From politico playbook pm

BIG MEDIA MOVE —NYT’s Benjamin Mullin scoops: “MSNBC has named ALEX WAGNER to succeed RACHEL MADDOW as the weekday host of its 9 p.m. hour four days a week, turning to a political news veteran to fill one of the network’s most important time slots. Ms. Wagner, 44, is a fixture of Washington journalism with roots in progressive news and opinion outlets. She worked for MSNBC as a host of a daytime show for several years, and rejoined the channel in February as a senior political analyst and guest-anchor during prime time, filling in for Ms. Maddow and CHRIS HAYES.”


Actually, I don't know who this is.

1. She is very good. I have missed her since she left MSNBC.

I see this as a good choice.

4. As good as Rachel?

I'm disappointed they didn' selecf Olberman, but I knew they wouldn't. 😏

7. Heh! Keef is a loose cannon that is loaded and with the fuse lit

[SheltieLover]

10. Yup

That's a large part of what makes him so good.

11. +1

12. ...

13. When he was at Cornell,

Keith did work with a Binghamton news station, covering sports. I used to see him at boxing events. He's a good man.

14. He is one of the best I've ever seen

Thx for sharing. I appreciate his blunt style.

15. From the beginning,

I liked that one didn't need to try to read between the lines to know what he was saying. Plus his sense of humor is outstanding.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. I actually agree with you. Keef is great with politics and wears his opinions on his sleeve.

Unambiguous!

i will bet the Peacock suits see him differently. Hence no Keef.

2. I've seen her a few times. Liked her interview skills.

3. I like her, she's good. Nt

5. I love Alex

6. I don't know why they always pass over Ali Velshi.

He is excellent and a very hard worker subbing for everybody, parachuting into hurricane zones or conflict zones anywhere in the world to report on it.

9. You just made the case for him to keep doing what he does.

He is VERY good as the breaking news guy.

8. Lacks intensity

Slightly dull compared with Joy Ann, Hayes and Lawrence. Hope she finds another gear before they find a replacement.
