Bye Bye, Bowtie
The Bowtie Revolution is over. Orville Reddenbocker is gone and his son is MIA. Mr. Peanut hasn’t made any new commercials. and now Tucker Carson
has been canned:
The seemingly lone conservative at MSNBC is out of the anchor chair, at least for now. The Associated Press reports that Tucker Carlson’s “Tucker” show on that cable news network has been cancelled. He’ll reportedly be replaced by NBC firebrand David Gregory. Gregory’s show, Race for the White House, begins one week from tonight at 6 p.m.
MSNBC says this and other changes the network is making are in response to the growing demand for more political news. (Gosh, it seems like that is all they do now besides all those prison reality shows and constant repeats of To Catch a Predator.) Other changes announced are that NBC reporter Andrea Mitchell will now permanently anchor one hour a day on MSNBC Monday through Friday and that Countdown With Keith Olbermann will rerun every night at 10 p.m.
Honestly - I don’t see what was so compelling about this guy. He doesn’t bring anything to the table other than his propensity to dress weird and have a conservative viewpoint on a non-conservative network. Anyone schmuck can do that. Perhaps one that dressed decently and brought interesting and thought provoking angles to each story instead of just being a conservative-talking-points parrot.
And, as the article points out, all MSNBC has other than politics is repeats of Dateline. What is the point of MSNBC? Is Microsoft really contributing? Other than Countdown with Keith Olbermann, there’s nothing that I would watch.
As far as the Bowtie Revolution, I guess there’s still Dhani Jones. He took his bowties overseas to play rugby!
