20. Hell, she deserves two timeslots!

And why not? Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle have more than one show. Combined they get three hours a day, Monday through Friday. And there's still somehow no room for Joy Reid, full-time?

I'd say start complaining on @msnbc

Joy Reid is THE BEST interviewer in the news business. She does not suffer fools. She does not allow the "Gish Gallop" to continue, where some CON starts running off at the mouth and filibustering their wrong-wing talking points. She doesn't even allow a guest to try to slip in phrases like "the democrat party" or "my democrat colleagues" or "the democrat bill." I've seen her stop the conversation cold and gently but firmly correct the offender - "now, c'mon. We don't say that here. It's 'Democratic Party'..." etc. I REALLY love and appreciate that. That's bothered me for YEARS.

That's another thing I fantasize about doing, in my fantasy job as News Chief at MSNBC: imposing a new rule. Thou Shalt NOT Allow Guests To Get Away With Saying "Democrat Party" And/Or Other Such Derivatives. Obey this or lose your show.

If only there were more like her. She is a breath of fresh air in a stinking pool of smirkymonkey Jul 2017 #1
