13. She is an opinion personality not a news host personality

Besides the willingness to completely dismiss Florida she also gave the opinion that there is no way to separate the Republican Party from Right Wing Extremism. That is an opinion but it isn't the kind of in depth nuanced analysis that you expect from a cable news host. She was miscast from the start. She never should have appeared on the other shows at all at least in giving personal opinions.

Her overall viewership was basically flat. It increased before the election but after it went back to the 500
k level that she had started on.

The big increase in 19-49 viewership is true in a percentage increase but only because it started at a very low level.

An increase from 26K viewers to 52K is a big percentage but an incredibly low number for a national broadcast. She woud have been the 17th ranked show out of MSNBC 20 shows.
