Political analyst? He has never been right before so they now want to give him even more airtime to be wrong?
NBC - guess they want to keep the Today show mired in 2nd or third place!

Oh good god, just what we need more of on the airwaves. What next, giving Lindsay Graham and Grampy McBain more time on MTP?

Proof NBC believes their audience share isn’t quite small enough.

It’s amazing how bold NBC is with crapola like this:

We’re told the move is part of a plan to bring a right-leaning voice to the program to appeal to viewers turned off by the show’s famously left-leaning former hosts including the ousted David Gregory.

Meh. I don’t agree with his politics, but he’s fairly reasonable and definitely no Hannity. I don’t think this pivot to the right is right enough to draw any viewers away from Fox. And Mika’s a total MILF.

It is even possible to give these two little ferrets more time on MTP?

Will not be too surprised if Scarborough will move to MSNBC prime time fairly soon.

I stopped watching MSNBC in the morning because of his self-centered, sanctimonious approach to the news and life in general. This guy has nothing to say except to bash people that don’t agree with him. Hey Joe, you’re not cool, it’s not about being cool, nobody cares about your self-centered take on events and I wish MSNBC would wise up.

Don’t rely on PageSix for the facts.

This puts to rest any thoughts I might have entertained about watching MTP again. Add in the planned role for Luke “Legacy” Russert, and I’ll be avoiding that show like ebola.

They tried that with “Scarborough Country” which was a signal failure.

That’s how he landed at 6 a.m. with Moaning Ho.

I think it’s just marketing analysis. Most of the progressive folks that I know don’t watch cable news of any sort. I only watch Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow, but even those two are wearing thin; for reasons I won’t go into here; and I find myself turning off the TV halfway through the show.

It’s just my hypothesis, and maybe someone out there has some hard evidence, that the majority of those people who watch corporate news shows are right of center. Simply put, my hypothesis is that progressives aren’t that big a market segment for these televised bloviapalooza happenings. So why cater to us?
