OK, so here we are, the liberal media is out of bankruptcy with a new president, Mark Green, and decisions have to be made.
My complaint:
Losing Marc Maron was a mistake of the last management, but not paying him what he was owed was the choice of Mark Green so he's gone. That being said, moving Sam Sedar from a five day three hour slot to a three hour weekend show to critique the "Meet the Establishment" Sunday shows from the bloggers perspective could also be a huge mistake. It's only compounded by filling Sam Sedar's space with a highly rated New York "liberal" with a single name and no national recognition. As Green excused his decision, to paraphrase: In the 9-12 slot, we don't want anything too intellectual taxing or thoughtful going on!
Thankfully, DK starts it's day at 6am Eastern, so there'll still be a liberal area to think in from 9-12 that Lionel and Springer before him wont need to think about.
However, David Bender (Politically Direct) interviewed Mark Green last night about the changes, below the fold is a more or less accurate schedule and line up I gleaned from the fireside chat.
