How do we get Nachman (MSNBC) fired?
I just saw him say that in his heart of hearts he believes liberals think minorities are genetically inferior and need special help.

8. He appears ill....
I have nothing to justify that statement. If he is not ill he may of had gastic surgery,or something on that line because weight loss is evident.

11. He had his own show and then he went off sick for several months
I'm not sure exactly what the problem was - now don't quote me on it, but it may be cancer.

2. Why was he hired in the first place?
When he was news director of WCBS-TV in NYC he managed to MISS both the blizzard of the century AND Princess Diana's death.

5. Ah, Nachoman...
Formerly Jabba the host. He's always kind of struck me as just left of center, but I admit I don't see him that often. That was a pretty dumb thing to say, tho...

7. Why isn't Scarborough canned?
for having his law partner on talking about
a case they are working on, dissing the opposing
company, unbeknownst to the viewing public.
I would think that's grounds for the
opposing client to get the case dismissed.

12. Heck, We Haven't Been Able to Shed Tweety

1) who triggered a gun incident from his on-air blather on MSRNC.
2) who has the lowest ratings on cable.
3) who executed DONAHUE on DONAHUE's own show.
4) who recruited SCAROROUGH.
5) who gets TONS of negative e-mails.

13. Nachman WON'T be fired
He has cancer. He's fighting cancer.

Do you really think they'll fire him now?

He would have a huge lawsuit against them if they did.

14. Are you sure it's cancer
I thought he had by-pass surgery about nine months ago, resulting
in a lot of weight loss. Didn't hear about the cancer.

18. cites
MSNBC editor in chief Jerry Nachman is also doing some personal research in oncology. The cable curmudgeon has been diagnosed with a gallbladder malignancy. The "Nachman" host said last night: "The doctors say the test results are, in their words, very reassuring ... But this will require some down time ... I hope President Bush waits till I'm back to invade anyplace." Knowing Jerry, don't put your money on the tumor.

MSNBC's Nachman has cancer
NEW YORK (AP) -- MSNBC talk show host Jerry Nachman has been diagnosed with cancer after having his gallbladder removed.

Nachman, who's also MSNBC's vice president and editor-in-chief, told viewers Tuesday that he'll be gone several weeks while he undergoes treatment. The cable channel wouldn't divulge his age or provide further details Wednesday, other than to say he has a "gallbladder malignancy." "I told you last month that I'd had my gallbladder plucked out. Well, as my mother would have said in a frightened whisper, they found something. So, in the technical language of surgery, they're going back in," Nachman said during his late-afternoon show.

Doctors have told him they're pleased with test results, "but this will require some down time." "So don't go too far. I'll see you pretty soon," he said. "I hope President Bush waits 'til I'm back to invade anyplace he might decide to invade. If not, take good notes and let me know what I missed."

MSNBC hired Nachman, a longtime TV and radio journalist and former New York Post editor, as its No. 2 executive in April to help compete with Fox News Channel and CNN, which have dominated the channel in the ratings.

17. Nachman is VICE PRESIDENT and EDITOR IN CHIEF of MSNBC.
Edited on Tue Sep-16-03 06:01 PM by tjdee
That's the only reason he even got a show with his "radio looks".

He got a cute little set, even though nobody knew who he was.

That should answer your question, and also tell you a lot about MSNBC.

19. send him an e-mail
That's what I usually do. We need to start letting people know when they've stepped over the line. We don't have to go out and try to get them fired - but at least let them know that we're unhappy.
