Dear Ed: I will not watch you anymore if you continue to have SC Cupp on your show.

[Evergreen Emerald]

She is rude and wrong. If I wanted to listen to her lies, I would watch Fox News.

[MrSlayer]

1. She is terrible.

Ignorant, vapid and obnoxious. She is cute though, which is probably why she's there.

[trueblue2007]

43. I HATE HER GUTS. guess that statement is pretty strong

she thinks she is sooooooooooo cute.
moron

[MrSlayer]

45. It's bad to hold things in like that.

Much more healthy to just express yourself.

Haha.

[Lifelong Protester]

2. I can't stand her

And ignorance and ranting negate cute.

I will mute her or turn the channel if she continues on MSNBC.

[TexasTowelie]

3. Get used to seeing her on almost every MSNBC show.

The entire gang of The Cycle will be making promotional appearances throughout the network.

That could even mean that she will show up on Rachel.

[SoutherDem]

11. The Cycle

Reminds me of a bunch of college kids siting around the dorm. Worst show ever. MSNBC needs to drop it as soon as the contract ends.

[earthside]

29. And ... It is Boring ...

I've managed to view a couple of times for relatively brief periods.

And only that because it is a terribly dull and boring program.

If it were four college kids who were all about four sheets to the wind and were arguing bitterly about the virtues of liberalism versus the 'benefits' of conservatism, well, it might be interesting.

But that is not what it is. Is it more like four self-indulgent, spoiled, 'know-it-all' college kids each trying to show the others how smart they are.

It won't last.

On the other hand, I find it ironic that some here say that if they wanted to hear a 'conservative' like Cupp they would just watch FoxPAC News. Why do these folks just want to hear their side --- like the dedicated viewers of FoxPAC News?

One of the 'virtues' of liberalism is that it remains open to hear and discuss other points of views. Wanting to just hear a validating message is why Fox viewers are so ignorant -- I certainly don't want that from MSNBC or Ed Schultz.

[SoutherDem]

35. I won't lie. I really do not like Cupp

but it is not because she is conservative, it is her attitude. She is so pompous and arrogant. Her smirks and tone of voice appears she feels she is better than everyone else. I would welcome a conservative who has grown up. Her valley girl attitude is sickening.

[hifiguy]

38. If she tangles with kindly Doc Maddow, it will not end well

for Sippy Cupp. Not well at all.

[Bake]

39. I'd pay to see that!

SWEEEEEEEEEET!

Bake

[spanone]

4. he probably has no choice...she's on m$nbc now...ala scarborough

[lonestarnot]

5. But he made up for her with Bill Nye the Science Guy/Dude.

[Evergreen Emerald]

6. he is from Seattle

He used to be on a local comedy show that aired after Saturday Night Live. He is actually a pretty funny guy. And, apparently very smart.

But, I was in the bathroom washing the bile out of my mouth from Cupp--so I missed him.

[lonestarnot]

7. Wow, you missed a very important piece re climate change.

[lame54]

21. Almost live...

funny show

[frylock]

34. almost live..

i used to watch that when it was in syndication on comedy. great show!

[flamingdem]

8. I can't see Rachel tolerating Sippy Cupp

nein

[dmr]

14. Rachel only has people of substance on, so Cupp won't be a guest, because

there is no substance to Cupp. None!

I also predict The Cycle will be off the air soon. It's a waste of air time.

[theaocp]

27. Doesn't rachel have Michael Steele on? n/t

[dmr]

42. Big difference between Steele & Cupp -

Steele is a politician. Former Lt. Gov. of Maryland & former chairman of the RNC.

Cupp is only a political commentator, author & former employee of Glen Beck.

Steele's experience, insight, & perspective is what Rachel wants to tap into. Especially since he is a rare Republican politician brave enough to come on her show.

Cupps' offering of experience, insight & perspective, imo, mean little to Rachel.

I've found Cupp to be the typical right-wing commentator that exaggerates, mis- or dis-informs & rude, to boot. Rachel would eat her alive.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

9. MSNBC is going to push her on everyone

They think she's a new star. I think she's an idiot. As long as she is humbled and humiliated by her betters, I'll be fine with it.

[SoutherDem]

10. You read my mind.

I can't stand her. Not what she says as much as her attitude.

[Jamaal510]

12. Who knows...maybe it wasn't his idea to have her on his show,

and she was assigned to appear. As much as I dislike Ms. Sarah Elizabeth's politics, I don't get what the big deal is over having one conservative on the show every once in a while. Personally, I never take her seriously anyway because there's very little merit in what she says. Ed has liberals on there almost all the time, and he even had two on simultaneously while she was the only conservative there. And at least she isn't as much of a loud-mouth and as offensive as Ann Coulter or Sarah Palin.

[Raine]

13. I agree. It doesn't bother me to hear someone from the other side now and then

just reinforces that I'm on the correct side. Plus there are sure many more much worse than her.

[freshwest]

15. I think it is forced. Others on Bashir now. They won't stop, it's their media.

[Fawke Em]

24. Sarah Elizabeth is such a pretty name.

Why does she have to hide it behind her initials?

