- Lawrence O’Donnell reruns have better ratings on MSNBC than Sharpton’s show.
- Sharpton claims he didn’t know that he couldn’t make endorsements anymore now that he has an MSNBC show. Maybe MSNBC did the world a favor after all and fell on the sword.
But in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, Mr. Sharpton said he wasn’t aware of any MSNBC rules that prohibit him from endorsing candidates. “I cannot write checks, but I can make endorsements if I choose,” he explained.Lauren Skowronski, a network spokeswoman, said, “Rev. Sharpton will be adhering to NBC News policies now that he’s an MSNBC host. NBC News prohibits employees from campaigning for candidates without prior consent from management.”
When told that Mr. Sharpton believed he was free to endorse candidates–and just merely barred from making political donations–Ms. Skowronski replied, “I can let you know that Rev. Sharpton is aware of the policy and has agreed to adhere accordingly.”
