Got fed up. Wrote to NBC's Phil Griffin and Andy Lack about MSNBC grotesqueries

[calimary]

36. Not a fan of Stephanie Ruhle.

And I certainly don't think she should have more than one show per day. EITHER her own, OR co-hosting with Ali Velshi. Not both.

I was neutral on her until Tillerson came between us. When his name was first put in nomination for Secretary of State, she went on about "Rex! Grrrr! Sounds so tough! RRRRRRrex!" like some gushing lovesick teenager. I thought - "Oh for Pete's Sake!?!?!?" and that just turned me off. That was I haven't been able to get beyond that ever since.

Perhaps they want to turn the midday block into business-driven coverage. Otherwise, I can't explain how Ruhle has a show, Ali Velshi has a show, and they they pile on together for a THIRD show. In the same overall day-part. Doesn't make sense. Certainly they have more talent in their stable and could slice off one of those shows to give to a different anchor. (Like maybe Joy Reid? But I'm playing favorites here, obviously.)
