I can't listen to The Cycle on MSNBC anymore.

In my opinion, Abby Huntsman has ruined the program. I'm sure she is a nice person, but she doesn't belong there. The other hosts are all very intelligent individuals who earned their spot on the program. I know there are going to be people who disagree with me, but I can't take her seriously.

But i don't find her persective appealing in any way. I sonetimes wonder if she is listening to what everyone is saying, she just seems a bit lost in the conversation. I got bored with it a while ago.

She's nice about it but, its like shes saying 'keep up!". Then she does just have to talk around her.
But she is very nice.

Unfortunately, THAT is often the bottom line.

Yeah, I'm sick of it, too.

Huntsman I think is on the program to take the other side. It's no wonder why you don't like her. I think that they do this on purpose to say that they are 'fair and balanced'.

Let the other hosts refute what she says - they usually do - then just sit back and enjoy.

An afterthought - as an update of my post:

Maybe they should team her up with Luke Russert and give them a program that no one would watch.

... I'm distracted by her looks.

Yes, before anyone chastises me on this, I do recognize that I'm being shallow.

Watch the birdie! Maybe you won't notice what the others are saying. Hell, you probably won't even notice the lame things she says, either.

… but she photographs well.

So, maybe not hearing her is a good thing, right?

I'm rationalizing, I know.

the programming people shamelessly appeal to - the ones at the bottom of the lowest-common-denominator ladder.

the same with meghan mccain sometimes. they are both nice people but when there is a serious issue being discussed they just don't really belong there.

i haven't watched her on this show but when she has been on cnn and other things before.
