Choosing the producer before deciding what the show is going to be is the kiss of death. Another impending disaster for MSNBC!

Not necessarily. It could mean that the producer will have more authority than the host, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. These star-driven talking head shows give me hives.

I did get a chuckle out of the statement that Buchanan and Press will still be "contributing" to MSNBC. I suppose there must be some toilets in need of scrubbing somewhere. The two of them would be perfect for it.

They should just put up a test pattern for an hour. It'll probably recieve their highest ratings.

You'd actually watch them?

But if they leave the slot open and just air
black empty shot the ratings would probably be
higher than they are now.

When are they just go to put the fork in MSNBC
cause it is done and go ahead pull the plug and
take it off the air?

Oh, I hope they bring Phil Donahue back and waste more millions trying to convince us that he's got something worthwhile to say...that was the best laugh I've gotten from TV since the "Race" episode on Seinfeld.

But I seam to watching less of FOX as it becomes all Michael all the time. Same with Joe Scarborough. I find myself turning to CNN, heaven help me, to hear news.

FOX News...if you're listening.........QUIT ALREADY!!!
