Poor ships with incompetent crews sink even in the calmest weather.
MSNBC is certainly not immune to market forces. This economic wind is fine. The crew doesn't seam willing to sail with it.
Answer: Get a new crew before the ship sinks.
This has little to nothing to do with the economy. MSNBC has been one of the worst-managed operations in America since the day it launched ... no logical business plan, a spendthrift corporate culture, etc. It's just that after 7 1/2 years of being allowed to drift aimlessly, General Electric has finally had enough and is breathing down the necks of the inept MSNBC suits, telling them to get their act together or else. And when inept managers need to make themselves look good real damn fast, they always play the same card: Fire people to increase their revenue numbers.
Even if we were in the middle of the most booming economy in history, MSNBC would still be a financial basket case, and these layoffs still would have occurred.
