BamaJeepsterMSNBC adds another big name liberal to their lineup
George Will joins MSNBCWashington Post columnist George Will has joined MSNBC as a contributor.
Will, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, was most recently a contributor at Fox News, though he became a free agent in January when Fox declined to renew his contract. Before joining Fox in 2013, he spent three decades as a contributor with ABC.
A conservative columnist, Will broke from the Republican Party in June over candidate Donald Trump's controversial comments about a judge with Mexican heritage, and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan's ultimate endorsement of Trump.
Since January, Will has been an increasingly regular presence on MSNBC, with the contributor deal formalizing the relationship. Will joins two others who have recently become contributors to the network: former White House press secretary Josh Earnest and New York Times White House correspondent Glenn Thrush.

ChuckWallIt's Roller Derby. They are enemies during the match and friends out to dinner after the show. It's about earning a good living.

83v45magnaYeah, a friend of mine put it well regarding partisanship in media when he said: 'Not many of them generally burn bridges because at the end of the day, they have to work somewhere.'

I'll second that. Let's add Geraldo to the list as well.

RipleyA great addition to MSNBC's inside-the-beltway, big-government circle jerk.

Seems like he's been around forever. I remember he spoke at my brother's college graduation...
...in 1979!

I met George Will once at the Cardinals winter warm up. He's a huge baseball fan.
I used to think he was pretty sensible, but he went off the rails when he refused to accept that Republicans could nominate Trump.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

And Shep Smith.
They don't retire because it's easy work and they think they remain relevant. A production staff prepares topics and talking points. Someone else does make-up and wardrobe and you go on camera for a few minutes. Easy money.

Yes, they know the topic ahead of time... and they know the talking points.
But I don't think anyone would dispute the intelligence of either George Will or Charles Krauthammer. Easy work? Maybe. But it does take knowledge and intelligence to be any good.
