MSNBC Update

Hey, everybody, guess what! Either I misunderstood the scheduling of Ed Schultz's MSNBC weekend show, or there must have been a change made.  I originally reported that he was going to be on the air from 5 PM to 7 PM, Eastern time, when he is in fact on the air from 5 PM to 6 PM Eastern time, meaning he's on for one hour, not two.  My mother says I must have misheard his hours and thought he'd be on for two hours a night rather than two hours a week.  My mother also said that she couldn't imagine Ed having enough injustices against the American worker to rant about for two straight hours in one night.

I could.

Anyway, with Chris Hayes having taken Ed's old 8 PM Eastern weeknight time slot, Steve Kornacki of MSNBC's "The Cycle," airing at 3 PM Eastern on weekday afternoons, took over Hayes' "Up" weekend morning show, and he no longer shares "The Cycle" with female commentators Krystal Ball and S.E. Cupp and black commentator Touré Neblett, a guy so self-absorbed he feels he only has to go by his first name. Ari Melber of The Nation has replaced Kornacki as "The Cycle"'s token male Caucasian.

Whatever . . .
