I dunno... Chris Hayes in a little man-on-man might not be bad.

I watch Rachel Maddow for a good laugh not for any kind of new substance

I only watch the first 15 minutes of Rachel and have only started watching cable news again recently. I stopped watching all cable news after Orange Tuesday. So except for 15 mins of Maddow a few times a week, all my info comes from the internet tubes.

I hear he's much taller than he looks on TV. Yeah, he is cute.

That could be fun - an intelligent, articulate conservative who freely admits that Trump is a complete disaster! George would be a far better option than that idiot Hugh Hewitt.

Chris still hosts a great show.

I don't think MSNBC necessarily got big because they went liberal - they have three excellent liberal hosts (plus Joy-Ann Reid at weekends). CNN lost viewers by playing the "both sides do it" game and creating a completely false equivalence by giving equal time to intelligent articulate individuals and bigots, conspiracy theorists and other complete nutters.

Despite his other dumb ideas, I don't think he's going to mess with the #1show of its kind on cable.

Props for the Animal House reference!

As I have a great deal of respect for Rachel Maddow, I decided to take her advice and watch a couple of episodes of Greta - two was more than enough!

CNN's not that different - maybe not as bad, but they still try far too hard with their "both sides do it" crap.

When they were selling off the props from Battlestar Gallactica, I asked them how much they wanted for a fully- functional Number Six. They said they wouldn't sell me one - bastards!

Ed started off as a conservative Rush Limbaugh wannabe on talk radio in 1992 and didn't switch his political views until the late 90s. Although his show on MSNBC was definitely left-leaning, I watched an ad on RT featuring several of their hosts stating what they felt a vote for a previous US president signified. It contained this comment from Ed "a vote for Ronald Reagan led to the fall of the Berlin Wall" which led me to think he was returning to his right-wing roots.Like the rest of the political commentators on RT, he's refused to consider the possibility that Russia attempted to interfere with the US election.BTW, RT does have some very good programs which DON'T have a Russian bias, including Redacted Tonight, Watching the Hawks, Larry King and Thom Hartmann.

You must be the brother she didn't try to stab in his sleep.
