MSNBC fires Phil Donahue because of poor ratings

The Phil's show was competing with the factor with Bill.O. Reilly and Fox was way ahead of MSNBC in that hour from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Thankfully I dont watched him regulary but sometimes I changed channels and saw his show and now I know why the ratings are not good with him. :lol:

I saw part of last nights interview with Rosie and it really was annoying.

I watched it when I heard Dennis Miller was going to be on there. Phil was unbearable but Dennis Miller sure has done his homework on Bush, Iraq, etc. I'd like to see Dennis Miller debate Rosie O'Donnell...hehe

I watched occasionally. I am one who prefers more of a news format compared to the commentary/talk show format so I usually don't watch during that hour on any of the networks.

Great_One has the honor of being the only one ever permanently banned from this message board and the Storm2k chatroom. He is so bad you can hear the whine when he types. :o
