He's not interviewing them, he's trying to interrogate them with GOP talking points

He's not having a good time at all

I can't watch a minute of Today or GMA or CBS. Fashion shows, cooking segments and the latest on Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga. No thanks.

At least CNN saw its life flash before its eyes when it tried to be just like Fox News...now Soledad has taken their morning show in a new direction, and she's tough, but pleasant. She's well-informed, and she'll grill anybody, Dem or GOP. A year ago, you couldn't have paid me to watch CNN, but their new format is a refreshing mix of hard news and panel discussion.

The Convention coverage is on this week....that is good but next week will give me an idea if there is anything to look forward to in the morning chatter.

I multi-task in the morning as it is basic background noise. The CBS show has local news breaks which I like for traffic reports and such.

I get the pulse of information on MSNBC after 6pm. While working, I have my Sirius radio application on my phone...."Ed Schultz".

but so foar, the Dems they have had on have pretty much kept with their talking points and it's a pleasure not to be assaulted by dozens of RW lunatic guests spewing fiction at that empty suit in an empty chair that is Joe.

than he did during the republican interviews...our Dems are
staying on message in spite of his interruptions (which
have been constant)....
