"While MS & NBC people continue to do outstanding work, it is taking a huge toll on the skeleton staff at MSNBC," a tipster says. "The hiring freeze means there are dozens of open positions and the burn out is overwhelming. If MSNBC continues this kind of coverage, you will see it get increasingly sloppy. The producers just can't keep up. But it's not like there is anyone noticing. [Rick Kaplan] was busy EP'ing that telethon and no one has replaced Griffin or Perlmutter. It's just falling apart." Can anyone confirm?...
