    Is there any chance O'Donnell's three days had more actual newsworthy stories happening?

    Jay Leno wants the time slot.

    Absolutely. Comcast is going hard right. Maybe a little less batshit crazy than Fox.

    Ratigan better polish his resume too.

    The shelf life of MSNBC's liberal slant s roughly that of the band-aid on Al Davis' forehead.

    I could see Maddow and KO both ending up on CNN, as they were the only 2 talents getting any sort of ratings for MS. But, then again, probably not.

    Because you think it's good for business or because you think Comcast will do it for other (political) reasons?

    What are Roberts' personal politics, does anyone know?

    I thought Kabletown bought NBC?

    All over the map. He seems to favor incumbents.

    I suppose that's pretty standard for a big business -- especially a highly regulated one.

    Let's hear some more about that liberal bias running the media. Snort.

    If you can't beat 'em, just buy 'em out. It's the American Way.

    Which is fine and dandy, but I can't wait to hear about the liberal bias in the media. It's one thing to hear about it at the barber shop, quite another on this board.

    The media has and will always be run by old white men who have a giant stake in keeping the establishment the establishment. This is just the latest proof. Not that we should have needed any.

    Intentionally waited three pages -- and read everything -- before saying a word.

    I'm blaming Comcast, specificially, and will be shocked if I'm wrong, in this instance. They clearly
    want to back off on the most pointed commentary, gutless homogonizing greedheads that they are.

    Maddow is essentially KO lite, right down to her verbal cadences, and agree I wouldn't be surprised if
    she's gone by the time the major-league baseball championship seasons begin.

    I'd think Matthews is safe. Would be a good thing, if they give a shit about the asset, because without Matthews, there'd be no reason to watch MSNBC any longer.
