do you have to use the same pundits ALL of the time except for when you're running the 24/7 jail stories on the weekend?
I like Karen Finney, David Corn, Jonathan Capehart, Ari Melber etc...but isn't there anyone else that can give just even a slightly different perspective on the progressive side of things?
You need to stop whining and start asking HARD questions of Mitt Romney and getting to the bottom of why he is avoiding you and the rest of the media except FOX.
Why would you give him any time on your channel to make a speech of ANY kind? Like WHY????

(1,435 posts)That should be enough to show people that Romney isn't confident enough to face the real public.

(2,104 posts)their take on this or that. Often those people are employed by MSNBC as well as having some other job be it a reporter, writer for a magazine or just being an author etc.
New pundits come in from time to time but don't seem to get brought in as much as those in the stable. I imagine when they put those people under contract they want to get their money's worth and not have to take on wildcards or pay outsiders to do what they already pay their own pundits to do.
The best I think you'll get for the progressive side is current TV, The Young Turks and other progressive voices on the radio/internet. MSNBC is only a left leaning channel it really isn't liberal despite having some really liberal liberals on it.
