Am I the only DUer who just can't warm up to Dylan Ratigan?

[11 Bravo]

Sandwiched between the passionate and erudite Martin Bashir, and the hit-or-miss Tweety (you HAVE to admit, sometimes Matthews kicks ass); we get the bland, centrist, meanderings of a man with a demeanor which makes Joe Lieberman seem downright electric.

That's when I switch to ESPN. You?

1. Every now and then, he makes sense. Most of the time it seems to me,

he gets lost, listening to his own voice.
A question from him can take 6 times longer than the answer.
Hard to watch.

[Auntie Bush]

8. My feelings exactly!

Most the time his questions are so long and rambling I'm surprised the guests know how to answer. If I had to miss anyone on MSNBC it's Dylan. Sometimes when he finishes...I have no idea what to make of the whole discussion.

I use to get mad at Tweety...but now days I like him...except when he's in one of his interrupting moods.

2. His schtick is always saying both sides suck

even when it's on a matter where only Republicans are engaged in nefarious activities.

[Zalatix]

18. I got from him that he thinks Democrats suck because they won't fight back viciously

and Republicans are just downright evil.

The proverbial incompetent shepherd vs the wolf.

But then I haven't watched ALL of his shows.

3. I like to take a break at 4PM,

so I never tune in!

[dionysus]

4. i think he's a libertarian douche, personally.

[Enrique]

5. try turning the volume down

this also helps with Ed Schultz and Tweety.

6. Cable so called news is all just opinion.

I stopped watching all of it years ago. Now I get my news from PBS, here, and sometimes network news. I feel much better with my own opinions.
When a question is a paragraph it is not a question, Ratigan Paragraphs his questions. A question should be short in my opinion, but my opinion means about as much as the talkers on cable. Try turning it all off, see if you feel better. 11b40.

[Wait Wut]

7. Not at all.

I usually start making dinner right about the time he comes on. If I leave the husband unattended with Ratigan on, I'll return to find him with a frown of concentration on his face until he mumbles something to himself and switches to Family Guy or HGTV.

9. That's when I change the channel to Judge Judy.

[provis99]

10. my impression is that most DUers hate him.

I've never read a DUer write anything good about him.

[postulater]

11. No. I don't even know who she is.

[Jamaal510]

22. Dylan Ratigan is a dude.

[tularetom]

12. Can't warm up doesn't begin to describe how I feel about him

Not sure what he stands for if anything, but he is virtually unwatchable.

A first rate douche.

[one_voice]

13. I can't stand him...

I tried to watch his show..but he annoys the shit outta me.

[cynatnite]

14. Once in a while he's okay, but I think he spends too much time on economic issues...

It gets rather dry after a while.

[Canuckistanian]

15. But then again....

He does stuff like this:

[malaise]

16. No

I avoid his program most of the time

[JI7]

17. never liked him and don't consider him to be a liberal or even an ok reporter

[tallahasseedem]

19. No, I can't stand him!

I have tried to watch a few times, but just can't warm up to him either.

[obxhead]

20. Ratigan is a tool.

He should just move to Faux snooze where he will fit in far better.

[roody]

21. Who is Dylan Ratigan?

[cherokeeprogressive]

23. Couldn't pick him out of a line-up.

I guess that's because I've never laid eyes on him.

I don't watch political pundits on tv except for Sundays, and then I channel surf and doze at the same time.

[Rowdyboy]

24. He's rude to Martin Basir and that would be enough for me, if it weren't for everthing else that

comes out of his mouth. He's "Afternoon Joe" on MSNBC-a tragic waste of airspace.
