MSNBC appoints Alex Wagner as 4-night prime-time anchor

NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC on Monday solidified its prime-time lineup by appointing Alex Wagner to fill Rachel Maddow's time slot four nights a week, Tuesday through Friday.

Wagner, who has worked at CBS News, as a co-host of Showtime's “The Circus” and as an editor at The Atlantic, is on her second stint at MSNBC. She rejoined MSNBC in February after hosting a show on the network a decade ago.

Maddow will continue to work in her 9 p.m. Eastern time slot on Monday nights, MSNBC said.

It's an important move for the liberal-leaning news network and its president, Rashida Jones. Maddow has been MSNBC's most popular personality, and her decision earlier this year to step back from a weeknight show that was a linchpin of the network's schedule was a blow.

Wagner's new show will premiere Aug. 16. A continued rotation of anchors will fill in at the 9 p.m. hour until then.

Meanwhile, CNN is still looking to fill its 9 p.m. Eastern time slot on a regular basis following the firing of Chris Cuomo.

Alex will likely do her entire stint as anchor at MSNBC and years from now when she retires I will still won’t be able to pick her out of a lineup.

Her father was a prominent Democratic Party political consultant who co-chaired Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign.

Can’t these “news” networks ever find someone who is not connected to the Rat party?

Alex Wagner has described herself as progressive.[

On matters involving Israel, she believes that there is an element of “trepidation that inhibits a robust discussion about Israel in the American media” due to fears of being falsely slurred as an anti-Semite

Add that fact that so many women are working under their maiden names & they are MARRIED to other well placed LIBERALS, and we have a very hard time to connect the dots.

She is wrong.. most people know the the line when criticism is no longer a legitimate one but an obsessive bigoted one.
