Actually though, I would not mind having Andy Lack's job right now. With an election cycle heating up, MSNBC's ratings are bound to increase over the next 18 months. Without a raging Democratic Primary, they will not benefit as much as FN will, at least until next summer, but there will be a rise out of interest in Hillary, and whatever mischief Bernie is able to get into. Also, MSNBC is so very bad right now, that even marginal moves (like bringing in Todd) will help. He needs to clean the decks of the freaks and clowns that populate his roster, and bring in people with either skills or profile. I think I would give Williams a flagship newshour, bite the bullet and give Olbermann an hour, throw some money at some mid-profile ABC or CNN news person to jump ship, and sign some politico with ties to Obama or Hillary to a 2 year deal. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
