Isn't Comcast going to, at some point soon, kill MSNBC? |
|
I can't imagine Comcast will love Rachel or Ed for too long. They love the profits they bring in, but they hate their message.
I can't blame them if they don't, but I've got this fantasy where Ed and Rachel go to Current with Keith, and kick Fox's butt.

2. That's quite a fantasy. |
|
People have to know what Current is first. Besides a bunch of DUers, who watches it, or even know of its existence. Not even the well-known cable news channels come close to beating Fox. It's gonna take a lot more than Rachel, Ed and KO to bring the kind of number you're fantasizing about.

But CNN used to be good, and before that it was a startup.
Current isn't a start-up. But it could be like one.
I hope they've got a lot of money behind them.

4. That would be nice, tho'. |
|
Ever since KO signed off in January from MSNBC, I stopped watching altogether so I'm sure the ratings went down somewhat.
Besides, I'm gonna drop Comcast soon so it's all good as far as I'm concerned.
