I don't need all of Ari Melber's pop culture and music references and don't find them amusing. Joy Reid talks faster than most people think and frequently cuts guests off as if she wasn't listening to them, but planning what SHE was going to say. Yes, Chris Hayes is much too animated, but some of his presentations are excellent. If only he could sit still! So wiggly.

Nicole Wallace is one of the easiest people to listen to. She is very calm, articulate, and pays due attention to her guests. She seems like she is really listening, not just waiting for them to finish talking. Right now Brian Williams is my favorite. Rachel used to be, but now I rarely watch her anymore.

Am I the only one on DU who thinks Maddow is way overrated? CrispyQ Nov 2021 #1

She can get long-winded, but I still babylonsister Nov 2021 #2

Her show should be 30 minutes. She draws everything out just to fill her current hour slot. PSPS Nov 2021 #8

Lol! Ok! USALiberal Nov 2021 #13

I wish they'd move Brian to an earlier slot, too. -nt CrispyQ Nov 2021 #14

I agree. If they moved Brian to an earlier spot, maybe I'd get more sleep. Frustratedlady Nov 2021 #21

I agree with a lot of what you say. CrispyQ Nov 2021 #24

Someone whines about that every week. It's your issue. USALiberal Nov 2021 #12

Actually LOTS of people complain PatSeg Nov 2021 #49

Yet somehow everyone wants her??? USALiberal Nov 2021 #52

Well, obviously not everyone PatSeg Nov 2021 #55

You would be wrong..... USALiberal Nov 2021 #60

Some of her most loyal fans have stopped watching her PatSeg Nov 2021 #61

Her show is not for those with short attention spans conditioned to short sound bites Fiendish Thingy Nov 2021 #16

Exactly right, FT. She has a way of bringing me down to earth and sorting me lamp_shade Nov 2021 #19

Lol ! I was just about to say something similar, it's not for those OnDoutside Nov 2021 #20

Well that's a little insulting, as were some other comments, but whatthefuckever. -nt CrispyQ Nov 2021 #36

Deal with it USALiberal Nov 2021 #45

Understand. Perhaps I should give it another try. jimfields33 Nov 2021 #68

I think that may have been the beginning of the end for me PatSeg Nov 2021 #56

Yep. The opening 17 minutes of Rachel working her way thru the thesaurus Sibelius Fan Nov 2021 #26

I think some people just need really short stories and not details USALiberal Nov 2021 #47

"Working her way thru the thesaurus PatSeg Nov 2021 #57

This is very old history. I also complained ages ago. vanlassie Nov 2021 #70

I wouldn't think you're the only one but Sunsky Nov 2021 #69

It's the content, not necessarily the style, that appeals to me. Sneederbunk Nov 2021 #3

Constant repetition Pantagruel Nov 2021 #4

Yes, but the voters who need to hear her will never tune in. -nt CrispyQ Nov 2021 #9

Those people do not watch Rachel Maddow PatSeg Nov 2021 #58

CNN may be in third place, but I think that is misleading. Those who watch MSNBC I suspect JohnSJ Nov 2021 #5

Well, at least they got Kasie Hunt. demmiblue Nov 2021 #6

Chris Hayes and maybe Capehart are the only ones with comparable intellect Fiendish Thingy Nov 2021 #17

Yes! I think Jen would be great. She could take a weekend program if she didn't want to work a lot Frustratedlady Nov 2021 #22

Quite a change from the Air America days gulliver Nov 2021 #25

Just give her MEET THE PRESS. NBC I'm begging you. ZonkerHarris Nov 2021 #35

I'm sure Rachael maddow realizes she would have a lot less control over content and presentation PortTack Nov 2021 #37

I like to wait until she's been on for 30 min or so, then rewind and fast-forward through the ads. Towlie Nov 2021 #38

Glad she didn't go there. LiberalFighter Nov 2021 #53

I am glad that Rachel is staying at MSNBC LetMyPeopleVote Nov 2021 #62
