Amid a flurry of articles about trouble at MSNBC, one blog, Mediaite, fingers Ronan Farrow's show as the probable first to go.

And here's the one about Ronan:
MEDIAITE: MSNBC Eyes Canceling Ronan Farrow Show Amidst Schedule Shakeup

I know people always say this but I'm surprised to hear the show's still on. I don't watch MSNBC regularly but I just presumed the Boy Blunder had been canned.
He has flown so under the radar, who knows, and honestly who cares?

He can join Chelsea Clinton in the club of people who have powerful parents but no talent.
I think one of MSNBC's problems is that, unlike FOX, it's core audience isn't bedridden and close to death. "Liberals" (younger ones) get their news from a variety of sources online and aren't fixated on one O'Reilly-esque deity to feed them their "news".

Sweetpea, don't put your weird sex stuff on us. Nobody pops a boner for Ronan Farrow but you.

"Its", you moron.

Wynbish, as you can tell, I just copied Jordan's post, mistake and all.
True, but Jordan didn't call an audience "morons," insinuating stupidity and probably lackluster grammar skills. So, it's ironic that you would call people moronic while exhibiting grammar skills that were idiotic.
Besides, the biggest morons are employed by Fox News

Whatever "it" is--that star-making quality that the best television journalists have--Ronan's never had it. That said, I've always wondered why the network that was so interested in turning him into a brand saddled him with potentially the worst time slot in the line-up. The audience they were trying to attract with him would presumably be otherwise occupied in the middle of the day with, y'know, work. The network deserves as much blame for putting so much stock in an untested non-journalist as Farrow himself deserves for not growing at all in his role.
If he's canned, though, he'll land on his feet. It never hurts to have a pretty face, a famous last name, and a few prestigious degrees. And I bet some of MSNBC's stable of young climbers (Kornacki, Melber, Krystal Ball) are sharpening their claws to get his spot.

I've heard Melvin is being strongly considered for Chuck Todd's old job.

Miss Ball should have used her middle name. How the hell can anybody take her seriously? Why not let her co-host a show with Mike Hunt?

I always wonder if her parents hoped she'd grow up to be a stripper.

Real hippie parents would have been cool with her picking another name, man.
Maybe if they had, like, a crystal ball or something they could have seen what it would do to her, man. Or something like that.

Krystal Ball always reminds me of the Barr kids that I went to high school with: Clark Barr and his sister, Candice "Candy" Barr. Still, she would never change it. She might get ridicule, but it's not a name you're going to forget easily.

Hippie parents give their kids names like River, Rain or Summer.
Poor white trash parents give their kids names like Krystal Ball or Shepherd Smith.
Crazy people give their kids names like Ronan, Satchel or Moses
