Rita Cosby tells the National Ledger that she was way too smart to not take a job at the lowest-rated cable news network in the country. Come again?
"It was never a question of my being unhappy at Fox, it was that I'd have needed a lobotomy not to take this offer. A major prime time show in a prime spot -- it was just a tremendous opportunity." So says Rita Cosby, whose nightly "Live & Direct" show has become MSNBC's top-rated program since its launch this past summer.
Let me get this straight. Cosby left the ratings-force-of-nature that is FNC--would have needed a lobotomy to stay, even!--to join an outfit that's a total, shall we say, NONO--News Outlet in Name Only. Suddenly her lobotomy statement makes sense--she had one anyway and she's just getting out in front of that news. And as far as having the "top-rated program at MSNBC"? Isn't that a lot like having the cell with the best view in prison?
