Is Al Sharpton Replacing Cenk Uygur on MSNBC?
People unfortunate enough to be watching MSNBC since Keith Olbermann was forced out in January have noticed a tremendously unqualified "Young Turk" in the 6PM slot that used to be occupied by Ed Schultz.
For the past two weeks, Al Sharpton has filled in for the supposedly vacationing Cenk Uygur, and according to TVNewser, this might be permanent:
TVNewser hears Uygur may be moved out of the 6pm hour, possibly to be replaced by Al Sharpton. When the host changes happened earlier this year, the 6pm hour was simply known as “MSNBC Live,” a telling sign that MSNBC was trying out Uygur.
Sharpton has hosted the 6pm show for the last two weeks. This past week, the hour was second, to Fox News, in A25-54 viewers Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
I guess that would make his metamorphosis from street protest agitator to media darling complete.
As for Uygur, NewsBusters has been rather critical of his performance in the 6PM slot, and would by no means be surprised if he was ousted.
Frankly, he was so hapless the program was unwatchable.
That MSNBC is considering a far-left race-baiting huckster like Sharpton as a replacement would also not be the least bit surprising.
His kind of hate-filled left-wing propaganda will fit in just fine at MSNBC.

I had tuned in for a second and some political discussion was taking place and all I needed to hear was "Well, here's the thing Reverend Al....." to immediately switch channels. "Race baiting huckster" is right and I have no need for him.
Hahaha I was right!!!!!

Sharpton rounds out the MSNBC crew. All they need is somebody who's outwardly anti-Semitic. Maybe Sharpton fills the bill on that, too.
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1527
That same year, anti-Semitic riots erupted in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section after a Hasidic Jewish driver accidentally ran over and killed a 7-year-old black boy. Within three hours, a black mob had hunted down and slain an innocent rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, in retribution. Sharpton declared that it was not merely a car accident that had killed the black child, but rather the "social accident" of "apartheid." He organized angry demonstrations and challenged local Jews––whom he derisively called "diamond merchants"––to “pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house” to settle the score. Stirred in part by such rhetoric, hundreds of Crown Heights blacks took violently to the streets for three days and nights of rioting. Sharpton reacted to the chaos by stating, “We must not reprimand our children for outrage, when it is the outrage that was put in them by an oppressive system.”
Who cares????

But as I've said before, Olbermann left a pretty big cesspool to fill.

Yeah, sounds about their speed, all right.
Who knows? Al might even boost their ratings for a bit, as he is at least entertaining at times. I may even have to tune in once in a while, just to see how low he will go.
Nahh, I'll let Noel do it so I can read about it while choking down my sausage and cheese biscuit with my morning coffee.
As for Cenk, maybe he can get in touch with his hero Hugo Chavez (before Hugo kicks off, I mean) and talk him into selling him a Citgo gas station and convenience store at a big fat discount.
He can use the savings to pop for this shirt, if Fox still has it tucked away in one of their studio prop rooms.
If this move really does happen, it will merely advance my long-held theory that Comcast only purchased MSNBC as a tax write-off.

First of all, who freaking cares what MSNBC does with Cenk Uygur; no one knew who he was to start with; no one gave a twit about anything he may have thought; and hardly anyone except the liberal zombie class watched him. And secondly, Al Sharpton a host on MSNBC? What a shock! Again, another low life race card baiter, receiving bounty from the ruling class, and we're suppose to be impressed. I guess it's a lost cause; we thought perhaps Comcast would add some common sense to their NBCU asset, but that's not going to happen. They're just like GE, bought and paid for by the goverment.

In general, Leftist media hacks are some of the angriest, least likable people walking the earth today. But the angrier they get, the more I'm pleased because it's evidence that things aren't going to their liking. Having such a 'historic' presidency should be Nirvana for a leftist media hack.
Sink Yogurt is probably the worst of the worst. First, like Obamo, he's a man-child. Second, he feigns 'objectivity.' Obamo is his Allah, and everything he says is filtered through that prism.
I hope Sink Yogurt disappears.

MSNBC just keep proving they really are not a news organization. They are an arm of the democRAT party. If Comcast wants to keep them on the air they would not even look at someone as RACIST as Sharpton. He is as much of a liar as Obama. Why would anyone want to watch such drivel?
I have never watched MSNBC, I will NEVER watch them.

So now we get the Racist Al Sharpton, WOO HOO, time to celebrate! Now instead of getting uber-liberal views, we get uber-liberal views AND uber-racist views thrown in to boot! Good television, and outstanding marketing, they should have no problems being the real number news outlet now right! WRONG! WHAT A JOKE of a network!
