But Griffin says he’s more focused on MSNBC’s own lineup changes in prime time – the cable TV home of Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann – than CNN’s. MSNBC is spending the summer getting its new 10 pm show – “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” – ready for its premiere Sept. 27.

“I’m not going to worry about them,” he said of CNN. “I’ve got enough troubles for myself. I recognize that they’re going to do everything they can to come back at us. They’ve been too successful and they have too much revenue at stake not to.

“But, that said, we have a vision. We have a real sense of who we are. Everything we do has a lens that it goes through, and Lawrence [O'Donnell] fits through that lens,” Griffin said.
