MSNBC most mornings for some while. She's lively and energetic, and I hope she keeps her economy orientation at least to some degree in her new time slot.
And regret her loss to the old one. Another hour of Joe and Mika? Fox Lite as the alternative over on CNN? If we didn't know another election was coming up and a lot of Republicans need help getting reelected, this might just be a clue.
I just set the time slot to record again.
scoundrels and fact-free factional nonsense and deceits for what they are as "sneaky." This one from a couple days ago is more...unsneaky than usual, but a lot more illustrative of what people are more likely to criticize in her speaking style.

The point is, though, that truth, about economics or anything else, is neither liberal or conservative. We need competent people to shine a light for us on what they and other experts know to be true so we can make informed choices. All our positions should be supported by reality, or what are we doing?
And yes, we all know that, just as with other public figures, she sometimes doesn't agree with Senator Sanders' economic statements and feels people need to have more light shown on those issues. She's not been sneaky about it.
Asking politicians who want our vote to provide reliable information to support their claims is a good thing, of course. It helps everyone, including honest politicians get their message across correctly. And if they can't, what are we doing?
as the election year heats up for sure.
I suspect, though, that getting Ruhle out is part of that. Her economy/business orientation and refusal to support fact-free (at best) ideological nonsense may lead some to assume she's a lot more conservative than she is economically, and she's definitely liberal socially.
Moving Ruhle to follow liberal Maddow and O'Donnell, serving their more informed, liberal viewers, in the evening frees up the morning slot for some serious election year molding of attitudes in the less liberal morning and daytime viewership.
As MSNBC has done before. The blatant job Joe and Mika and their regulars, and all the other daytime shows, did on Hillary and the rest of the Democratic Party in 2016 should leave no doubt as to what MSNBC is up to now. Viewers have become somewhat more aware and suspicious, and since they've just had to be a bit more subtle with their knifework is all.
I'm guessing we'll see Chuck Todd given more daytime air time again also, even if his ratings are down. In the past few elections he spread his poison all through the day every day, including weekends, so they must think he's good at it.
is like hooking oneself up for infusion. I still like the later evening shows, though nothing should be believed on its own. And there's always far more going on than they have time, or are allowed, to cover.
I'm hoping Todd's low ratings mean a lot more people are on to him. They've been bringing a bunch of his sort along, though. 
We so look forward to the weekends knowing he's there every wkend morning!! HE IS THE BEST!

Like, finding someone for the Rachel slot once she steps away from the nightly show.
Oh. I’m going to enjoy that. Sorry - she’s my news crush. 
I think her show is pretty good in terms of content too.
