MSNBC ready to roll the dice with Greta Van Susteren

[octoberlib]

An announcement may be coming soon from MSNBC that former Fox News and CNN host Greta Van Susteren will be joining the network, according to a Wednesday report.

For the former criminal defense and trial lawyer, signing with MSNBC to take its vacant 6:00 pm ET slot is the only and best option for someone with her resume: Fox News: 12 years. CNN: eight years. More than 1.1 million followers on Twitter. In terms of free agents, she arguably brings the most to the table, at least in terms of being an established brand.

1. I hope they name the show

"Roll the Dice with Greta Van Susteren"

[octoberlib]

3. Perfect name for her show!

2. Just one more reason I am glad I pulled the plug 8 years ago!

[octoberlib]

4. Hey you!

I've been thinking about getting Roku. I get most of my news now from digital subscriptions.

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. good to see you too. I am not sure what to do or where to turn...

I am typically an optimist, but this has me mentally pretty beat up.

[octoberlib]

10. I feel the same way. I am very uneasy.

[malaise]

26. I still keep hoping that he pulls out sometime between now and

Jan 20.

9. Been using a Roku for two years. Netflix, Hulu plus and Amazon.

Have the Roku 4 in the living room and Roku 3 in my bedroom. Vice News has a great channel for Roku and you can add HBO for another 10 bucks if you choose.

11. Thanks for the info!

[sarcasmo]

13. Best Buy sells the Roku 4, not sure about Wally World.

[SaschaHM]

5. Wow, I didn't know that they got rid of that Halperin show.

Good riddance.

6. One more reason to never watch MSNBC ever again.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

28. Precisely! MSNBC cutting it's own throat with that hire.

[spanone]

8. bwahahahahaaaa...guess hugh hewitt is next in line for a show....then rick tyler & steve cortes...

corey could maybe work there part-time

fuck 'em

[octoberlib]

12. Yeah, I'm surprised they didn't pick up Gretchen Carlson when she left Fox.

They must appear "balanced'.

[brush]

23. They've definitely jumped the shark if this hire goes through. They've got Joy Reid hidden away ...

on early morning weekends and they hire a right wing retread.

Seems like some racist BS to me.

Why is someone as talented as Joy Reid passed over continually for a prime time show?

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. Why the fuck wasn't Joy given that slot?! Makes no sense!

[JenniferJuniper]

14. I don't watch MSNBC anymore anyway

In bed with Trump with the rest of them.

[eleny]

15. Yish. :( Andrea Mitchell is bad enough and now this

It won't get me back watching anything more than Lawrence and Joy.

Lol! Who cares what I watch anyway!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. AM is ona the worst! Had to turn the channel whenever she came on... that is when I could still stand to watch MSNBC.

[KamaAina]

16. Snake eyes.

[SticksnStones]

17. Had Nicole Miller tonight in the 11pm slot filling in for Brian Williams

Because what we need are more republican voices on the air...there are so few

[TheBlackAdder]

18. When Sean Hannity joins MSNBC, it's transmogrification to FOX-Lite will be complete!

[DURHAM D]

19. MSNBC already has the most talented human being on the planet

on their payroll just doing weekend mornings and they go out and buy a
has been.

Big

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Of course they did. Joe, Mika and Andrea were so lonely.

Well not really but . . .

[flamingdem]

21. Is that why Rachel was praising her a week ago

GROSS!!!!!!

[patricia92243]

22. Didn't know she was not at Fox now. Do we know why????? n/t

[octoberlib]

32. The article says Van Susteren left after contract

re-negotiations broke down. Which doesn't really tell us anything. It was right after Ailes left. Didn't she stick up for Roger Ailes? Yuck.

[MFM008]

24. Never watching

Nope.

[lillypaddle]

25. She loved palling around with Palin

I can't stand this woman. Blech!

[jodymarie aimee]

27. as much as we admire Rachel

she ALWAYS refers to her as my good friend. Now, do we pick up Ailes, Tarantino and the other drops outs.......

[Vinca]

31. It's a real disappointment MSNBC feels the need to Foxify itself.

I wish I was a gazillionaire. I'd launch a lefty channel and I wouldn't see it off for profit the way Gore did.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

33. Wasn't $arah palin available,

just asking?
