MSNBC Replaces Cenk Uygur With Al Sharpton: Uygur Burns His Bridges
In April, he said, Mr. Griffin “called me into his office and said that he’d been talking to people in Washington, and that they did not like my tone.” He said he guessed Mr. Griffin was referring to White House officials, though he had no evidence for the assertion. He also said that Mr. Griffin said the channel was part of the “establishment,” and “that you need to act like it.”
In an interview on Wednesday, Mr. Griffin denied Mr. Uygur’s accusations and sounded disappointed that he had decided not to accept the weekend position. “We never told Cenk what to say or what not to say,” Mr. Griffin said.
The “people in Washington,” he said, were MSNBC producers who were responsible for booking guests for the 6 p.m. hour, and some of them had said that Mr. Uygur’s aggressive body language and overall demeanor were making it harder to book guests. “The conversation was, ‘Hey, look, here’s how we can make it better’ — about physical things on the show,” Mr. Griffin said.
A few personal comments on Uygur, coming from someone (me) who years ago aspired to do talk radio and loves to monitor broadcast and cable talk (some of the best talk is on XM’s POTUS).
Unlike a lot of folks, I never had a strong feeling about Uygur. I never cared for his Young Turks radio show, but it didn’t anger me or bore me. It was just as ideologically predictable as listening to Sean Hannity on the right. And on MSNBC? At first I didn’t warm up to him but, the more I watched him, the more I would watch his show and understood his personality — but often couldn’t finish watching it. The reason? He seemed to like to define people who didn’t have his agenda — often accusing them of bad motives. His positions became predictable without being entertaining or enlightening.
In the case of his criticism White House and Barack Obama, he often came across as a knee jerk liberal — with the greatest emphasis on the second word.
The contrast with Sharpton could not be more clear: Sharpton is also no shrinking violent in expressing his opinion, but he can often make a comment that is funny. Uygur was a bit of a loose cannon on-air, but not so much that it should have cost him his job; Ed Schultz is infinitely more bellicose as a host and astonishingly he’s still firmly in place in prime-time, despite a couple of recent, entirely predictable hiccups.

Sarah Palin Blasts Mitt Romney, Praises Michele Bachmann's ...
Sarah Palin is mad and she's not going to take it anymore.
The former Alaska governor and tea party activist was a guest on Sean Hannity's Fox News show Tuesday night to further criticize the debt-ceiling deal and condemn Vice President Joe Biden for allegedly saying that conservative tea party lawmakers "acted like terrorists" during the debt-ceiling negotiations.
"I'm gonna stick up for people who at this point are being called terrorists and being accused of waging jihad against our own country," she said. "Enough is enough and I'm not going to sit here and take it anymore."
She also chastised Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney for not voicing his stance on the debt-ceiling debate sooner.
"Bless his heart, I have respect for Mitt Romney, but I do not have respect for what he has done through this debt increase debate," she said. "He did this, he waited until it was a done deal that we would increase the debt ceiling and more money would be spent, more money would be borrowed and spent on bigger government, and then he came out and made a statement that he didn't like the deal after all. You can't defer an issue and assume that the problem is then going to be avoided."
"You're inviting a crisis," she added. "Don't just wait and sit back."
Did any of the Republican contenders please Palin?
"Michele Bachmann," she said (Bachmann voted against the debt-ceiling increase). "She spoke out and she cast her vote according to her principles, she stood true."
Palin maintained that she's "an optimist heading into this next election cycle," though she still hasn't made up her mind about her role in it. She told Hannity she's "getting closer to making the decision, of course, for legal reasons, for practical reasons, um, but ah, still haven't made up my mind yet."
"But doggone it," she added, "I want these candidates who are in there, I want them to not be sitting back."
As for President Barack Obama, Palin said, "He is so off base in this that I tell you, 2012 cannot come soon enough."
I heard nothing out of Romney, until everything was over. He,s a follower,not a leader. Sarah Palin is a real leader. She will fight liberalism,Obama, and cowardly Republicans,who cave in. What a great President she will be. I saw that "fire in her belly" on Hannity tonight. She,s a real deal "moma grizzly", a fierce fighter. She will lead us to victory, over the cancerous liberal policies,that are destroying our Country.Sarah Palin,,an American hero!
