He has not spoken to longtime mentee Rachel Maddow since leaving.

I know :(

[wrestlingdog]

Hahaha, aww! That was my reaction too.

[hllangel]

MTE.

*goes off to cry in a corner*

[bnmc2005]

why he’s not talking to Rachel Maddow,

At first I was like Oh What? ... and then ... I see. BB wanted to leave Rachel out it, like a good poppa should. Why involve the kids?

[snoozeen]

Yeah, I was worried until I saw it's all for her sake.

[simonejester]

Me three. Or five. Or bazillion at this point. *goes off to read fluffy friendship fic*

[bethan_b_bad]

Yeah, same here. THEY'RE STILL FRIENDS IT'S OKAY. *clings to this!*

I like that they picked up Shuster :)

[rock_bottom]

I always found Shuster to be somewhat douchey in his style, but he's a decent reporter. Hope this will good for his career.

I'm guessing this means he's somewhat liberal? He didn't make it apparent as a reporter, and Rachel once denied it... but cool. Good for him. I can't wait for the premiere. I love Current as-is, but this is just going to be sweet.

[newantt]

He was but I found the whole firing so sudden and then to just replace his hour with someone else (I've already forgotten who but was mad then). Another slap at MSNBC is fine with me.

They moved Lawrence O'Donnell's show from the 10 PM slot to 8 PM, and moved The Ed Show from 11 PM to 10 PM. The recasts for all the shows moved up 1 hour.

[grace_om]

He was also interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air today. I caught part of it this afternoon, but it will be re-aired later. Should be podcast at some point too.

[ook]

Thanks for the heads up! I'll be sure to listen to it at the npr.org web site later tonight! :)

Keith recruited Shu-bot, eh?

GIVE HIM A PROPER PAPER BAG MASK THIS TIME :D :D :D
