Glad to see he’s gone.
Lack is the guy who transformed MSNBC from a (at least temporarily) moderately “liberal” network to a haven for Republican Never Trumpers. He fired most of the moderate liberals onboard and replaced them with serious conservatives who just happened to (rightly) despise Trump.
I mentioned earlier — can’t remember when, exactly — that it was going to be interesting where they’d go as a network after Trump departs the scene.
Without Trump, what good are those Republican Never Trumpers to an audience that trends more left of center? Would they tune in to watch the Nicole Wallaces, the Joe Scarboroughs, the Steve Schmidts and Bill Kristols talk about their (right-wing) social and economic views, sans Trump?
And, of course, the parent company, Comcast, has long been quite “conservative.”
In the long run, it matters little, one way or another. Perhaps it matters not a whit. But cuz I want some distraction from a sense of overall doom and gloom, I think about stuff like that now and then.
