MSNBC is airing "Death in the Hamptons"! (About a 2001 murder) |
|
The good news, it's not a Predator marathon or some in-prison episodefest.
But it does tell you that with the New Hampshire primary days away, MSNBC is still not a news organization first and foremost.

1. It's Saturday afternoon, and the ratings are so minimal, that it doesn't pay |
|
to have anchors sit there.

4. Fox and CNN have a lot more money right now than MSNBC, which is relatively |
|
poor. NBC was talking about abandoning the whole thing a few months ago.

7. As much as I love Olbermann, etc., not ratings wise, etc. Although they are |
|
doing well in the demographic. Hopefully, since NBC has closed down the studios in Secaucus and brought the whole operation here to Rockefeller Center, MSNBC will stand a chance at being treated less like the red-headed stephild.
