10. I watched several episodes and give Greta a qualified thumbs-down.

...Qualified only because with all her problems, she's still an improvement over the previous show in her timeslot -- the one featuring right-wing hack Mark Halperin. Plus, she is marginally less annoying than MSNBC's morning team: the Trump fangirls Joe & Meeka.

At first look, Great struck me mainly as being bland, monotone, and lacking any discernable point a view. But it's soon clear that while she quickly interrupts and cross-examines a Dem/liberal, she gives a free rein to GOP/conservative guests.

Tonight, she let Trump advisor Stephen Miller blather on until he stopped of his own accord, even though he served up numerous lies and exaggerations that most other MSNBC hosts would have called him on.

I would like to see Greta replaced with, perhaps, Ari Melber (I always learn something listening to him), or maybe bring Alex Wagner back, or get John Fugelsang -- he'd be great!
