parking lot guard shed.

OTOH, and for factual reporting, I'd watch Shep Smith.

have no obligation to be factual.

be Mathews but is 7pm prime time?
This is crazy shit for MSNBC to be doing.
It's one thing to replace MTP with Shep but the rest...?

Not sure how much juice he has but MSNBC always puts him on during big news events so he must have some.

would want to retire until after the 2020 election.
Go out with a bang as it were
I have MSNBC on most of the day, every day, and I have no desire to watch Shep Smith.
Yeah I know he was Fox News occasional "truth teller" but he stayed there for years and gave them legitimacy and didn't always tell truth so fuck that guy

But then they want to expand Wallace from 4 - 6... so Tweety may stay at 7 pm ET.

I have a feeling that Ari may be in play to be moved... It seems the 6 pm slot has been a revolving door for "tryouts" (used to be Ed then Cenk then Sharpton and now Ari).

It's an odd time that's not really considered "prime time" and is sortof in between "drive time" (4 - 6) and "prime time" (8 - 11).

I know they are not touching Rachel (their biggest ratings bonanza), although her bit of an expose regarding her bosses at NBC and Ronan Farrow makes me wonder though.

Last night he turned some Republican's bullshit into a case against Trump. The guy was clearly over matched.

Who cares what happens to Chuck Toad. Moving him to 9am to replace the equally loathsome Andrea Mitchell gets us nowhere.

Which is more saying Chuck is really, really bad.

campaign she just about ran a "...but what about her emails" story during every A-block of her show. She helped trump win.

but I sortof stopped watching during the day (unless there was some big news event) and I am generally clueless now about all the anchor shuffling that they have done over the past couple years for their daytime lineup after Schmoe & Mika...

But IMHO I think Schmuck needs to be removed from the air period. However if they insist on him being on somewhere (he is supposedly a "Political Director" for some reason ), then keep him at once a week on Sundays.

Andrea is on at noon ET, it would be Stephanie Ruehl at 9am

Schmuck was actually on in the mornings at least 4 years ago IIRC and before they manufactured that "MTP Daily" mess to I guess compete with Wolf Blitzer.

I saw Todd's afternoon show, situated between Nicole Wallace and Ari Melber, described as a ratings "hammock." MSNBC should have been contemplating this, long ago.

Monkey Boy David Gregory!!!

Let Thuck Chodd host the late late night prison shows on MSNBC. Maybe soon he can interview many many GOP and trump behind those bars and ease their incarceration with softball questions and giggle while criticizing dems.

What a tool.

MSNBC desperately needs a good show during this time slot. Usually I turn off MSNBC when Chuck comes on. CNN in recent days has become unwatchable. Luckily we have ESPN's Around the Horn.

...smart. I turn them off after Nichole and back on for Ari. I would watch Shep - I'd keep Rachel and Lawrence, though. I guess moving Chuck to 9 might work. Maybe he and Andrea can share that hour - and I get get some work done!

4PM - Smith
5PM - Hayes
6PM - Matthews
7PM - Melber
8PM - Wallace
9PM - Maddow
10PM - O'Donnell
11PM - Williams

do without Williams.

actually PAID THEIR PROGRESSIVE DUES through the years who can get in the line-up????????????

Morning Joe, Nicole Wallace, endless appearances by David Jolley, Steve Schmidt, on and on and on...you wanna talk about an "embedded cell" of enemy agents? GRETA VAN SUSTEREN for God's sake????

Hire and televise some BONA FIDE forward thinkers!

I know, I know, we're EXTREMELY lucky to even have something like MSNBC, when it's finally gone there will be nothing but Newton Minnow's "vast wasteland" again.

Do they EVER go to the left? To hosts that have, as you say, paid their dues? Many great candidates that have their own YouTube channels as we speak. Thom Hartman, David Packman, Sam Seder, Ana Kasparian, on and on. They don't dare. '

Stephanie Miller would be hilarious, and deserves it more than anyone.

Doesn't MSNBC realize that every single one of those hosts you mentioned will flip back immediately to Republican party promotion the day after Trump is removed, or voted out? Maybe they do, and are just setting it all up for that.

be named later.

He wouldn't bat an eye if they offered him enough

NBC’s Political News Director. He singlehandedly destroyed Meet the Press but his oversized clout as boss of Political News at NBC is an ongoing disaster. His recent epiphany that MSM is colluding with Trump’s public relations operators to deliver a distorted view of US and World events would be laughable if he wasn’t in such an important position. Anyone that naive or ignorant should be working in the NBC Mailroom.

He's just a nothing in comparison to Olbermann. Maybe Shep can provide a more exciting show.

Hasn't MSNBC learned their lesson from hiring Fox runaways?
Dump Chuck Tool off at a Goodwill donation kiosk or an animal shelter, oh, & don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out

Plus, how is old Shep going to do with real fact checkers? I know he gave a veneer of respectability to Pox, but that veneer was awfully thin. When Smith quit Pox, it was a "Lincoln freed everybody" sort of thing, a surprise in the middle of a contract and Pox would be within its rights to refuse to let anyone buy out that contract.

In that case, he'll have to write a book while he cools his heels for a couple of years.

I find anyone who worked for Pox to be hopelessly tainted by their appalling standards.
