I have this list of need to do actions for the game of If I ran MSNBC. Getting rid of Andrea Mitchell is at or near the top of the list. I can think of a few other much more deserving people on staff who deserve a prime showcase like hers every weekday. Im sure she enjoys that cushy anchor slot in the nice safe air conditioned TV studio with the staff assigned to her hour. If I didnt force her retirement, Id send her back out on the road, following Pompeo or somebody comparable. Or maybe assign her to the national police shooting beat. So she doesnt get the privilege of that safe, insular, and highly glamorous anchor job in the big city where she gets hair and makeup services for free every day. Or covering one of the GOP primary challengers to trump. Out on the road. Where you live out of a suitcase for weeks at a time, and have to stop and think about where and in which time zone you are because it all becomes a blur after awhile.
You wouldnt be a pampered vainglorious Georgetown cocktail party fixture anymore if I were in charge, Andrea. Or you could always retire. I kinda like the idea of a Joy Reid or another talent toiling in the back of the vineyard in that coveted timeslot. OR, maybe coaxing the wonderful and classy Tamron Hall back and give it to her. Hall became a work casualty while the (male) NBC brass were too busy hyperventilating over their shiny new presumed Wonder Woman and miserably mismatched misfit Megyn Kelly. Good Grief what a colossal blunder THAT was.
