Is Chris Hayes toast along with Joy Reid and Ronan Farrow? That’s what the Daily Beast is reporting. Rachel Maddow will be moving to 8pm (eastern) time slot. The 9pm time slot for MSNBC may include a new, or recycled left wing hack.
In the relatively near term, two well-placed sources predicted to The Daily Beast, Chris Hayes will be relieved of his weak-performing 8 p.m. show All In, to be replaced by the current 9 p.m. host of The Rachel Maddow Show, while a talent search is currently underway to fill the prime-time slot to be vacated by Maddow.
An MSNBC spokesperson—who tried put a happy face on the demotions with talk of prime-time specials and “multiplatform” national reporting for the still-employed Farrow and Reid–declined to comment on the Hayes-Maddow scenario.
As far as tax cheat Al Sharpton, the article cited above mentions that he may be shipped to weekends only. Ed Schutz who also struggles for ratings isn’t mentioned in the article so chances are his low rated left wing propaganda show will continue.

This quote from the article really cracks me up:
“Everybody in the food chain from top to bottom understands that the Olbermann era is over,” said an MSNBC source, referring to the glory days during George W. Bush’s administration when incendiary liberal Keith Olbermann regularly attracted a million viewers—many of them seeking refuge from White House and Republican talking points.
The MSNBC source said, “Going left was a brilliant strategy while it lasted and made hundreds of millions of dollars for Comcast, but now it doesn’t work any more…The goal is to move away from left-wing TV.”
Going left doesn’t work anymore? LOL! It never worked, just look at Air America for example. The NBC-MSNBC brand is so badly damaged that there is no way they could win their credibility back. Everyone who remains at MSNBC is a leftist. Joe Scarborough is the token ‘conservative’ at MSNBC, but he’s to the left of Jeb Bush and David Frum.
