It is difficult for me to believe that the other 3 on the show would not be thrilled to see her go. I believe they must certainly think it is she who is holding their ratings back. Frankly, I can't stand her. I saw that article that she had been chosen to be a part of the new Crossfire panel, and my first thought was how much did MSNBC have to bribe CNN to coax her away. The woman has zero depth and tries to make up for that with snark.
The article I read said CNN had "poached" her and I thought it would be too good to be true that she might be leaving MSNBC so I did not allow myself to hope. I figured maybe she could do both. If it is true she is leaving, what can I say but O Happy Day.
I do agree that MSNBC has made some extremely bad choices in their scheduling. I really like Chris Hayes but he was perfect in that 2 hour Saturday time zone. And Ed was great at 8.
But overall, NBC itself is suffering from extremely poor judgment. They have been listening to the demands of their sponsors who insist they want the viewers between whatever 25 and 40 because that is who their ads target. So NBC is shuffling in a lot of younger people and ignoring the preferences of their overall viewership. To give you an example, Harry's Law was NBC's #2 most viewed show following Smash (the first year Smash aired). Harry's Law was a great show, great cast, great scripts -- it had it all, especially originality. NBC canceled it for unexplained reasons. Really, who does not think Kathy Bates is an excellent actress and gives zero thought to her age while thinking it?
