Does MSNBC want to rid itself of Liberal shows altogether? It would
seem they are attempting to become Faux lite and shedding their liberal shows, one at a time (Shuster won't be back) is a way of completing their agenda. Phil Griffin, a republican? I don't know his politics but whether Keith did not get approval or not, his suspension without pay appears to have jumped the shark IMO...

1. No, that is pure nonsense. They wouldn't have just created Lawrence O'Donnell's show if they wanted
to get rid of liberal shows.

4. I don't understand why they'd let such a money-maker go. Sounds cold, but
it's a for-profit corporation after all.

5. Whether they are doing so now or not is debateable
But if the Comcast takeover is allowed to happen, that definitely WILL be the case. Comcast is a horribly right wing company, and their hostility to MSNBC (i.e. moving it to the most expensive tiers of digital channels) is well established.
