But I don't think Sharpton plays well, and why not just give him one of two Chris Matthews slots, at 4 or 6? Sharpton is a great guest, and I like the idea of getting someone like Van Jones, but he just isn't that great at being a television host. It's as simple as that, he's clumsy, doesn't read the prompter well, which is why he makes a better guest, as he's just reacting, speaking from his own mind.

Don't try to make it something it isn't, just find someone who plays, who is a liberal black guy, maybe with a bit of youth, and put him on in Chris's slot.

Cenk was fired because he told the truth, pure and simple truth, about the corrupt system of government, where corporations pay congressmen for laws, and media, they are about as corporate as anyone. They didn't like the fact he called them on their crap. And Cenk explained that his ratings were improving, and crediting Sharpton on his first day, for Cenk's show is disingenuous at best. I set my DVR to record because Cenk's on--when I watched Sharpton (once again, like him as a guest), I stopped setting it.

MSNBC is getting a history for firing it's best hosts, with the best ratings, Donahue, Olbermann, and now Cenk.
