56. Ed out? Someone's reading too much into that for sure.
It talks about making MSNBC more political and doing away with the popular, but muddy to that direction, prison shows. All it says is with regard to time slots, that there may be an opening, not that Ed Shultz is out. This is how rumors get started.
Besides, if MSNBC is turning liberal thinkers into TV watching drones like Faux is, why would they ruin a good thing?
But MSNBC is becoming like Fox in at least one respect: in the length of time viewers tune in. MSNBC, citing Nielsen data, said the most loyal subset of its audience watched for 139 minutes a day, on average, versus 145 minutes a day for hard-core viewers of Fox News.
