Why is Andy Lack kissing the ass of a president with a 57% disapproval rating any way?

2. Who is Andy Lack???

5. Lack is a Trump hack who obviously has his back

Unidentified sources told HuffPost, however, that NBC News and MSNBC Chairman Andy Lack “is no fan of O’Donnell’s program." They added that Lack only believes O’Donnell, who has been with MSNBC since 2009, is enjoying his recent ratings surge is because of the strong lead-in provided by "The Rachel Maddow Show."

3. He's not...

...unless you have evidence he's planning to bring pro-Trump talent onto the network.

9. Are you paying attention, brooklynite..?

Hugh Hewitt, Greta VanSusterin are already there... While other conservatives are not seemingly pro-Trump, eliminating the non-Trump supporting hosts equates to the same thing. Why are you seemingly offering support/defense to Andrew Lack??????

[brooklynite]

10. Hewitt is a conservative pundit, not a host.

Every network has a mix of speakers, and I'm not afraid to hear an opinion I disagree with. Van Susterin is former Fox talent, but I haven't seen any sign of being "pro-Trump".

And, if you haven't seen Van Susterin defend Trump, I dare say you've not been paying attention.

Which again makes me wonder, what is it about Andrew Lack that has you defending him?

And Lack along with his 1% cronies in the boardroom stand to benefit greatly from Trump's tax cuts...

7. For money. n/t

8. When Cumulus media bought KGO, changed their format, and fired most of their talk show hosts, many

who were progressive back in 2011, their ratings have been dropping ever since

I suspect MSNBC will feel the same results if they keep going the way they are going

[spiderpig]

16. KGO topped Bay Area ratings for 25 straight years.

They crowed about it, and I was an avid listener.

Then they lowered the axe and I haven't listened since.

Are they still around? They used to be KGO 810 (jingle).

18. Ever since the 2011 meltdown I haven't listened since

Ironically for such a progressive city, they have very little local progressive talk

[chowder66]

12. Naively, I was thinking maybe they were trying to get viewers to educate. So much for that theory.

13. At first I thought you said Andy Dick

and wondered WTF.

Sorry. Never mind.

14. You aren't the only one - LOL

That is what I think too!

[bdjhawk]

15. Need to share on Twitter, FB, etc

Get the word out on what is happening and get people to contact higher ups at NBC. Lack clearly is moving this network away from smart, investigative journalism and handing it over to the right wingers. The control over the media of the right wing is why I am so pessimistic about the future of our country.
