YouTube is one of those “progressive” sites, along with Yahoo and Google. NYT is doing this to try to recover from their sagging sales and stock. Ain’t gonna happen.

Rosie O’Donnell in Talks to Join MSNBC
By JACQUES STEINBERG and BILL CARTER
Published: November 5, 2007
Rosie O’Donnell, who abruptly left “The View” on ABC last spring after drawing attention and ratings for her opinions on everything from the Iraq war to her co-hosts, is in serious discussions to return to television atop a new soapbox: a prime-time show on the cable news channel MSNBC, according to executives on both sides of the negotiations who have been briefed directly.
Under one scenario, Ms. O’Donnell would be given the 9 p.m. slot each weeknight on MSNBC, where she would go head-to-head with two heavyweights of cable talk: “Larry King Live” on CNN and “Hannity & Colmes” on Fox News. Her show would replace “Live with Dan Abrams,” a relatively low-rated program that only recently replaced “Scarborough Country,” which was also little-watched.
———Notice how every show on MSLSD is low-rated and little watched? How sweet it is.
