David Sirota is in New York City today, where he may or may not be meeting with people who may or may not be associated with cable television.  As part of our campaign on Open Left to help David win the new MSNBC show that will follow Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, let's offer him a little support during his trip.

At BlogPac, we have set up a form that makes it easy to email MSNBC, and ask them to make David the host of the new show that will follow Keith and Rachel.  The David Sirota for MSNBC Facebook group, which is now over 1,700 members, started this action last night.  As of this writing, over 150 200 people have already sent emails to MSNBC.

Let's show our support for David during his visit to NYC.  Send an email to MSNBC and, if you haven't already, join the David Sirota for MSNBC Facebook group.  Let's help David make it in New York, so that he can make it everywhere on MSNBC.

Good luck David!

But I also support Sam Seder and Cenk Uygur. I like all three.


Ditto, sort of (0.00 / 0)
I love David as a columnist and as a guest on the various cable shows that he's appeared on.  But can he carry a one hour show as host?  Besides being passionate and knowledgeable about the issues, will he also be entertaining?  Without the latter, people aren't going to watch on a regular basis.

If he gets the show, I hope it's a big success.  But I think Cenk will put on a better show.  I think to be successful in media you have to have a big personality.  That's what Rush, Hannity, and O'Reilly have on the right, and what Olbermann, Maddow, and Franken have on the left.  And Cenk has it too.  Not so sure about David.

Plus, I love former conservatives who have learned the error of his ways.  Who better to convert the indepenedents and moderate Republicans that are trying to find a different way.

But if he does get the show, he does already have his own theme song.  Muh Muh My Sirota!  :)

Make a small change to the email.  In the sentence that starts "In a cable news landscape that, despite recent moves by MSNBC, is still dominated tiresome, discredited conservative blowhards..." but a 'by' in between dominated and tiresome.  If I were at MSNBC I would get tired of seeing the same mistake over and over (although the probably don't read them that closely).  

Good luck David.
