...she's right. “After four years of building an audience, developing a brand and developing trust with our viewers, we were effectively and utterly silenced.”

She's not the first MSNBC on-air personality this has happened to. I find it disgusting that Scarborough and Renfield...I mean "Mika"..seem to be the crown jewel in their "stable of stars." And as far as Tweety is concerned, he has always run hot and cold. His allegiances are generally tied to money, as in the fact that his wife is prepping a run for office, and a chunk of her cash comes from the same people who are also Hillary donors.

The did the same thing to Alex Wagner. She had friends at the top, so her stay lasted a little longer than it might, but ultimately "On July 30, 2015, MSNBC President Tim Griffin announced that the series had been cancelled in an effort to transiton the network's daytime programming to more breaking news reporting and less political commentary and opinion. The next day the program aired its final episode." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Wagner)

Then there was "The Cycle," which got a little easier to swallow after the departure of loathsome Ann Coulter clone SE Cupp, but it ultimately was put out of its misery due to "low ratings."
