I'm so happy that MSNBC features our political teams on Friday instead of depressing prison stories.

I hate those stories and am forced to watch CNN. I hope they make this a permanent change.

Why broadcast to the world how awful our prisons are what awful prisoners they contain? Makes me sick to watch...in fact I can't!

Tweety gets the most. Ezra Klein should have his own show, and they should have live coverage till at least 11:00 pm Pacific time. Then do the re-runs.

I'm surprised they don't listen. Particularly on Friday nights I'm usually out for my one night a week and have dinner out - so I miss all the regular shows. I come home and pop on MSNBC to watch the reruns - and what do I find - these stupid, inane prison shows. This is the night that they should run the re-runs of the regular line-up - but they don't.

Who is running that network? Don't they listen to their followers like us?

Does anyone ever watch them? Maybe the Fox News junkies come over for Friday nites. Does anyone have an idea of what the ratings are for these shows?
