I tried to like his show aint_no_life_nowhere Jun 2012 #5
Exactly. I couldn't take that false equivalence crap. nt SunSeeker Jun 2012 #19
I won't miss him. His ego is larger than asjr Jun 2012 #6
In the dictionary, next to "pompous ass" they have his picture tularetom Jun 2012 #7
I'm one of the few here who kind of liked him OKNancy Jun 2012 #8
You're not alone! I did, too! citysyde Jun 2012 #12
I thought his Wall Street experience and prouducer for top MSNBC Show gave him special Outlook KoKo Jun 2012 #30
I agree, he had great commentary on the corporate power structure wordpix Jun 2012 #120
Dylan wasn't a cheerleader ... earthside Jun 2012 #48
Same here. I liked the lessons, too. nt valerief Jun 2012 #60
Me too, some people though don't like it when another tells it like it is. nt Raine Jun 2012 #73
I think you're not as isolated as you may think demwing Jun 2012 #79
I liked him onpatrol98 Jun 2012 #84
If ONLY they'd drop Joe Scarborough. He's been kept artificially alive by MSNBC. Judi Lynn Jun 2012 #101
Why do we even allow fox to continue? Mosaic Jun 2012 #109
Seriously? MB149 Jun 2012 #117
I think he's the only one on MSNBC who has.. girl gone mad Jun 2012 #97

I generally liked him Cosmocat Jun 2012 #116
I'm with you pmorlan1 Jun 2012 #118
Good for Martin. Much more exposure...Yay!..n/t monmouth Jun 2012 #9
Agreed! Martin Bashir is a favorite of mine! n/t marew Jun 2012 #11
I've not watched "Martin"...who is he and what does he do that you like? KoKo Jun 2012 #33
Martin Bashir. His show has been coming on at noon pacific, 3 PM Eastern on MSNBC. Jamaal510 Jun 2012 #47
Besides being progressive, The Man ... bayareaboy Jun 2012 #57
So...I should watch him because he speaks the "best English you have heard." ????? KoKo Jun 2012 #67
Martin asks very good questions PatSeg Jun 2012 #72
Thanks all for the replies as to who Martin is--Sounds interesting. n/t KoKo Jun 2012 #103
Martin asks the tough questions - he is not afraid to say that republicans are screwing the economy jillan Jun 2012 #88
My only complaint about Martin Bashir's show PatSeg Jun 2012 #105
Then don't watch Martin ... bayareaboy Jun 2012 #121
He's extremely well informed and articulate, elleng Jun 2012 #91
I will miss Martin Bashir's handoff to Dylan - it always cracks me up... jillan Jun 2012 #10
The handoff is hilarious PatSeg Jun 2012 #104
YAY! Drunken Irishman Jun 2012 #13
He worked for the wall street banksters for years magic59 Jun 2012 #14
Yes...I have to agree with you there...because I knew his background and KoKo Jun 2012 #37
Out in the real world. sendero Jun 2012 #83
Yes, indeed. CanSocDem Jun 2012 #108
Another good journalist forced out by the mainstream media brentspeak Jun 2012 #15
yup--I'll never forget how he took apart people like Hensarling librechik Jun 2012 #113
Dylan, leaving gael Jun 2012 #16
I'm saddened to hear this. I liked Ilsa Jun 2012 #17
Go Martin!! flamingdem Jun 2012 #18
I remember him ... bayareaboy Jun 2012 #53
I won't miss him flamingdem Jun 2012 #68
Should Martin get 2 hours? Dawson Leery Jun 2012 #86
Or maybe Chris Hayes flamingdem Jun 2012 #94
Praise Jesus. nt limpyhobbler Jun 2012 #20
C Ya Dylan! irisblue Jun 2012 #21
Good. I couldn't stand him. I thought he was a complete ass. demgrrrll Jun 2012 #22
I liked him sometimes but felt I could never really trust him. calimary Jun 2012 #23
I did not have all that information my response was purely visceral. demgrrrll Jun 2012 #122
I for one Jake2413 Jun 2012 #24
Who will get Martin's slot? nt onehandle Jun 2012 #25
I was wondering the same thing. I'm not too sorry to hear Ratigan is leaving Auntie Bush Jun 2012 #27
I hope either Krystal Ball, Angry Black Lady, or Goldie taylor takes his place. FarLeftFist Jun 2012 #26
I'm sure you do! n/t KoKo Jun 2012 #39
Yep, maybe Krystal Ball can take Ratigan's place, and Imani ABL & Goldie can take Tweety's 2nd spot. FarLeftFist Jun 2012 #46
