Full Title: MSNBC Shakeup: The Cycle, Alex Wagner, Ed Show Canceled — Disgraced Anchor Brian Williams to the Rescue

MSNBC is expected to announce big lineup changes coming to the network, as first reported last week. In an attempt to climb out of its disastrous ratings slump, the network is canceling three liberal programs and replacing them with straight news and breaking news coverage.

The coming line up change was first reported last week by Mediaite. Shows being canceled outright include The Cycle, a multiple-host show similar to Fox’s The Five, Now with Alex Wagner, and The Ed Show. Politico reports that MSNBC President Phil Griffin is expected to make the formal announcement as soon as Thursday.

Not all of the hosts of the three canceled shows are leaving. Alex Wagner is expected to remain with the network as is Ari Melber, one of the co-hosts of The Cycle. However, TV Newser reports that Ed Schultz, Abby Huntsman, Toure, and Krystal Ball are “out.”

Oh, boy, Brian Williams will rescue MSLSD, just as soon as he's back from hunting for the guy who killed Cecil.

That line is one of the most unintentionally hilarious things I’ve read this week. Straight news. On MSNBC. With Brian Williams behind the desk. BWAHAHAHHAAA!!!

That said, it’s probably a smart move for MSNBC. Their ratings can’t get much worse, and even a damaged goods Brian Williams is likely to have a bigger draw than the sideshow freaks they’ve been using.

I would kill for an actual news report without the "feelings".

I've got enough to handle with my own feelings. I get stressed when they pile their feelings on top of my own.

“Also coming to the network’s rescue is disgraced NBC anchor Brian Williams”

Uh, is it just me, or is the irony here so thick you’d need a plasma torch to cut it? OR MAYBE ... it’s not irony at all, but sheer, unmitigated imbecility. A little hard to tell when MSNBC anything is involved.
