10. The MSNBC line-up is much stronger than it was two years ago.

The simple fact that all of these shows aren't afraid to bring on RW spokes clowns every once in a while is an improvement over the KO echo chamber.

I do wish they'd come up with a new show to replace the second airing of Tweety. It seems like a waste to have him on twice within three hours, with Rev Al sitting between the showings. There must be something in Tweety's contract that requires the reshowing in prime time. It would be great if Chris Hayes was moved to that slot. I get that MSNBC is providing on-air try outs for hosts they are grooming for the future.

Ratigen's show is the weak link, simply because he just can't shut up. He's the king of the 60-second question and the 10-second answer. He really needs to learn how to ask a direct question and to let his invited guests talk. I try to watch his show, but he just annoys the hell out of me.
