CNN's morning show very informative and engaging.

Like a mini 60 minutes. I like the way they allow those guests who are providing testimony to their personal stories, the ability to talk without interruption. Lots of compassion.

The segments are on point with what is important for the day. Structured in the right way. And I absolutely love the way they shut down savvy spinmeisters from the other side. It's a no bullshit zone.

for MSNBC:

It's about a five minute delay. But, I think it's great they offer it for us who don't want to pay for cable, free access.

More than a couple of times, when a segment ended and I thought I had a break to walk outside, she came on and I came back to watch. I also feel like the men on the show have raised their game. What they have to say also interests me.

Keilar has become viciously honest about right-wing lies over the last few years. and the faster pace is much more enjoyable to me compared to Maddow.

I don't sense the hesitancy from Keilar that she displayed when dealing with Michael Cohen a few years ago. Not that she did too poorly in that exchange either, but I don't think she'd be as polite about it now.

That was so good!


I think that is when the penny dropped and she realized that there was a huge difference between the Trumpers and ordinary politicians. She grew as an interviewer with that exchange.

any other comparison, but it's a lot more like Fox in its energy, and I liked the zippy Friday roundup of what'd happened during the week. In my little exposure, I haven't seen the conservative spin Joe's slipping in, though that could well change.

Definitely different in any case, though. This is more what I'd been missing to start the day, the choice between Camerota's Fox-lite and Joe not what a choice for me.
