1. The problem with 'liberal TV' is that liberals don't sit our their asses in front of the TV...like conservatives and very old cranks tend to do.
Fox News is for the sedentary. MSNBC is for whom...?
There is always an excuse why the leftists fail to be successful at anything. It's never their fault, of course. It's always the fault of the VRWC.

4. They just totally restructured their online availability too. Not sure I'm liking it... started yesterday. Now I have to reset all my links to the shows I like and hope they will show them on the same day as they used to. I don't have TeeVee so I watch news online. A lot of places, like CSPAN want you to log in to watch. If I have to log in to watch, I have other things I'd rather be doing.
there is that, of course.

6. Joe S has terrible ratings and the show is
awful and one sided = RW bullshit. How in the hell that show remains on is beyond me.

14. Say that again . . .
The change in daytime programming represents a conscious shift by the network away from more opinionated hosts and towards a more news-focused lineup.
Yet they keep Morning Joe?
By the way, did he ever plead guilty to murdering the female aide found dead in his district office?

Yes... the left is great at slandering the people they hate.

16. It's a shame about Joy Reid. Phil Griffin, MSNBC's president in the one that should be fired. He gave Joy a terrible time-slot when she should have been in prime time. The strong pundit you saw during the presidential election had her wings clipped.
Phil Griffin is a Republican who has been with MSNBC since the 1990's. If you recall during the 1990's, MSNBC was exclusively right-wing. you mean, back when their rating were pretty good? Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, Michael Savage and Tucker Carlson were all host with MSNBC. Unless, they get rid of Phil Griffin, the whole network is doomed. He was the idiot who fired their best host, Keith Obermann. From that point on everything he has done has been a blunder. If I want to build a strong hen-house- you don't hire a wolf as contractor. But MSNBC has put a conservative in charge of so called liberal shows.
Of course...

25. Joy Reid is a great talent and honorable person. She refused to toe the line bashing POTUS on the prayer breakfast speech. She did not fall for the fear mongering about the Muslim religion. I will follow her wherever she ends up. I hope we can hear more from her. She is a very smart person.
I still like the Rev, Ed, and Chris Hayes. I do not like Kornacki on the weekends, he just does not have the chops that Hayes had for the weekend show. I always watched Chris Hayes on the weekends and learned a lot and then generally watched Melissa Harris Perry. Kornacki is taking her ratings down, I bet. Hayes' evening show is good and always informative, the weekend show was one of the best morning shows created.
Ed Schultz needs to stick with going after big oil and protecting unions. He does a really great job when he is talking about the environment and working class issues.
I like the Rev just because he does care for ordinary people. He has started doing a little more of a lightweight show and I do not care for it as much. It seems to me he does not care for the current format either.
Good luck to Joy Reid. MSNBC needs to can Mrs. Greenspan, her show is unwatchable unless you like the usual right wing propaganda. She is terrible and has trouble speaking now. It is a disgrace that Scarborough has a show.
I wonder why her popularity is waining?

29. What they need to cancel are the jail shows.
And bring back Olbermann.
MSNBC is toast. Bank it.

How bad do one's ratings have to be to get kicked off the air from MesSNBC?!
The, "We're not couch potatoes," argument might work, were it not for the abject failure of Err America. One can listen to radio just about anywhere, yet Err America crashed and burned. And libtalk shows are a shadow compared to conservatalk shows in the syndication marketplace (even in the SF Bay Area!).

Why do DUmmies not watch liberal TV......you can't watch liberal TV while you're still running with the stolen big screen TV.

Jail shows huh?.....for the past couple of weeks I've been watching "Bait Car" and "Alaska State Troopers". The usual crooks stealing the bait car is always either black or Hispanic....white privilege I guess.
"Alaska State Troopers" ....seems all or most of their crooks have moved up to Alaska from the wonderful blue states of the left bank.

"Lockup" is one of their best shows. "Jail" is okay.

