Wednesday, Jun 07 Rick Kaplan Resigns: "He Has Led MSNBC Through A Period Of Impressive Growth"
"I want to thank Rick for his service to MSNBC," NBC News president Steve Capus said in a message to MSNBC employees at 4pm. "Over the last two and a half years, Rick has been a tireless champion for the network and all the hard work you do each and every day. He has led MSNBC through a period of impressive growth especially in primetime. You, the staff at MSNBC, are enormously dedicated and have built a rock-solid foundation for our future growth. MSNBC has been and continues to be an enormously important asset in the NBC News portfolio.
Soon, I will have an announcement for all of you about MSNBC's new leadership. During this period of transition I will call on the department heads at MSNBC to manage their respective units and report to me."
In an e-mail to all NBC Universal employees, Capus said "the message of this day is a continued commitment by everyone at MSNBC to excellence. The channel has some real momentum behind it now - and we intend to build upon that foundation for an extremely bright future."

Rick Kaplan Resigns: Effective Immediately, President Of MSNBC Steps Down Rick Kaplan's goodbye to MSNBC staffers:
"I want to let you all know that today I'm leaving MSNBC. It is not often in professional life that someone has the opportunity to end his tenure on such a high note. I couldn't be more proud of the progress we've made together over the last 2 and a half years. Together, we've increased MSNBC's viewership 25% in primetime and 19% in dayside. Over just the last year, we've had great success across the board, with Hardball and Countdown coming into their own. All of our primetime programs have improved tremendously in their production and content. Together we had a great election year in '04 and you're poised to improve on that excellence this fall. It truly has been an honor to work with all of you who make up the best team in TV news. My genuine hope is that you continue to grow and build on the momentum we've achieved together at MSNBC."
Yep, I've been to concerts with more viewers than daytime MSNBC.
Donald Trump is busy. We need another "firer"---maybe we can get Marty "Fire" Fierro ?
"I was told the company had been sold and the new owner was greeted at the airport by the president a day or two before. He was asked for his credit cards and keys to the company car. They left him at the airport and sent all his stuff to him in a box via ups. I presume they changed all the locks, sparing him the indignity of handing over keys to the company."
A joke in many industries was if you flew back to your home office and were supposed to meet at the Red Carpet Lounge or a similiar place in the Airport instead of going into the home office site. You might just be fired.
They knew you wouldn't have a gun or weapon in the Airport. They would meet you in a secure meeting room in the Red Carpet Lounge or a similiar place. They would terminate you, take your corporate id and credit cards away and give you a one way ticket home on the next flight out and take away the ticket you had to go home.
You and Marty would make a great team.
LOL.......yeah.
I didn't think anyone could be as bad as Matthews, but Olberman is even WORSE and much more CYNICAL!! UNWATCHABLE!!!!
OMG!! The Maury and Connie Show is like watching the HINDERBURG burn!! If freepers have never seen it, just tune in for 3 minutes....it's really un-believable and sad. Connie is as dumb as a rock.
Her sources say......
LOL.
This is much better than any TV show.

Yeppers, Rick I couldn't agree more. 25% and 19% of nuthin is still nuthin.
Best post I've seen in a long time ! Loved the movie, too!
Hahahahahahahaha !!!!
Rick Kaplan: Eject.
Chris Matthews: Eject?
Rick Kaplan: Eject.
Keith Olberman: Erect? I'll need some time, some porn and a Viagra.
Rick Kaplan: Eject.
Black Box Recorder: CRUNCH...
I realize all those scumbags look alike after a while, but I think it was Hewitt. He bragged to them about how he helped JFK over Nixon.
It's admissions like that which buried CBS News' credibility. Nobody would ever consider those two cases of media interference in the political process "fair and balanced".
That's why Fox is kicking ass. They make the effort to be fair and balanced. As a result (1) people don't laugh at them when they say "fair and balanced" and (2) people watch.
Chris Matthews ought to follow suit and resign too. The guy is the biggest idiot on MSNBC and he has a lot of competition.

Don't worry about it---you'll be great.

"Period Of Impressive Growth"......how can we translate?
"Growth that was shockingly small"
"Growth that was no growth at all (i.e., it was shrinkage)"
"The period was short...we picked up two viewers who were stranded overnight at the bus terminal."
