While I am disappointed in the loss of fire in people like Tamron Hall, I can understand that they need to keep working. If they were openly rebellious the way that Schuster, Bashir and Olbermann were they would be looking for jobs.

Tamron and others like Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell seem to be treading a fine line. I can watch them so long as their coverage does not include a lot of video of Republicans but they couldn't pay me enough to watch Donald Trump or Ted Cruz blather on. Rubio is easier to ignore but his lack of content is boring.
