The unwriten rule:
Since Phil Donahue’s ouster, MSNBC has only canceled shows that were, on a regular basis, either (1)getting less than 200,000 viewers, or (2)getting less than 100,000 in the demo. That was Tucker when he got moved to daytime; but that’s not Tucker today.

I think its about time MSNBC gives someone else a chance. Tucker has been around for a while and he fails to make an impact.

Dan Abrams makes regular visits to Tucker’s show to discuss the Duke case. That seems to indicate to me that he supports Tucker.

Tucker should be canned, however MSNBC had a great year last year and should continue in 2007.

Not really. Capus was highlighting Prime Time and Carlson isn’t part of that.

I should of phrased that better Keyser. I just meant that with his poor ratings and the fact he isn’t mentioned in the memo sees to indicate his time is short lived.

Because Tucker is not mentioned, doesn’t mean he got the boot, … does it? He was live-blogging the SOTU last night… But then again?

It is about time Tucker got the boot. Maybe we should begin speculating on who would be a good replacement for him.
