Tucker Carson’s show canceled on MSNBC

I must say, that I am quite saddened to hear this….

The Story: Tucker Carlson’s Show Canceled (via mediabistro.com: TVNewser)

Quote:

Insiders tell TVNewser Tucker Carlson‘s 6pmET show Tucker is getting the axe, but Carlson stays on as a political contributor to all MSNBC shows at least through the 2008 election. The official announcement, expected tomorrow, will include details about who will replace Tucker at 6pmET as well as other political programming additions. Sources say the network is going to beef up its schedule with more NBC News talent.

In recent days, Jossip, as well as other blogs, ratcheted up the talk that Tucker would be replaced "for a new project." In its 33-month run, Carlson’s show has had two names, four time slots and multiple formats. At 6pmET, it builds on its Harbdall lead-in on some days, but loses audience on others.

Carlson is expected to host the show through next week, with his new role and title to take effect March 17. We’re told he’ll also be reporting from the campaign trail.

I must say, that I am quite disappointed to hear this. Tucker Carlson was about the only Conservative person that I could listen to, without wanting to throw stuff at the T.V. I mean, yeah, he had his quirks, He could be a bit of asshole, but you know, can’t we all?

I never considered Tucker to be, what I call, a "Fox News" Conservative. besides, he’s more of a Libertarian Conservative.

Of  course, the Liberal’s are squealing with delight and glee. That is to be expected, and I can see their point, But now I feel like MSNBC is losing the balance, that made me leave CNN and tune in over there to that network in the first place.

Others might be happy to hear this, but I’m not.

It’s a sad day indeed. Sad

Others, Mostly Liberals who are happy to hear about it: Crooks and Liars, Think Progress, The Bilerico Project, The Seminal, I Am TRex, Patterico’s Pontifications, Pandagon, Hoffmania! and Liberal Fascism
