there is nothing worth watching on this channel. Joe Scarborough has been given blood transfusions from Chris Matthews, its over for him.

Was Eric Sorenson any good, why is Rick Kaplan in demand.

Kaplan's one of Clinton's most faithful kneepadders. My guess is that the channel will now be known as MSDNC.

If Kaplan doesn't cancel his show outright, he will definitely "suggest" that Scarborough add some more "balance" to it.

Boy, I refuse to believe Dobbs supports Kerry. He is a life long Republican and left CNN over the issue some years ago. When, pray tell, did he become Deomcrat? It must have been in the last couple of weeks.

It's called "rearranging the deck chairs". One leftist with another leftist. Look for Michael Moore or Al Franken to get his own show. Scarborough is toast.

I'll never understand how our biggest businesses and governmental agencies continue to promote people who have a proven record of failure. Sports, business, politics...

I'm with you. Today Dobbs totally reamed a guy on immigration. Dobbs was quoting some huge report and concluded illegals cost americans tons of money, way more than they bring to the economy {a lie told by dems}. dobbs was great, I was cheering. Dobbs is no dem.

All the more reason to refuse to watch MSNBC. This thing should have been put out of its misery long ago.

Dobbs has been openly at war with CNN over his being a Republican. for years and years. He even left for a couple of years and their ratings went down. They hired him back. While I am the first to admit that CNN is left leaning ... it is wrong to assume that all commentators on CNN are Dims.

What did Kaplan but heads with Dobbs over?

I do know that Kaplan personally sent out a memo dictating CNN policy to never refer to Klinton's troubles as 'scandals' when reporting on Lewinsky and impeachment.

Could be an interesting morning when Don Imus comes back after a three day weekend. He has said some things about Kaplan that could prove hard to take back. There were rumors months ago of Imus talking to Roger Ailes.
