The action
MSNBC announced Wednesday that it is making a major change to its lineup.
Starting Monday, "The Ed Show" will be moved to the prime 8 PM slot. Lawrence O'Donnell's "The Last Word" will be moved to 10 PM, where it began before it was shifted to 8 PM following Keith Olbermann's departure from the network.
Rachel Maddow, the network's highest-rated host, will stay where she is at 9 PM.
The reaction
People are saying:
1) O'donnell has one of the most credible voice in TV. he consistently rises above the media hoopla and presents an intelligent and eloquent appraisal of the politics of the day.
2) Unfortunately for msnbc, their demographic is from the 21st century, and are able to get their news from a great many sources. Whereas, fixed news viewers have to leave their tvs on the same channel or they'll forget where to find it.
3) What this really means is that Phil Griffin should be fired. It's safe to say that he let his personal feelings about Olbermann cloud his judgement and it's cost his network hundreds of thousands of viewers. His unprofessional behavior translated directly into viewership loss.
4) Why does Phil Griffin still have a job?
Olberman brought Maddow to MSNBC
5) What's amusing in many of the conservative comments here is that they equate ratings with quality. The fact that Fox has higher ratings than MSNBC just confirms that tv in general tends to attract, shall we say, not the brightest bulbs. No big surprise that tv watchers tend to gravitate to a network that dumbs things down.
6) Liberal commentary will never beat conservative commentary on tv or radio. There's too much critical thinking involved with liberal commentary. Conservative commentary appeals to the lowest common denominators: fear and h8.
7) Good for Ed. He may not have the poise or polish of some commentators, but he is a truly good person, who spent maximum time in Madison, Wisconsin getting the real story.