I'm guessing it's a gimmick... just like she is.

[brightertomorrow]

16. Was surprised to see her on ED

Somehow she just doesn't fit it on the ED show.

[DonCoquixote]

17. never forget who owns MSNBC

The right owns it, and wants to set up the left "alternative" as bowling pins to knock down, problem is, it is not working, thus they force Sippy Cupp. She is attractive and arrogant, thus they hope she will lure in the Palin fans. They can also tell the conservatives "hey, we got her on, watch her." Do not be surprised if they set her up against Rachel "hey, here's a real woman that ain't no (expletive for gay woman.)

[Atman]

18. What's with that name?

Is she really a c cup? Inquiring minds want to know!

[kenny blankenship]

31. Two Shills; One, Cupp.

I refuse to watch such degrading spectacles.

[Atman]

32. I haven't seen the show, and I don't plan to any time soon.

What's the point? It's one thing having these kids on as guests on other serious news shows, but I don't need to visit a nursery school to discuss politics with people that don't even know who Nixon was.

[Shankapotomus]

19. I think the Cycle is designed

to attract the young viewership and compete with Fox's The Five. If Cupp takes away viewers from Fox, and I think that's its goal, I'm all for it. Let the kiddies have their show. (I think it might get young people more involved and educated on politics). The Cycle is perfect for that demographic. We that demand more substance have all the other shows on MSNBC.

[Bluenorthwest]

22. A few things. First 'The Five' does not attract more young viewers than other FoxNews shows.

Like the rest of their programming, it is weak in that demographic. The Cycle and The Five are not in head to head slots, thus they are not competing for viewers, they can share them. The demographic that is 'perfect' for the Cycle is not watching the cycle. Last week they had a tiny peak at about 100K viewers in demo, next day 80K in demo, and so on.
The Cycle is a bupke. They are hyper promoting in house because it is failing.

[Honeycombe8]

20. Never heard of her. Her show must come on when I'm at work. nt

[BumRushDaShow]

23. Just like Faux Snot has a "Juan Williams" or "Alan Colmes"

so too does MSNBC have a "Joe Scarborough" and a "Sippy Cupp".

Question would be - if you had to pick, who is more extreme? Sippy or Buchanan?

[otohara]

25. I Will Continue to Watch Big Ed

It's good to see her spew the wingnut talking points and get shut-down by the other guests.

[JoePhilly]

26. Sippy Cupp is a right wing hack ... if I wanted RW talking points, I'd watch Fox.

[russspeakeasy]

28. The total MSNBC line up is weak and getting weaker.

They have even sedated Martin Bashir.

[soc7]

30. Oh heavens no!

I'm sure your ultimatum will make him fix everything right up for you!

[csziggy]

33. Just sent a comment to MSNBC

Send your own: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10285339/

The Cycle and in particular S. E. Cupp are lacking substance. I have been a regular viewer of MSNBC afternoon news shows. I watch Tamron Hall and Martin Bashir whenever I can.

Putting this group of immature, shallow people in between those two great reporters is an insult to them and to your viewers.

In particular S. E. Cupp is rude, obnoxious and uninformed. I refuse to watch her and while I would not be missing much when I am avoiding The Cycle, her promotional appearances on other MSNBC shows, such as The Ed Show, are causing me to miss programs I generally try to watch.

In fact, I am watching less of MSNBC because I turn away and find other programming that is not abrasive and insulting to my intelligence as ANY time with S. E. Cupp turns out to be.

I don't watch MSNBC to see retreads from Fox News and Glenn Beck's programming. I watch MSNBC to see intelligent, well informed commentators who know about current events and don't simply regurgitate right wing nut talking points.

Get rid of S. E. Cupp and The Cycle might possibly be worth watching.

[Blue_Tires]

36. I don't think Ed has much say

stunts like these usually come from offices on higher floors...

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

37. the new Ann Coulter

[ailsagirl]

40. Cannot stand her!

Send a complaint to MSNBC. I did. You just want to slap her glasses across the room!

[mick063]

44. Leave it to MSNBC

To give us the next Ann Coulter.

What a lame attempt to present "balance".

[ailsagirl]

46. You know, Ms Cupp seems to have toned down her rhetoric/demeanor

the last few days. Perhaps she's having an "off" week, but she seems more a part of the foursome, rather than a threesome + one conservative.

Maybe word got out? I know of people who have emailed MSNBC about her lack of professionalism.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

47. I can't stand her, but she's cute and it seems like Bill Maher and Big Ed like her.

She's an annoying LIAR!!!

[SoCalDem]

48. or ANY other MSNBC show that she has recently "infected"

I wish that MSNBC would cluster them all together on ONE show and get them OFF the rest of the shows.

Once & for all test their ratings gathering..and then jettison them all on Fox's front steps when they fall flat.


We don't tune into the very few shows that lean left to have to keep hitting the mute button every time one of these right-wing miscreants opens their yap..


I don't CARE what they think... if I did, I would be watching FOX or CNN
