33. I suspect few will agree with me on this

I loved Joy as a commentator when MSNBC did panel coverage on election nights and other breaking events. She is so bright and insightful, and fearless. But i tended not to watch her regular evening show, and it's hard to put into words why. I agree with her on almost everything. I have no problem with her so called attitude or anything along those lines. It's just that, while she fiercely validates my viewpoints, she didn't often, in my experience, bring new stories, or angles on stories, to my attention during her own show that weren't being covered on all the other MSNBC shows. I find Rachel, Lawrence, Nichole, and Micheal Steele to be the MSNBC hosts who tend to offer me new perspectives on political news.

So I'm sorry that she's probably leaving MSNBC. I liked her show OK, but personally didn't find it compelling viewing. If it were my choice to make, I wouldn't have axed her though.
