The incident with MHP must have made them aware that they are also probably of limited use to a company that is one of the leaders in corporatism.
How much longer do you think they have?

(856 posts)I believe it is Lawrence O'Donnell not O'Brien. I could be wrong.

(86,634 posts)they are too important right now so I think they still have a smidgen of leverage. I think they might walk out together and suspect they are preparing a place to land for when they leap... it would be interesting if this went down just after the conventions. Rachel is a very talented and intelligent journalist and political scientist, she could start her own news outlet and have an immediate draw of grand proportion. Right alongside Rachel in that level of expertise is MHP, both are phenomenal and I hope they don't disappear.
I think they are too smart to get canned unless it works out best for them given specifics in their contract agreements.

(30,674 posts)there are no outlets with broad audiences who will hire them. MSNBC knows exactly what they are doing, and new management has decided to outFox Fox.
It's not just business. It's explicitly political.
They will lose viewers. They don't care. They need to control the message.

(10,168 posts)I was so hopeful when Current almost happened. Hopefully the void will be filled soon, because it always is, sooner or later.

(856 posts)I believe because of the Presidential Campaigns they should be OK. After the election IMO anything goes. Chris H., Rachel & Lawrence have excellent quality programs. Salon has the video of Lawrence's segment w/Bruce Bartlett last night. http://www.salon.com/2016/03/03/my_goal_is_to_destroy_the_republican_party_former_reagan_adviser_bruce_bartlett_explains_his_vote_for_donald_trump/#comments
