Jan 2013

his ego got in the way just like Keith's. The host shouldn't be the story and the best journalists in history knew this. Cronkite, Murrow, Bob Schaefer (still plugging away), Russert, etc, etc.

Cenk and Keith's egos are too big when they think they run the show. Sorry guys, don't miss either one of you. Cenk could have stayed at MSNBC but his view of himself was (and is) ridiculous. Cenk isn't "all that" and I was happy when they called his bluff. Chris Hayes benefited from that - Cenk just couldn't seem to work weekends. Now that Current has sold, it will be interesting to see what happens. I would LOVE Jennifer Granholm to move to MSNBC - she kicked ass at the convention.
