Here's Huffington Post on the news:
The New York Times reported Monday that the network is developing a show for Chris Hayes, the Washington correspondent for The Nation. Hayes is a frequent guest host for both Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. The two of them got their shows by... being frequent guest hosts.It couldn't happen to a better writer. This is Digby on Chris's work, well worth clicking through to read. (This one is a good place to start.) And here's a great profile of Chris by Adele Stan at Alternet.
Interestingly, the Huff Post article offers this tidbit:
The Times writes that Hayes is one of a number of people who MSNBC has preemptively signed to new, long-term contracts to prevent them from making any deals with Current TV in the wake of Keith Olbermann's move there. Olbermann, whose new show starts Monday night, has already announced his own line of regular contributors, including Michael Moore and Markos Moulitsas[.]That's presented as "competition," but I prefer "expanded opportunity" for the best among us. Nice to see it.
Good luck, Chris!
