(11,225 posts)Smart and honestly informed. Easy to believe because she is so genuine. You can't fake that.

(18,579 posts)I wish they would show her in early morning instead of Chris..
Alex Wagner is Good , too. I know it is hard for her to replace Rachel. She is doing a great job with her guests. More soft spoken.
The 2 shows I do watch on CNN Are Jim Acosta on weekends. He needs an evening show.

(18,579 posts)That I prefer calm hosts with huge stories.
The constant hyper types get to me. Nicolle and Jim Acosta do that for me. Alex is beginning to do that for me.
I love ODonnel, but never seem to catch him. I need to record, but have so many now it is impossible to watch when you have an outside life.
Am now helping a couple who are just getting into the landscaping business. Have never seen such hard workers. They redid all my flower beds, stone all around, planted new evergreens. He is even going to fix a scratch on my front fender that someone put there. I am advertising him all over, including Google Guide.

(255,679 posts)He has the experience and background to explain and analyze what's going on and he does have excellent guests. He also reminds me of my Dad...
I also like Ari Melber a lot - he has the legal background, and as long as he sticks with that rather than showing the relevance to song lyrics...
And that sounds like a terrific business, kudos for helping them get started - I could sure use the help if they were anywhere near me!

(18,579 posts)3 hours there,shot all to heck! Thank goodness I do do my work,errands and Social life early!
And Ali! At least he is on early.
For Nicolle to beat out the other stations us really something!
Now, that Trump did his Jonesboro speech in Ohio to a tiny crowd packed together abd humiliated JD Vance most people are turning away. Trump is in the last stages.
Rhiannon12866
(255,679 posts)And Ari has had some amazing guests, he's willing to have TFG's enablers on and they've confessed/boasted about their crimes on his show!
And I'm not holding my breath about TFG, though I have never understood why anyone would possibly think that such an offensive ignorant blowhard would be suitable for public office to begin with. Before the 2016 election, I got together with a group of girls that I grew up with (summer camp) and we all agreed that we'd vote for next person who drove by sooner than for him...

rubbersole
(11,225 posts)She wasn't on TV often being communications director. By some accounts she was quite the "stern" inflexible wall for people looking for answers. For detractors of bush/cheney, she wasn't popular. Now, how can't you just love the way she gets right to the point(?)...and her easy smile/laugh.

hlthe2b
(114,004 posts)does NOT engage in "bothsiderism" and false equivalence (a despicable practice and something I was deeply depressed to see a couple of posters here supposedly well trained in journalism defending recently).
I suspect the skills she honed as communications director (even with Bush* and McCain) has provided the insight to make her particularly effective on her show. I would not be surprised if Jen Psaki may be similarly effective and enjoyable to watch.
