When you go to the store, do you make a list of the items you are not going to buy?

What's the problem with a few (two?) Repuglicans on MSNBC?

I don't mind Huntsman. She is polite, civil and rather moderate.

I am not available to watch Morning Joe, so I really can't comment.

I can handle different points of view.

the agenda and the conversation. The morning hour is a good time to "capture" that audience to "catapult their propaganda" (to quote someone we all know) so that the liberal audience is always discussing topics with a wingnutty frame around them.

does her homework. She is poised, articulate and polite to guests. She is very moderate and never goes into conservative rants as S.E. Cupp used to do. She holds her own with the other three hosts on the Cycle who are some of the best informed. And if you ever watched The Five on Fox you would be really pleased that MSNBC has a sane and entertaining news show in the afternoon.

I do not agree with you on all of your analysis. She seems to jump on everything anyone has to say bad about the President even the good stuff. It also seems as if she says something good it is with a grain of salt
