Looks MSNBC is using the ISIS Paris attack to pivot away from their left leaning hosts

[itsrobert]

I think this is a trial to see if they can displace their prime time hosts with more traditional news people. Expect to see more of Brian Williams and Harry Smith anchoring prime time this week. I am sure Brian Williams will be hosting from Paris the rest of the week in Prime Time. I expect the Morning Joe crew to remain. But MSNBC is going push the "liberals" out with the ISIS/French/Terrorism coverage. My prediction: Bye Chris Hayes, Rachel, and Lawrence.

1. The Establishment Is Working Overtime To Protect Itself From The Proletariat

2. WTH does ISIS attacks have to do with MSNBC? Furthermore why would a liberal network want to bring

Right leaning shows. They already have one Republican with Scarborough, he is over the top.

5. New Ownership Comcast

Every since Comcast purchased MSNBC they been looking at ways to rid MSNBC of the "liberal" label. The plan has been in place for awhile, but the more "serious" news is giving them the excuse to accelerate their plan. Comcast sees this major news story as an opportunity.

7. MSNBC is a liberal network? LOL! Since when?

3. Their Paris coverage has been horrendous.

4. The normal prime time schedule is news with heavy opinion

The hosts are awesome, but they're commentators, not news anchors. When there is big breaking news, I would expect to see news anchors and not opinion hosts.

That includes in the Morning Joe hour, so I'll be curious to see how that's handled tomorrow.

6. They see Morning Joe with Joe and Mika

as serious news host. Hard to believe. They will remain. In the past, MSNBC was fine with their liberal host covering the harder news.

9. They don't care if it's serious. I suspect they don't even care about ratings. The messaging is

their concern and, in their eyes, Joe starts their main programming day off right--in more ways than one. As for Mika, everyone dismisses her, including Tom Brokaw, who practically told her to her face that he finds her laughable. And she doesn't challenge Joe that much anyway.

It's all good.

8. Chris Hayes was on for 2 hours today

I think it was that long. He did excellent reporting as usual.
