Also they've been moving everyone around all the time anymore.

I watch a show because I like the way they present the gnus. I like Katie Tur, Ari Melber, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow, Lawrence O'Donnell and Brian Williams.

When they have stand-ins that are below par of course they won't get the ratings. Some of the morning ones leave a lot to be desired. Many are too right leaning, and Chuck Todd tops that bunch.
