I've received so much email about this, a quick explanation: I decided to focus on my writing and play the field on cable news instead of being attached to one channel, MSNBC. I have a happy home blogging and doing videos for CQ-Roll Call -- and thoroughly enjoy interacting with the many commenters there. Lately, I've been bored by what I was doing on TV. So, a reboot on that front feels right for me.

really, with liberals like some of you'ns seem to be, who needs righties?
lol
I have seen people quit and end up with a much more high paying retainer at Fox. You may think MSNBC is lefty, I and can agree with you on that. But if you think your practical senses will do anything to tamp down a media outlet that would hire and give stage to Glen Beck you are sorely mistaken.
I like you, I hope you will be picked up by a profit making company, and I pray it is not Fox.
but just too many ads and stump speeches (like there's a diff lol)..
everyone is talking ''at'' each other and the audience.. instead of talking ''to'' same.
i use my tv once a year now for the masters and bless their hearts they keep the crap to a minimum.
when i used to watch.. you were one of the very few highlights btw.
It really don't see why it's really much of a mystery to you why they "care". I believe it has something to do with your statements that I read earlier this morning.
"i simply could not any longer endure being a cartoon player for lefty games, just gotta move on to higher ground even if there's no oxygen" and "Crawford claims he is appearing on Fox News' "Fox & Friends" on Monday."
I honestly *don't* care what you do, but it's absurd for you to make provocative statements and then expect nobody to be provoked.
You've been on the network for many years and haven't gotten any farther than being asked in to comment on a subject or sit on a panel with 3 other people in a split screen. Some people can be content being a bit player for their whole lives, some can't. I understand how that could get boring after many years and that you would like to see if you can go a little farther doing something else somewhere else.
But, it is probably not the best idea for you to trash your former employer and instead just go forward to look for new opportunities.
Well, Mister Crawford, this isn't unique to cable news. Just watch any of the networks and you'll get even less substantive debate. We are owned. But at least you were collecting a paycheck. Good luck, whatever you choose to do.

You folks should have such a life.
Pat Buchanan's mug is on MSNBC 5 hours a day on anyone of the plethora of "panels" they have on to discuss topics at all hours of the day. They have Republican strategists and opposing views on all the time.
Chris Matthews' favorite guest is Hot Tub Tom Delay. Rachel Maddow has invited Lynn Cheney to come on her show a million times; Cons are scared to death to go on Rachel's show because she won't let their propaganda go unchallenged.
But, just on Morning Joe everyday and on Hardball, they have several guests on and contributors from all sides. On MJ, they give them equal time, don't shout down, and call BS on people who throw out talking points. They did it to Axelrod...they've done it to any number of GOP guests. MJ is a great show and truly represents the balance that Fox falsely claims their channel to be.
