And MSNBC Officially
Sharpton Appears to Win Anchor Spot on MSNBC
After giving a nearly six-month tryout for the Internet talk show host Cenk Uygur, the cable news channel MSNBC is preparing to instead hand its 6 p.m. time slot to the Rev. Al Sharpton.
Mr. Sharpton’s imminent hiring, which was acknowledged by three people at the channel on condition of anonymity because the contract had not been signed, is significant in part because MSNBC and other news channels have been criticized for a paucity of minority hosts in prominent time slots. Mr. Sharpton, who is black and is a well-known civil rights activist and radio host, has been guest hosting in the 6 p.m. time slot for the last three weeks.

Oh that show will be a ratings monster for sure!
I have an idea for a new home sport: giving ol’ Al the MST3K treatment. Heckle the bejeebers out of him and post the winning comments online. It will lower everyone’s blood pressure and make him look like an ass. Win-win.
Make him look like an ass Dr.A? He does a darn good job of that all by himself.
Somebody get Reverend Ike’s big golden throne outta storage…
You know he will be over the top and fling the race card at everything and MSNBC will have to live with it because they won’t have the stones to say boo to him.
He’ll fling poo AND the race card, Major Dad. It’s what the old bigot does best, after all.
Oh good, now I don’t need to worry any more about our country knowing that both Geraldo Rivera AND Al Sharpton are there watching out for us.
This COULD answer the all important “Where is Casey Anthony?” question. There was supposition for a while she was on Geraldo’s boat…
If Al “Burn Down Freddie’s Fashion Mart” Sharpton is a “civil rights leader” then so was George Wallace.
