(24,329 posts)MSNBC is weird in many ways. They cut better talent (people like Donahue and Lawrence) to make room for lesser ability, but bigger names (Chris M. Brian W. Gretchen etc)

(3,702 posts)flat out as not being as rich as he says he is. Lawrence also called on NBC to fire him during the Apprentice and called him out for being racist over the whole birther bullshit. Trump threatened to sue - of course. Lawrence mocked that and said no you won't on his show. So Trump has wanted Lawrence gone for years.
grantcart
(53,061 posts)Lawrence is truthful but passionate and gets personal, egging Trump with things like "Sue me, please".
I hope CNN or Fox takes him so I can follow him there.

(44,124 posts)Do you really believe a story full of nothing but speculation, rumor and innuendo is the gospel truth?
If you can unequivocally vouch for the credibility of this website, I'll be happy to light my hair on fire for you.
BTW, Lawrence's show is great tonight. Still on if yr interested.

(92,190 posts)real well, especially in light of the latest news today that the President is a crook
MSNBS has been heading this way for a while. It started with the double standard talk Lester Holt had with Hillary and trump, and how Andrew Lack gave all kinds accolades for those double standard interviews, which essentially gave trump free pass, and ended last year when they were one of the first news outlets to report that when Comey released the letter to the republicans, they reported that the email investigation was reopened. Problem is that was a LIE, and they knew it, and knew they distorted the letter.
So glad that I no longer receive those cable/news outlets anymore

I don't beleive this source is credible.

Maybe time to self-delete your thread? Because the story you linked to isn't correct.

Doreen
(11,686 posts)then not going and they all have had some sort of what could be a link to the truth. Which is it? Stay or go? I personally think that Rachel, O'Donnell, Hays, and Joy should all leave and start their own news channel. Yeah, yeah pipe dream but it would be good huh?
spiderpig
(10,419 posts)It annoys me no end that niche markets like SciFi, Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel and Court TV appear only to morph into something completely unrecognizable.
Next, Animal Planet will become My Favorite Butcher.

(11,686 posts)It seems to me on the weekend all I see other than news reruns is those stupid "Lock Up" programs. If I want to watch criminals I will watch the news featuring our administration.
