Who should MSNBC hire to attract more liberal viewers?
Edited on Thu Aug-19-04 08:18 PM by Eric J in MN
I think they should give Jeff Cohen of FAIR a chance to host his own show.

I saw him in "OutFoxed" and thought he had charisma, plus he has experience as one of the producers of the "Donahue" show on MSNBC.

and hire Bill Clinton and Jon Stewart.

I like Jon Stewart where he is.

2. Stop lying. Become reporters, not opinion anchors.

5. Ron Reagan - they already have him, but they
should use him and give him his own show. The man has character, charisma, logic and is capable of asking good, pointed questions....oh, I see the problem.

nude anchors, but don't know if it's still around. Was pretty funny. On the internet of course.

8. I think in Russia
they had stripping anchors because of losing interest and low ratings in news.

7. Beat Me Up But Geraldo was brilliant during the Impeachment
Murdoch has co-opted him anyway- Didn't he have a big falling out with MSNBC?

13. Funny, I used to like his show on MSNBC.
There were times Geraldo was really good and then he would turn around and do the tabloid shit again. Too bad. He could have been a star.

10. They had Bill Press and dumped him.
I know Bill's a little toward center, but I find him to be an old-fashioned journalist and we need that.

him redo the whole place.
