(7,321 posts)Back in the day, when I had cable I enjoyed her appearances on Keith Olbermann, couldn't wait until she had a show.
But she quickly established a format which didn't gel with what I expected, the friday cocktail schtick, she obviously thought was cute and funny was lame to me. Her Republican guests were soft balled I didn't much appreciate.. begging they accept her invitations.
I think she's very intelligent, I did enjoy her participation on MTP a couple of occasions I had seen her on, back during Dubya's term. It's not as if she's lacking in skill set and acumen as political commentator. Unfortunately, she's no journalist, but that's no longer a requirement these days.
Now the few times I watch her are in short clips underscoring the point being made in an op. Our biases are in conflict with the other which makes it quite difficult to listen to her anymore, as she's obviously throwing away a great deal of credibility for her candidate at any cost. That's sad.
