According to three sources, Trump has pressured MSNBC President Phil Griffin to fire O’Donnell on multiple occasions. Griffin alluded to Trump’s push for O’Donnell’s ouster in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter last month, saying, “[Trump] started calling me all the time in 2011 to say Lawrence O’Donnell was a ‘third-rate’ anchor.” Griffin and O’Donnell enjoy a cordial relationship but Griffin’s power as the President of MSNBC has been diminished by Lack since he returned in 2015. As a result, Lack will be the one to decide whether O’Donnell stays and under what terms.

1. And that's just one more compelling reason to keep him on, no matter what it takes!

Lawrence has been standing up and speaking out, we need his voice! The media needs to stand up to this control freak who wants to turn this country into Putin's USSR.

2. K & R +1000

Two reasons I tune into MSNBC (actually cable news at all) - Lawrence Odonnell and Rachel Maddow

3. Lawrence has been nailing him for months

and should be rewarded. I have written several times yet they'll probably fire him and hire another ex- Fox loser. Joy should get a nightly time slot too. What's up with MSNBC? They are finally becoming more credible after the election and they go and pull this crap?!

4. What's Trump's beef with

The O’Donnell family, Lawrence and Rosie??

5. drumpf can not be allowed to control the media with his abuse and lies.

Lawrence O'Donnell is the voice of truth and MSNBC needs to hear from all of US. The so called Free Press would no longer be free.

6. Yet...

Yet...Fox News cried when Obama so much as said one negative thing about them! So, Fox News anchors, did Obama ever try to get one of you fired???

7. Exactly.

8. Signed the petition....

and contributed. Trump is attempting to dismantle the entire form of government in our country. This must be stopped immediately. Even if Trump WAS elected legally (which he wasn't) the people of this country voted to elect a President, not a dictator or Russian Oligarch. State censorship is the first step toward a totalitarian government.

9. I RESPECT LAWRENCE O'DONNELL FOR STANDING UP TO BILL O'REILLY

That was no small feat when Lawrence stood up for Bill's victim on Lawrence's show...by allowing his show to in jeopardy of defamation or libel.

I do not remember a journalist ever making a stand for an underdog.

11. Lack Better Resign Him

If he does not and brings in another non liberal like Greta he better be ready for the blowback.
