What's happened to Soledad O'Brien?

She appears to be the only "journalist" on morning news. I switched channels when Morning Joe started talking sports, and damn, there was Soledad grilling some GOP Rep about the DISCLOSE act, actually pushing back and asking questions. Now she's got a panel on discussing the proposed territorial tax, with real opposing viewpoints and serious discussion, and Soledad asking serious questions.

On top of that, they do hard news segments. It's kind of refreshing, like CNN is trying to become a real news channel again. It's not the same five white Republicans guys stroking each other every day.