Al Jeezera America gets higher rating than MSNBC.
Some MSNBC shows get lower ratings than ERRMERICA did, back in it's hayday.
I did tune in to ERRMERICA once on XM radio and caught some of Al Franken's "show".
Worst 45 seconds of my life...

Well Dutch it certainly seems the DUmp has a real sadon for M$NBC. As expected with such an important topic there is a proliferation of threads over there bemoaning the wheels coming off the Donkey Cart called M$NBC. In this thread, they invoke the great Scent [smells like a commie to me] Uygur, Truth teller extraordinaire. :rotf:

1. K&R +1000
Cenk Uygur speaks the truth.
I wonder what Maddow will do. I remember her from Air America when she did criticize the dems for having no backbone. Maybe she will come back to her roots. But don't know where she could.
What would be wonderful is if all the news was actually news and not leaning anyway but to the truth. Like Al Jazeera America. Like the old CBS, Fred Friendly and Edward R Murrow. But that won't ever happen.

4. I have no problem with MSNBC runing hard news for a couple of hours in the afternoon
Who watches TV in the daytime? I'm sorry for Joy Reid, I liked her. But MSNBC still runs 6 hours of Democratic, left/Progressive TV from 5:00 pm through 11:00 pm; Ed Schultz, The Rev, Chris Matthews, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. Now we can disagree as to how far center left to far left each host is, but the point is, it's at least a counterpoint to all the far right crap out there.
The worse thing they did was put Scarboro on in the morning. That was death to me.
But if we don't support the team from 5:00 - 11:00 pm, then we have no one to blame but ourselves if we lose MSNBC and the only left leaning commentators on broadcast/cable tv.
But, as we all know, what this really all stems from is Rush Limbaugh's ban on using M$NBC clips on his show and the VRWC. :popcorn: Yes, DUmmies, it is true, Rush has singlehandedly dealt a death blow to the Left Wing M$NBC programing lineup. :rotf: And considering the number of DU posts about Limbaugh ipso facto DU must also make up a large share of Rush's audience thus depriving them from hearing about the lunatics on M$NBC. Yeah, there's the ticket, El Rushbo's one man campaign has killed M$NBC. :crybaby:

Liberals don't sit around on their ass all day? Your forum is full of losers scamming disability.

You want to know why MSNBC is failing ?
The average Democrat knows that blaming Bush better than six years into the Obama administration rings hollow. -Only you power leftists on DU, KOS and other online asylums still believe that Karl Rove is the bogeyman under your beds.

It's the only thing on the entire network that remotely approaches sanity, yet fails to do so regularly?

Who needs left leaning commentators when the entire cable news, excepting Fox is left leaning. Even the network news is left leaning, so who needs the redundant MSNBC commentators to rehash the talking points from the White Mosque.

They are too busy to watch TV when they sit their asses in front of computer monitors all day and post stuff on DU that only makes sense to the like minded.

There are dummies over there that seem to do nothing but watch MSNBC. They all call the various hosts by their first names and provide a running commentary of who said what on the crappy programs every single day. They won't know what to do with themselves when their unofficial Obama spokespersons are finally shit-canned.

Failure, must be justified by approved TalkingPoints®.

:thatsright: They were lying, too, Jackass. Truth, to you, is hearing what you want to hear. That's why you are a broken, stupid organism.

Scrappy only pays attention to the TV if there are other dogs on. Dog TV is a lot of POV sniffing-around-stuff with the occasional dog on screen. He gets more excited during the Westminster-type shows.

MSNBC President Phil Griffin’s personnel and programming changes are part of a larger move away from the left-wing political commentary that has become MSNBC’s trademark toward straight news reporting.
“Everybody in the food chain from top to bottom understands that the Olbermann era is over,†said one of the sources. “Going left was a brilliant strategy while it lasted and made hundreds of millions of dollars for Comcast, but now it doesn’t work any more…The goal is to move away from left-wing TV.â€
