First MSNBC dumped Keith Olbermann, then Martin Bashir, Karen Finney, now Joy Reid. I was so glad Savannah Guthrie got out of their line-up when she did to get a platform more suited to genius. Her work on MSNBC was noticably stellar, but the management gave others the weighty
things to analyze before she got to them. Watching that was incredibly irritating.
I don't use the word 'genius' lightly. These were people who had the gift of making salient the short
interview with long-time experts. These journalists knew the questions to ask so that the remainder of us could absorb information from the answers, and they knew how to do it quickly.
I thought for a moment (and am glad I was mistaken) we'd also lost Turae on the show, The Cycle.
Why should these shows have had to compete with Fox News? No MSNBC show is competitive with Fox.
America is just not yet that enlightened.
