There IS a G*d! "MSNBC Axes Maury And Connie"

[johnfunk]

Hot off the press from TVNewser:

MSNBC's "Weekends with Maury & Connie" is being cancelled, TVNewser has learned. The program, hosted by Maury Povich and Connie Chung, will end its run next week. The husband and wife team taped their second-to-last show on Friday.

For those who had the good fortune to miss the program, it was unabashedly awful, despite the presence of producer Lizz Winstead, a broadcast vet with decidedly progressive leanings. One gets the feeling that many of her ideas her ideas might well have been stymied by the office of recently ousted MSNBC prez Rick Kaplan, whose disastrous attempts to recast MSNBC's weekday primetime into a bad imitation of neofascist propaganda outlet FOX News Channel led to his dismissal. Only Countdown has shown real growth, with Hardball doing better than it had.

Gee, Rick, looked like you tried to "spin" the network in the wrong direction, making it yet another outlet with a decidedly right wing bias.
