First they bring on Greta Von Frightface, who just had Scott Walker -- Scott Walker! -- as her esteemed guest. And they make Rachel Maddow do an embarrassing promo for her ("Give her a chance! You'll love her!&quot . Then they run those crap promos with Cruz and Graham being all playful and kissing ("It's why you watch!" Heh heh...NO.).

Sure, they cancelled Morning Schmoe, but it's probably to make room for the toadlike Sean Hannity, Dumpster's favorite butt boy.

UPDATE: Now I can't find my source. It must have been -- ahem -- deleted. But I certainly saw comments hoping that the slot would be given to Joy Reid, who is currently exiled to the weekends and needs a bigger platform.


We still have Joy, Lawrence and Chris Hayes, but how long will it be before they're made to toe the line or disappeared altogether?

Thanks, Comcast. Way to silence progressive voices.

1. MSNBC is trying to compete with Fox News

by projecting an image of fair and balanced.
Good luck with that!

[KittyWampus]

5. Then they wouldn't have Reid, Hayes, Maddow and O'Donnell on.

[KittyWampus]

2. Nope. I watch Hayes, Maddow and O'Donnell every night...

and occasionally watch Brian Williams.

[shraby]

10. I watch Hayes, Maddow and O'Donnell and Brian Williams every night too.

Brian Williams is doing a pretty good job leaning left for a change.

Maddow can't be beat on being informative as is O'Donnell. Hayes needs to learn how to take charge of the conversation a little better, but definitely left leaning as the others.

21. That's true

Williams is working on holding Dumpy's feet to the fire. And yes, Chris has got to stop that frat boy act and go for the throat like Joy does. Now is not the time for pussyfooting...

3. They haven't cancelled Morning Joe.

The ratings are in the pits, but it's still there.

[thegoose]

22. I must have seen a rumor post

It's gone now. I can't find it. Sigh.

[shraby]

36. Turn the channel. Anything is better than joe

[jehop61]

4. I have

no idea what you are posting about!

[rzemanfl]

6. Bless you for saying "toe the line" rather than "tow the line" which makes me crazy. n/t

[etherealtruth]

34. Mine is saying "butt" naked instead of buck naked :-(

[blue neen]

7. When was Morning Joe cancelled?

I missed that announcement. It would be wonderful if it's true!

[bravenak]

9. I missed that too. I'd have boughten wine if I knew

[blue neen]

12. A case of wine!

[bravenak]

13. I hate that show so much

[blue neen]

14. Honestly, I can't even watch it for 5 minutes.

Morning Joe, Andrea Mitchell, Greta Van Susteren are all unwatchable.

[bravenak]

15. It's Mika. The way she acts with Joe makes me ill.

I will never watch Greta or Megyn. Ever. Or Andrea the Hillary hater

[blue neen]

16. Andrea the Hillary Hater!

It was sooooo obvious during the campaign. Andrea and her Republican husband, Alan Greenspan, are disgusting.

[Raster]

28. I would not be surprised if Mika doesn't dry-hump Joe Scar's leg....

...in an attempt to boost ratings.

I tuned in to Morning Schmoe one time... watched for five minutes and turned it off.

And yes, FUCK COMCAST!

[bravenak]

29. I can imagine her doing that

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

31. Yup, refuse to watch MSNBC til it takes that crap off the air.

[thegoose]

18. I saw a post on one of the remaining progressive sites but now it seems to be gone

Hmmm...

[meadowlark5]

8. I was watching Wolf Blitzer and it was actually quite tolerable

Good panel, everyone seem informed and rational. No slobbering over Trump in the time I was watching.

Honestly, people, DON'T WATCH GRETA! If her ratings and numbers look good they'll keep her. If they aren't they'll get rid of her. I can't understand why any progressive/liberal/dem would watch her show?

[Rustyeye77]

11. Bring back KO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eleny]

17. I watch Lawrence and Joy and an occasional select segments of Rachel

There are only so many hours in the day to devote to tv anyway.

[Mika]

19. Stopped watching MSNBC the moment Chris Hayes thanked racist Steve King & invited him back anytime.

I simply don't watch it or any cable nooz anymore.

[skylucy]

20. I refuse to watch Greta Van Sustern. Just not interested at all.But I watch Joy,Rachel,Chris H. and

Lawrence. If CNN has any Trump shills on during Chris Matthews show, I will also watch him. I actually feel kind of empowered from just NOT WATCHING GRETA!!! Try it. Send MSNBC an email and tell them that you are a regular viewer but you switch to CNN during the Greta show. And then do it.

[Tatiana]

23. I pretty much left when Keith O did.

Other than a few moments of brilliance from Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid and Lawrence O'Donnell, the channel is no longer worth watching. Hayes and Maddow have to bend over too far backward to please their corporate overlords.

[malaise]

24. Sorry Rachel could have said no to that promo

No one forced her. I would have left the job rather than do it - you either have convictions or you don't.

[thegoose]

27. Indeed!

[doc03]

26. They cancelled Morning Joe and his GF? nt

[Vinca]

30. I can't stand watching Greta.

Besides her horrendous political guests, there is something about her voice that is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

[Iggo]

32. Long time ago.

TV news is lies.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

33. No

But threads like these do disgust me . Welcome to DU.

[spanone]

35. i was driving today with m$nbc and they had fucking larry kudlow on ....ugh

THEY ARE LOST.

[Blue_true]

37. On the night of November 8, 2016, I stopped

Watching televised news and cable. I have watched about 3 hours of local news since for local news and weather.
