Gayle King is so uninformed that I have to turn her off many times.
I like her but I wish she would get better educated on the politics she talks about so often. The other day she was hailing the No Labels charade and gave John Avlon a platform on her radio show/tv show on Oprah's network, to propagandize her audience.

I was so disappointed. She bought everything he was selling without question.

1. I don't care to much for her
She replaced Rachel so now my drive home is not nearly as pleasant

2. She's not that bright
and I've often wondered why Oprah has so much respect for her.

4. Why do you think she would be informed? She's a tv personality.
The reason she's on tv is not because shes educated, it's because she speaks well and is friends with Oprah.

Same thing with Oprah, though she happens to be a good businesswoman as well.

Do you listen to Chris Rock and expect him to be educated too?

6. She's friends with Cory Booker, who belongs to no Labels
I think Booker is a good progressive, though, despite his involvement in that movement.

7. Uh....isn't her entire claim to fame...
being a famous person's best friend? Why would anyone expect her to be smart? I mean she's seriously about the same rung on the celebrity ladder as the Kardashians in terms of justification for anyone knowing who she even is.

8. What on Earth made you think she would be informed?
She's the protege of one of the most uninformed and credulous women in media.

9. Because she has the ear of a national audience and now the eyes
of the Oprah network watchers and she delves into politics everyday. She loves to pride herself on being righteous so she should live that mantra and get better educated before thrusting nonsense onto her unsuspecting listeners.
