Very disappointed in Alex Wagner.

[triron]

Turned her on but then immediately off. Not impressed.

1. Any particular reason?

Poor delivery? Uninteresting topic? Just not a fan?

[demmiblue]

2. Oh. n/t

[JohnSJ]

3. They had a politico person on legitimizing the trump defense

[ZonkerHarris]

4. Thanks for letting us know. I'll stop the presses for this alert.

5. I was only half listening to it, but I thought that guy seemed kind of stupid in a obnoxious sort of

way.

6. disagree

She had an extraordinary interview with Samantha Power last night. Did not catch her show tonight.

[elleng]

7. Silly.

(That's kind.)

[Polly Hennessey]

8. Five minutes of Ms. Wagner and I

change the channel. I have tried to like her program but no luck. I was not a fan when she had a morning show years ago on MSNBC. My opinion remains the same.

9. I think...

... CNN is better tonight. I switch around. I will watch Lawrence, though

[Chippa808]

10. Very happy with Alex Wagner

I joined this site just to reply to this post. All I have to say is ...What? She is a very thorough journalist. If you "turned her on but immediately off" seems you had some kind of preconceived opinion of her. There is a reason she is in Rachel's time slot and that's because of her skills.

11. Welcome to DU!

How did you find DU? Just curious.

[Hortensis]

20. :) Yes, welcome, including your good-sense reply.

It's fine of course to share one's preferences, but ideally should reflect some element of honest evaluation. Even if it's only something like wondering at ones' own reaction to some aspect of persona.

23. I liked Alex when she was on MSNBC before.

She was Rachel's choice to fill her spot. Frankly, I'd have liked Keith Olbermann, but Alex is a very competent and down-to-earth journalist. Which is probably why she is there and Keith, who gets quite emotional (and I love that), isn't.

12. There seems to be, at least among some, a

very judgemental inability to see beyond their own preconceived personal ideas of what some very qualified journalists should say, and how they should say it. Their primary broadcast reason is to inform and educate. Alex Wagner has effectively and professionally done that.

[obnoxiousdrunk]

13. This.

[SalamanderSleeps]

14. This. Too.

[USALiberal]

15. Lol, ok! Thanks for your detailed info!

[brooklynite]

16. An informative discussion...

[themaguffin]

17. Well, given your detailed explanation, I can see why.

[Emile]

18. Very disappointed in Alex Wagner or missing Rachel?

[Emile]

19. Would have been a great time slot for Jen Psaki. .

Eagerly waiting for her to be on MSNBC.

[Celerity]

21. Completely disagree, she is great. nt

[kentuck]

22. I think she does an excellent job.

She's definitely not a right-winger or Trumpster.

She is very thorough and knowledgeable.
