Oct 2013

I usually do not watch Mourning Joe as it's just not a good way to start off the day (angry). I wish MSNBC would dump the conservatives and Tea Baggers. If I turn on MSNBC, I usually wait until after Chuck Todd's show is over, as he annoys the hell out of me.

Real sanity on MSNBC doesn't start until the afternoon shows, although Thomas Roberts and Andrea Mitchell are OK (Roberts has actually been pretty good lately, but I always remember who Mitchell is married to and she loses big points for that). Alex Wagner, Tamron Hall, and Martin Bashir are good, and of course The Ed Show, Rev. Sharpton's show, etc., are great.

I don't care for Hardball, because you never know where Tweety's going to stand on issues until you watch, and I'm not a huge fan of Chris Hayes, I find him too jumpy and annoying. Love the rest of them, of course, but have to say Rachel Maddow is my favorite. Rachel is entertaining and educational. It's nice to watch her show because I think she's smarter than about 99% of the people on all of the networks.
