5. It's Comcast, they don't care

It's a delivery system for corporate propaganda, but they already have plenty of those, so it wouldn't surprise me if Comcast is actively considering dumping the entire MSNBC network. As I understand it, they have pitiful ratings and many of their newsreaders and pundits are little more than hacks in the first place. (Even Fox with much better ratings, still loses money for Newscorp, but of course Murdoch has a whole other agenda).

Comcast is probably losing a ton of money on this turkey which is a lot to spend just so Morning Joke, Chris Mathews, Ms Greenspan, and Baby Russert can pull down a ginormous paycheck.

You'll probably wake up one morning and turn it on, and it will just not be there anymore. And very few people will miss it.
