Major news anchor set to return to MSNBC, possibly during the 6 p.m. time slot

MSNBC continues to dump and replace programming as the network moves from the left to the center. While some names are being let go, an old face is about to return.

By what standard? TV needs to die.

It just suddenly occurred to me why the industry fights so hard against a la cart programming.

MSNBC sends Al Sharpton to an hour on Sundays. Expect Chris Hayes to do the same. Just because Brian Williams does seem to have positive relationships with many media members doesn't mean he deserves to be back on TV.

He's in the NBC,MSNBC Hall of Shame, along with the likes of Chuck Todd, Tom Brokaw, Chris Matthews, Michael Savage, and Alan Keyes.

I'll keep on watching Maddow, but if every telecast begins and ends with Trump, I might have to reconsider.

They are moving to the right, and they are doing so as an overreaction to Bernie Sanders running.

But then, I came of age in the industry when there was such a thing as journalistic ethics.

How long before Maddow is forced out?

Truly, truly sad to see what has become of MSNBC.

I won't be tuning in. Just the other day while watching the NBC Nightly News, I remarked how refreshing Lester Holt has been since taking over. A true professional, unlike the self-obsessed, pompous Williams.

I don't agree with the sentiment that MSNBC is "moving to the right." I think she want to be more like CNN during the day, then liberal op-ed at night.
