Why is George Will a regular on MSNBC?

[Cyrano]

No person I know has ever been capable of completing a George Will column.

The man sounds intelligent because he has an excellent vocabulary.

But being verbally affluent doesn't mean one's political (or human) judgment is sound.

George Will has backed every Republican piece of insanity from Nixon, through Reagan, through Bush II.

Now that an obviously insane man is in the White House, Will has decided that he'd better jump over to the other side of the fence in order to maintain a decent income.

Sorry, George. MSNBC may have bought you, but many of us out here know who and what you are.

2. Fox declines to renew contracts for several contributors

it's just a job to these pundits....they are like mercenaries for hire.

Fox News has declined to renew contributor contracts for longtime political commentator George Will, Republican strategist Ed Rollins and actress Stacey Dash, according to a network spokesperson.

Will, 75, is a Pulitzer-winning conservative columnist who was with ABC from 1981-2011 before coming to Fox in 2013.

In June of 2016, he declared he was leaving the Republican party because of Donald Trump, a decision the then-nominee appeared to embrace.

In 2015 and 2016, Will had periodically feuded with the network's highest-rated host, Bill O'Reilly, with Will once stating that O'Reilly's best-selling book, "Killing Reagan" was "nonsensical" and "The Factor" host calling Will "a hack" in a subsequent interview.

3. I discontinued "Newsweek" a couple decades ago...

and sent them a letter asking this same question: "Why George Will?"

I can hardly watch MSNBC anymore.

5. I like watching these guys turn on Trump. Get over it.

Adds to the mayhem when its not just us saying this stuff. Steve Schmidt, etc. add to the fire.

6. I love George Will

He's def one of the most knowledgeable writers about MLB out there.

7. Then let him get the hell out of politics and

go to work for ESPN.

Regardless of his sports knowledge, he's a political stooge who has backed every piece of Republican insanity -- until now when the insanity has become undeniable.

He's a right-wing whore who wouldn't work the streets until the whore house started to reek of the stench a bit too much for him.

8. Yeah, I don't see him the same way you do

Keep letting that hate fester inside you. lol

I stopped watching the networks a few years ago- there really isn't anything beneficial in seeing point/counter-point arguments being spewed across my screen. Most pundits are clueless dopes who are using talking points. Parroting a script isn't my idea of a good newscast. People eat that shit up like its some sorta game. I never understood those people - honestly I don't really want to understand them.
