I can occasionally tolerate small doses of Tweety, and everything after his show is good, but Greta is unwatchable. How did anyone with a voice like that ever get a job in broadcasting? It could curdle gin. And now they've got Nicole Wallace (OK as a guest, terrible as a host) and Hugh Hewitt, who is absolutely awful.

I wouldn't let Greta represent me in small claims court to collect an overdue damage deposit.

"they just can't listen to her". I'd say- don't you owe it to yourself to get past whatever this odd adversion is to find out how her mind wworks, what her policies are? Are we really sticking with voting with people who'd be fun over a beer?
Greta constantly "plays" devils advocate to propose the GOP is not selfish, vindicitve and obstructionist. SHe always gives them more credit while gving the side eye to Dems. That's plenty enough reason to not watch her.

Some men have terrible voices, too. Most women in broadcasting have voices that are good for the job. You don't get a job singing for the Metropolitan Opera if you have a lousy singing voice, and it amazes me that someone as hard to listen to as Greta got a broadcasting job. I do not feel that way about any other female tv or radio commentator. It has nothing to do with her gender. She desperately needs a voice coach who can teach her how to speak without sounding so strained and nasal. I don't like Wolf Blitzer's voice, either.

they always always hurt women more. The content of her "reporting" is so much more offensive- always dumbing things down for the RW morons.
If she was balanced or incisive, we'd probaly not be picking on her.
