16. My 2-cents worth

I heard they were giving Ari Greta's old slot. I like Ari. I also like the nerdy Steve Kornacki.

Agree that Joy should have a close-to-prime-time, M-F show. She is awesome and man is she sharp! Plus she is a straight up progressive. We do not have guess where she stands on important issues. She stands with us, just like Lawrence.

Ari has a 2-hour Sunday show (total waste of talent in this time slot).

I wish they'd give their real talent time slots they deserve and move the lesser talent to the weekend.

Chuck Todd, whom I lost all respect for when he said it wasn't his job to call out politicians on their lies, has a Sunday show AND a M-F week day show! What's up with that?!

What happened to the commentator Eric Michael Dyson. He was sharp (though he talked a little too fast), plus he is a gentleman of color. Something MSNBC needs. They could have given him Sharpton's slot (I don't know what Sharpton has on MSNBC, but it must be big). I don't know of anyone who watches Rev. Al - not even the black fans of the MSNBC and of which I am one. They had another black commentator who I thought was good. I can't remember his name and I believe he might have been a Georgetown professor. He was sharp too.

Chris Hayes is okay, but I'd rather see him on earlier and Joy Reid or Ari Melber be Rachel's lead-in. And every since Brian Williams had an on-air orgasm talking about Trump's so-called bombing of Assad, I can't even bear to look at him.
