Why has that cipher, Tucker, not been fired yet?
Bow-tie Boy has been reduced to a complete state of irrelevancy. His program is unwatched and unwatchable, his affect is that of a depressed failure, his humor, such as it was, is non-existent.

There must be someone else who can take his place....come on, MSNBC, let's get on the stick, and stop rerunning episodes of To Catch a Predator, or Hard Times in Leavenworth high or whatever they call it.

3. Probably a contract
Cheaper to keep him around filling newshole than to eat his contract.

4. That must be it.



They would have to pay off his contract and have to pay the extra expense for his replacement as well.

They are probably just taking the cheapest route by leaving him in place.

8. Couldn't they raise ad rates if someone watched
Jeez, I'd think advertising on the Tuck show would be a negative.

5. Well, the NYT's hired Bill Kristol.
HAving a war mongering record and being wrong about everything, proves that if your a republican, and if the market doesn't support you, and you're irrelevant, you still get to have a public platform and a cushy paycheck.

7. Their crime/prison obsession is so old!
I watch MSNBC a lot. But off it goes when that crap comes on. Someone has a weird fixation.

And yes, Tucker is completely inconsequential and boring. He has nothing to add. I wonder why he's still around, too.

9. Last news I saw on TVNewser was that contrary to rumor, MSNBC has no intention of
canceling Lil' Tuck.

I don't know what the hell they are waiting for. It's going to get to the point where they could achieve higher ratings by piggybacking on coverage from Fox Business Channel.

10. I KNOW!
Maybe bow-tie boy has the 'goods' on Dan Abrams...

Danny went to his plastic surgeon with a pic of a young Paul Newman and said, "Do your best, doc."
