1. It's one possible strategy.
Then again, that may be what MSNBC wants.

5. It would be better to sink their ratings or advertisers.

8. I don't think we should try to silence any progressive voices.
We already have almost no venues for the progressive point of view.
I say we go after NBC and Comcast's other programs. And let them know. Don't watch: The Today Show, Leno, Meet the Press, CNBC, etc. etc. etc.

Of course, most of those shows are shit anyway, so I quit watching them a long time ago. But I do keep CNBC on most of the day. I'm switching to Bloomberg channel on Monday.

Anybody else have a good list of NBC shows or Comcast affiliates?

9. I'd say all Liberal & Democrats should refuse to go on 8PM hour
I want the 8PM ratings to sink like a rock without KO. MSNBC will then have to pay back advertisers because they didn't get the ratings promised when they bought the time.

10. Great idea. Then it can become the 24-hour Pat Buchanan
network. Oh...wait...

11. Rachel Maddow threatening to quit would be more powerful
Since she has the highest rated show on MSNBC right now.

12. Doesn't any one understand that MSNBC, even though not perfect, has the most general
public exposure?
