1. Replacing 'With all due Respect'

I so seldom watch anymore.

3. WADR went off the air last month...

...as for me, I'll wait to see what her show is like before jumping into discussions about how everyone "knows" how bad it will be.

4. They can continue their rightward march.

Though I think that Greta is more Nancy Grace than a rightwinger - it really makes no difference. It's all shit.

[Mike Nelson]

5. Replacing Rachel...

...Maddow?

[TeamPooka]

6. Rachel is on at 9pm. This would be the lead-in before Hardball.

[Mike Nelson]

7. I'm in California...

...did not think about the time difference, although I usually do. Thanks!

[Chiyo-chichi]

8. What a shock.

They've hired Megyn Kelly, Gretchen Carlson was guest-hosting the third hour of the Today Show this week, and now Van Susteren.

9. What a embarrassment for NBC and MSNBC

They hired far right extremist from a channel that is a right wing un-American propaganda network that makes shit up 24 hours a day. Fake News.

The people that NBC has put on from Faux News, have they apologized for all the lies and racism they spewed while on that propaganda network?

Like That time when Gretchen Carlson spew hatred toward Senator Kennedy? There's a reason these people at one time appeared as a "worst person in the world" on Countdown.

There's a lot of material against these people.

12. You are confusing on air personas with the views of real people

The air talent are what their producers and directors want them to be.

[progressoid]

10. Oy.

[annabanana]

11. I hope it hurt. . .n/t

[erpowers]

13. They're Doing It Again

It seems NBC/MSNBC is taking a rightward tilt. Maybe Greta Van Susteren and Megan Kelly, after having made their money now want to be real journalists again. However, NBC/MSNBC seems to be trying to hire right wing talent.

[Thinkingabout]

14. I am thinking some at FOX are waking up and realizing to stay at FOX requires telling

Lies and propping up Trump, a bridge too far. Actually Scarborough and Mika have been auditioning for FOX for a While, perhaps they will get their chance.

21. Nah, they all do it for the money........

JMHO.

[coco22]

15. I avoid the Today Show..

specifically because of Jenna Bush among others..

[unc70]

16. For the Scientology viewpoint

Not just RW crazy.

[JaneQPublic]

17. 2 points

1. Even though she comes from Faux News, she can't possibly be much more of a right-wing tool than the previous occupant of the 6 p.m. ET time slot, Mark Halperin.

2. Overall, this exodus of prime time FN "talent" does not bode well for the news channel. Conservatives -- and older conservatives in particular -- are not ones to accept gladly any change to their old, comfortable routine.

18. I don't trust ANYONE who ever whored for Fox News

[Rustyeye77]

20. I agree.

[a kennedy]

22. ditto.......
