8. She's WUNNNNNderful!

And I notice a small number of other MSNBC hosts taking a page from her - and NOT letting the assholes come on and filibuster and talk over and avoid the question and start changing the subject and dodging and diverting and distracting and just generally being rude. She steps all over them and makes them stop in one way or other. INSTANT behavior modification. INSTANT correction of bad behavior. INSTANT. Which is how it should be.

Btw - as to your question about whether there's a school for this shit (the CON misbehavior, that is), yeah, there is.

Most of the knuckle-dragger "think tanks" and foundations and institutes out there on the far wrong do indeed try to find young, up 'n' coming and of course, ambitious prospects to grow, nurture, and groom to go on the air or build big-time bylines or other positions of media prominence.

But more specifically, there IS one in particular, that's an entity all in and of itself, not just as a department of the American Enterprise Institute or Americans for Tax Fairness or the Heritage Foundation or whatever highfalutin crap name they come up with to disguise their evil intent. It's called the Collegiate Network:

"Graduates of Collegiate Network newspapers have become professional journalists, including the editor of National Review Rich Lowry, CNN and ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, and author Dinesh D'Souza." !!!!!!!!!!!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collegiate_Network

I read about it long ago. It shits out all kinds of new spawn that attempt and sometimes succeed in getting hired at big time media outlets AND BRINGING THEIR CON AGENDA INTO THEIR JOBS WITH THEM.

I read somewhere that this little blonde cutesy-poo on the Food Network, Melissa D'Arabian, is also a graduate of the Collegiate Network.

BEWARE. BE FOREWARNED. And DON'T BE FOOLED!
