In reply to the discussion: S.E. Cupp one of two to replace Dylan Ratigan? [View all]jp11
(2,104 posts)40. She is noted as 1 of 5 possible 'co-hosts' in the only tiny article theorizing what may happen.

I personally hate when she is on more than Michael Steele as I find she makes more snide comments while grinning like an idiot about how clever she is with whatever RW talking point she is pushing. I also see fewer pundits on with her putting her crap down or correcting her, I feel they are letting her off easier than say Michael Steele would be if he had said the same thing.
I also on a more personal level find her disingenuous based on her claims she is an 'atheist' who 'aspires to be a person of faith'. Basically when I first saw her appear on my TV she claimed to be an atheist and would still take up the republican religion side on issues then toss in 'But I'm an atheist' as if to make her point MORE valid.
I truly hope MSNBC doesn't go further down the road with more shows that try to sustain the 'both sides do it' or some semblance of 'fair and balanced' by bringing in more republican/conservatives to give their spin on things. If people wanted that crap they'd be watching CNN.
MSNBC has one show where the republican viewpoint gets to be droned on to us and it happens in the morning with Joe it REALLY REALLY doesn't need another one. Ratigan wasn't perfect and often failed to correct many 'both sides do it' BS or even propagated it but I felt he was more neutral MOST of the time. When he was spouting that crap there was USUALLY some call for it to be true like money in politics although the truth would be to point out how more pervasive it is on the republican side yet he didn't say so.

While Fox News is slimy, I do not think the 'legs-on-desk' schtick is anything other than Ms. Cupp's

The issue is she's a right-wing liar and a fraud who has no business on MSNBC

I would appreciate if MSNBC would take this opportunity to make a "Crossfire" program
