And would someone introduce the people at MSNBC to the basic television programming idea that if you have a relatively highly rated show, and that the ratings for the show which follows fail to keep that audience, you should consider replacing it.
Everyone knows MSNBC would have higher ratings if they put someone left of center on after Olbermann instead of the Mayor of Looneyville. No one will be honest about why they don't.
