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.

(40,203 posts)the others talk over her head.

(34,648 posts)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.

Yeah, I'm sick of it, too.

(25,241 posts)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.

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

(81,198 posts)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.
Fantastic Anarchist
(7,309 posts)So, maybe not hearing her is a good thing, right?
I'm rationalizing, I know.
calimary
(81,198 posts)the programming people shamelessly appeal to - the ones at the bottom of the lowest-common-denominator ladder.
Fantastic Anarchist
(7,309 posts)But I do make an attempt.
I do thank you for the compliment.

(89,244 posts)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.
