(31,464 posts)When she had her tv show while Bush was King, she tended to toe the line. She had to...if you didn't support the war, you got shitcanned, or moved to the 5:00 am Sunday morning slot. She started speaking up, and eventually did get shitcanned. But she's back. And now she has her own show, and I think CNN, in their desperation to staunch their failing ratings, have given her more leeway to speak her mind. I love it. I wish her whole morning show was more about stuff that matters -- they still get into a bit too much pop culture and fluff, but then, so does Joe when he and all the old white men think everyone is interested in the sports they watched last night.
I don't take back what I once posted about Soledad, because it was true at the time. But she seems to be genuine, seems to have found her voice. It's a good break from the usual morning crap.
