Big Changes at MSNBC and NBC

There appears to be a migration of former Fox News hosts moving to MSNBC and NBC. Greta Van Susteren will host a new show, airing 6pm on MSNBC, called "For The Record". Van Susteren joins another former Fox family member, Megyn Kelly, who will be hosting an NBC weekday and Sunday news show. The emphasis appears to be on attracting seasoned journalist who have a built-in audience they can bring with them.

MSNBC and NBC also appear to be making a "right" turn, (signing up Van Susteren and Kelly would give that distinct impression), perhaps just in times to capitalize on changes in the nation's capitol. What we're wondering is, will Ari Melber and Steve Kornacki (who previously hosted his own show) be utilized for anything other than fill-ins! Melber and Kornacki appeal to a younger audience and would be wise hosting choices, as is Joy Reid, to build a millennial audience.

Politics Becoming Popular Spectator Sport

Image
Politics TCC started down this road with a post yesterday, Funny Response to Trump Tweetstorm , that was a GIFF poking fun at White House press secretary Sean Spicer's response to President Trump's cell phone usage to tweet. Politics seems to be a uniting force, both pro and against Trump, on social media and in everyday conversations with Americans commenting, "Did you hear..." "How about..."  "Can you believe...." Stephen Colbert , host of CBS ' "Late Night with Stephen Colbert",  has moved from 2nd place to 1st since the inauguration of Trump. Other late-night hosts are also experiencing a boost in ratings as it appears Americans are using these vehicles as either proof of political views (confirmation or conspiracy) or just as a coping mechanism. Each day Trump seems provide new fodder for late-night television hosts to sink their teeth into.  clipartfox.com

Looks Like Kerry Washington Couldn't Fix SNL

Image
Reviews for Kerry Washington's appearance on SNL , considering Saturday Night Live was dealing with a very public issue concerning the lack of black females on the show, seems to have focused the diversity problem (like a laser) on the writing staff as well. Could diversity among the writing staff be the issue, too?
