Reply #8: If he's still there and Larson free in a week, I'll check again

I feel for Ed a bit. His show is not his really, as he has no TV background to base choices on, so he's listening to people who say things like 'no, you should stand up for energy' and the like. Generalized production notes that have little to do with Ed as an individual.
I saw two episodes, far too right wing oriented, Ed unaware of his face as a communications tool made those segments painful, and confusing. Note to Ed: the camera takes your picture, and broadcasts it along with your voice...
Frankly, I found it disrespectful to a man of Sharpton's position and age to be wedged between two right wing radio talkers that are not even well known. That Vegas woman, I mean, she's a nobody, with no presonality, no fresh take, no following, and a market smaller than many cities. How did they even find her? Why would they use her? And why especially would they use her to pile on against an actual political figure, Al is not a pundit, he's an activist. The whole thing was awful, and embarssing, and tawdry and worst of all, amaturish.
I'm not the sports oriented argument fan that is Ed's target audience, so my thoughts are meaningless but still, I expected to watch each day, but I can not bear it. Vegas woman and Lars interrupting Rev Sharpton over and over again while Ed acted the weak hostess was a line I could not cross.
Again, note to Ed: the audience can see your face. Learn that.
