I think Richard Engel needs his own show

Last edited Sat Jul 29, 2017, 08:21 AM - Edit history (1)

I imagine that's why Rachel is giving him her Friday slot so they can see if there's interest. He wants feedback so if you have the time leave a comment on Twitter (@RichardEngel) or go to MSNBC.com. He really did an amazing show last night.

Made me uninstall my Kaspersky, which was a pain, but it's great.

Knew a lot of it from Rachel and Malcolm Nance, but learned stuff, too. I like that he is there, getting interviews.

His show would be attractive from the standpoint that he is on assignment, on location, whereas as TRMS is normally planned in blocks that you can usually rank in decreasing importance as the show proceeds.His entire show is engaging, from segment to segment.

His coverage of foreign affairs is incredible and I find him to be a truly authentic, down-to-earth person. He is probably the best journalist that MSNBC has, as well as the most underrated. I am amazed at how he maintains that upbeat disposition after all he has seen.

Really incredible pulling threads together. Surprised Kaspersky gave him so much time for interview.

the Kaspersky Lab coverage. I have never installed any of their products on my computers, and I hope businesses who use them will take a second look.

A very personable and serious professional journalist. Here he is at ICFJ's award for Excellence in International Reporting ceremony in 2013.