How long do you think it would take for "ABL" to be asked by MSNBC to Apologize KoKo Jun 2012 #58
I think she can handle herself. Twitter & television are 2 different things. FarLeftFist Jun 2012 #65
ABL would be the most contentuous Media Host...ever to appear....unless "Black Agenda" was KoKo Jun 2012 #66
I'm pretty sure she would do just fine. FarLeftFist Jun 2012 #71
Sheesh...why doesn't MSNBC hire back Geraldo Rivera...he did well for Clinton during MonicaGate? KoKo Jun 2012 #28
Now he's going to run for some elected office. kestrel91316 Jun 2012 #29
I think he would do well in House or Senate. He has lot's of Wall St. Exprience and could Beat Them KoKo Jun 2012 #32
Not a fan... Amerigo Vespucci Jun 2012 #31
not the best player on our team... but TahoeGrandpa Jun 2012 #34

Ohhhhhhhhh... love me some Karen Finney. Gidney N Cloyd Jun 2012 #35
She's ready, and she'd be a great lead-in to Bashir. Amerigo Vespucci Jun 2012 #44
Please, no! earthside Jun 2012 #45
Hack? She has hacked into my heart, my friend! Gidney N Cloyd Jun 2012 #55
Correction: The "hack" is leaving. Karen, OTOH, would be a welcome addition by Democrats.... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2012 #124
Be still my heart!!!!!!! ... bayareaboy Jun 2012 #50
She plays both sides of the fence a bit too often flamingdem Jun 2012 #114
No doubt Ed Schultz is doing a happy dance. JaneQPublic Jun 2012 #36
I'm very HAPPY to hear this. His show is my least favorite of the afternoon ones n/t Tx4obama Jun 2012 #40
Now maybe they will Spacer125 Jun 2012 #41
I hope not. AJTheMan Jun 2012 #59
Ahh...You were a Keith Olbermann Fan...were you? What do you think Keith did better KoKo Jun 2012 #69
Ain't ever gonna happen. Trust! Tarheel_Dem Jun 2012 #125
I know that he might go to FAUX NEWS....since it's losing viewers and if he does KoKo Jun 2012 #42
Who leaving what? sofa king Jun 2012 #43
Well...if you are a "Sofa King" ....and asking "Which of course, is the why" KoKo Jun 2012 #70
Anyone here think that they would put S.E. Cupp in that time slot? Jamaal510 Jun 2012 #49
I don't think so ... bayareaboy Jun 2012 #52
But it's not a "news analysis show". mwb970 Jun 2012 #51
I've never liked Dylan Ratigan's show AJTheMan Jun 2012 #54
Let me ask you: How did you find "DU" and why did you sign up here and KoKo Jun 2012 #62
I found DU whenever I typed "Democrats" into google. AJTheMan Jun 2012 #64
And welcome to DU! PatSeg Jun 2012 #77
Thank you! It's so nice to be welcomed by friendly people! AJTheMan Jun 2012 #85
You're welcome PatSeg Jun 2012 #87
Yes, Ratigan has said he's a conservative. I change the channel too. FarLeftFist Jun 2012 #89
Nail on the head there AJ. Don't mind the Ratigan fan club. They don't like Democrats much. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2012 #126
Welcome to DU, AJTheMan! gateley Jun 2012 #92
He will not be missed. Dylan is obsessed with complaining how bad things are. Dawson Leery Jun 2012 #56
Dawson...please tell us more about why you so disliked Dylan Ratigan.. KoKo Jun 2012 #63
I myself would rather hear the truth even when it's Raine Jun 2012 #76
He offers solutions............ PatSeg Jun 2012 #78
The first time I was turned off by Ratigan PatSeg Jun 2012 #74
His questions sounded more like monologues PADemD Jun 2012 #102
So true progdog Jun 2012 #112
Hope he stays visible, and stays loud demwing Jun 2012 #75
He wants to pump up the "third way" and that means Libertarians and Repuke Lights flamingdem Jun 2012 #133
Dylan 90-percent Jun 2012 #80
Good! southern_belle Jun 2012 #81
I'll be one of the few who likes him. Agree with a lot of the negative points made, gateley Jun 2012 #90
I appreciated his financial knowledge flamingdem Jun 2012 #96
Hmmm. Interesting. I hadn't thought of that but I could see him doing it. nt gateley Jun 2012 #129
Now I can keep MSNBC on all of the time. grantcart Jun 2012 #93
Here's a good sample of Bashir's style Iwillnevergiveup Jun 2012 #95
I never watched him. Paka Jun 2012 #98
