Just now on MSNBC, talking about how Trump wants a big send off that might even include a 21 gun salute, as if he were a "real leader instead of the racist twice impeached failure that he is.."

(1,730 posts)His interview with impeachment manager Dean-PA was heartening. She sounded resolved and confident that there will be no quarter given to tRump for the sake of fake "unity." Ali asks good questions and elicits great responses.

(1,730 posts)I fall asleep early too, so I'm subscribed to Rachel's and Lawrence's podcasts. They cut out the commercials, and I catch up during wakeful periods during the night, or the next day. I don't have to get up for work though.

(2,611 posts)Dad was a journalist. He admired Cronkite, deeply. I learned my politics from my dad, he opposed US involvement in SE Asia far before it became a political issue here. When Cronkite stated his opposition. Dad wept, grieving and laughing. I miss both of them.

(58,666 posts)he's been a go-to fill in host for people taking breaks the past year or so. Getting a lot of well deserved exposure.
He's an import, so thanks to Canada for letting him go.

(47,501 posts)He is such an underappreciated talent at MSNBC, but he is one of the best journalists they have. He would be perfect for Meet the Press.

(14,732 posts)Aside from that he's pleasant, articulate, energetic and thorough. I know they'll never let him go from being the "clean up hitter" but can you imagine how
Press the Meat would become a program we would actually like to watch again if he had it?

(4,044 posts)Yes, Cohen interviews Velshi, not vice versa!

I personally think that Cohen's Mea Culpa podcast is excellent. I've enjoyed every instance (except for the one with Omerosa, who is as loathsome as Trump).
Cohen is oddly talented in this medium, in which he offers unique social commentary.

(842 posts)Among other things, when any topic seems on the brink of becoming too difficult to understand, he has this innate ability to reach back and swoop us all forward to that place of knowing. It is truly a gift .....and Ali has it.
