It's been a great couple of weeks with lots of winning, and it looks like you can add one more piece of good news to the pile.
MSNBC has been in big trouble with ratings and they continued to wither in January, as we reported. We already have seen they were making their "stars" like Rachel Maddow take big cuts. Then Chuck Todd announced last Friday that he would be leaving after two decades there.

The latest: Andrea Mitchell is stepping down as the host of her show "Andrea Mitchell Reports" after 17 years.
She had previously indicated she might do so, and she plans on continuing as NBC News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent and chief Washington correspondent.
I'm not sure who was watching her anymore. Even many of the folks on the left who watch and like MSDNC don't seem to like her, if their comments on X are any indication.
Will she be off to a podcast soon, along with her colleagues who are leaving and being jettisoned from their jobs? It remains to be seen, if she's still doing some reporting for NBC/MSNBC, but that seems to be where they all end up. Yet one more nail in the legacy media's coffin, as the implosion continues.
So let's send Mitchell off with a reminder of some of the fun moments she's graced us with in the past.
Here she is telling an MRC reporter to please make sure that she stays six feet away from her in October 2020, when the reporter asks her about their Hunter Biden coverage.
We asked Andrea Mitchell of @NBCNews why she and NBC aren't covering the bombshell story about the Biden family's corrupt business dealings.

She said "we cover what is reliably truthful" and then walked away. pic.twitter.com/33bF3LAkIp
"Reliably truthful" -- you mean things that Democrats would prefer you cover rather than the actual truth? And wait, isn't this the same network that went crazy pushing "Russia collusion"? Reliably truthful, my eye.
Here's Trump responding to reporters. Where is Andrea? Whoops, there she is, looking like a goblin trying to get through the line.

Then she got called out for falling asleep on air. Shades of Joe Biden.

Then of course the reason people don't like Kamala Harris can't be because she's a lousy candidate with nothing/bad policies to offer -- it has to be because of misogyny:
NBC's Andrea Mitchell says Kamala Harris needs to "double down on more interviews and serious interviews.”

"She's got such a big problem with men... big problem. But also the business world, they don't think she's serious. They don't think she's a heavyweight." pic.twitter.com/0knAdqbFdf
Adios, Andrea. I suspect you will not be missed.
