So who is taking Steve's place on the Cycle?

[EC]

I wasn't listening to the show today at work and didn't hear if they made any announcement or not. So did anyone say?

[Laurian]

1. They should just can that one.

Crystal Ball is pregnant, Toure is out of his element, and SE Cupp is unbearable.

Back to the drawing board.....

[madinmaryland]

10. Crystal Ball is pregnant??

[Laurian]

15. She (Krystal, sorry I misspelled her name) announced it

on the show at the end of October.

[madinmaryland]

16. Wow. She must be due real soon. Congratulation to her and her family!

I guess that why she has not been on "The Last Word" recently.

[Jamaal510]

19. She was just on there last night.

[elleng]

28. Not 'real soon,' mad;

she announced it around election-time, I think, so there's prolly a few months left.

[AlinPA]

11. I tried to watch that crap program twice. It's really bad.

[BainsBane]

13. agree

can't stand that show. Give Joy Reid a time spot!

[Tx4obama]

2. Where is Steve going? What's up? n/t

[hlthe2b]

5. He's replacing Chris Hayes on the weekend show as Chris replaces Big Ed on week nights...

[TheDebbieDee]

3. Ezra Klein, perhaps?

[Whisp]

4. I think Ezra has something going on the weekends now.

not sure, don't really listen to them any more.

[bluestate10]

9. I can see Klein doing a lead-in show for Ed.

Some here criticized Com cast when it took over MSNBC. But is less than two years Comcast has taken major steps toward building a 7 day a week news based channel, one that reports news honestly and is often at the fore-front of key stories like voter suppression attempts and attacks on women's reproductive rights.

[DanTex]

23. He's too smart for the Cycle. They should just cancel the Cycle and give Ezra Klein his own show.

[grasswire]

6. Ari Melber should have gotten Chris's time slot.

He's smart and personable; seems more like a leader than Steve.

[EC]

7. But he's not a wonk

and doesn't speak at the speed of light. I was hoping he'd be picked for the cycle.

[grasswire]

8. He's a lawyer who writes for The Nation and previously worked ...

...for John Kerry. Lots of depth there. Lots of anchor potential. Doesn't hurt ratings that he is movie star good-looking, either.

[politicasista]

29. +1 n/t

[bluestate10]

12. Melber isn't a host. He is a knowledgeable guest and is powerful in that role.

Chris Hayes is an effective host. I would have preferred seeing Ezra Klein take over Ed's old slot. But MSNBC has made some solid moves over the last year and a half, so the Execs deserve some slack on this one.

[grasswire]

17. Melber has guest hosted occasionally, and was excellent.

I'll give the suits at MSNBC some slack when they apologize for firing Phil, and for pushing David Shuster out, and when they dump Russert the younger.

[clo]

21. Cenk Uygur, another goodie MSNBC lost.....

Cenk is the real deal, he speaks the truth as he sees it.
MSNBC wanted him to tone down his bashing of Obama, he refused to compromise himself. Bravo!

Don't get me wrong, I voted for Obama twice. That said, I don't agree with every thing he does.

[JI7]

26. Melber is a lot better than Ezra Klein

[clo]

20. I agree, Ari would be a much better replacement for Chris than Steve.

I'll miss Chris in that slot, two hours gave him time to really chew on an issue.

24. Thank you~

Thanks In The Wind.
I'm brand new here, still bumping into walls )

25. If you have any questions now you know how to find me.

This link will be helpful also.

I'm in The Lounge more than any other part of DU.
Stop over for a coffee and chuckle break when you find the time.

[clo]

31. A few questions

Thanks In The Wind for your invite.
Is there a way I can mark a member so I can locate, and a forum?

Enjoy the day~

[In_The_Wind]

32. The best thing I can suggest is a small donation to DU.

When you go to your 'My Account' feature you will an option to have a 'Star Membership'.
Any amount will help DU and you.
After you become a star member you will:
no longer see ads.
be able to do an advanced search to find so much more.
Or you may use the Google search at the top of this page.
Another advantage of having a star is being able to start polls when you are ready to do that.

Have fun. It's Friday. Party time in the lounge.

33. I'm a 'star' ;))

Hi In The Wind, just donated, who knew it was that easy to become a 'star' )

Its Wednesday.

Wondering how the Supreme's will determine the outcome on DOMA & marriage equality?
Seems they want to avoid being bold, unlike their stance in 2000, Bush Vs Gore & Citizens United...
Justice Kennedy offered some hopeful signs, considering the children living with same sex parents.

Any thoughts?

[In_The_Wind]

34. I'm glad you have your star. DOMA will be a battle. I hope things improve.

14. The other day when I was reading that

Chris was taking over Ed's spot, I thought that Steve would be good for his spot.
I haven't watched the Cycle in weeks, but today had it on and went, HA! when I heard the news.

I can't abide Sippycup and Toure' I can almost tolerate. I think that they should replace Sippy with Susan Del Percio, a republican strategist and MSNBC guest pundit. Every time I've seen her, she was smart, respectful and willing to say it like it is, even if it's a neg for the right. I have to respect her for that.

Sippy, I have zero respect for. She's the perfect example of rethugery.
I think she got a boob job, watching the way she positioned herself throughout the show, her arm unnaturally back to jut out better. I need a "meow" smiley here........

[EC]

18. I agree about Susan.

And she doesn't use WND or the Blaze etc as references.

[JI7]

27. i think they should just cancel that show

i don't watch it and usually don't watch tv during that time but i saw it once and didn't care for it.

[northoftheborder]

30. I watched it yesterday and today...and...

They gave Steve a big send-off yesterday, but today it was just the three of them, no replacement announcement for Steve that I heard....

I don't hate The Cycle, it's just not very high quality. I think it's the producer's fault, it just never seems to be put together very well. Sippy Cup is annoying, but the other two I really like as personalities.
