Kasie Hunt on CNN.

She has been making appearance on CNN New Day with John Berman and Brianna Keilor.

I never got her or what her appeal is. She never seems to have any real thoughtful analysis to offer, it always seems pedestrian.
CNN should have hired me, I could give better commentary. Even at 6:00 in the morning.

But as a TV show host... not so much, and I agree that her commentaries leave much to be desired.

it's not quite clear where she stands or what she believes in. I've heard her do the "both sides" thing a couple of times in the past. When she had her show that preceded Morning Joe I would catch the final minute or so and it seemed like she leaned a little to the left but her delivery needs a lot of work.

that i find unpleasant. (And lest anyone misunderstand, my own voice shares some of those qualities making it unpleasant to hear recordings of my own as well)

If you don’t like someone, change the channel or turn off the TV.

All she has to do now is show off her legs and bleach her hair....she'll have all the fine qualifications necessary to be a FAUX News personality.
