What’s up with Mike Barnicle?
Mike Barnicle will soon end his Boston Herald column. The sometimes-contributor to MSNBC offered to help out the struggling Herald by dropping his services. “I didn’t want to be sitting around collecting a check from the Herald while someone who has been over there for 25 years or 25 minutes was getting laid off,” he told competing Boston paper The Boston Globe.
Barnicle appeared on MSNBC’s Countdown (with guest host Allison Stewart) Friday, and the second line on his name super was The Boston Herald.
A few months ago, there was some speculation that he would be joining MSNBC full time. The Globe says Barnicle “has another time-consuming writing project to work on.”
