Krystal Ball - The Cycle

[fadedrose]

I wish to hell she'd stop laughing when someone is talking. And I don't like her speaking voice either.

They just said something like, to paraphrase, Joe stays on the ticket because Hillary turned it down.

Hate this program....

1. Krystal Ball is a treasure

I've never seen the show you're referring to, but I've seen her on other MSNBC shows as a guest and she's great

10. She's like Alex Wagner. As a host she sucks, but as a guest - then she speaks her mind.

2. well, trashing the messenger is an unfair tactic, but you are entitled to not like anyone you want

and I have the right to question your taste.

3. Don't really care for the program, but I find Crystal Ball refreshing and very real...

13. Really rude

When Howard Feinman was on somebody's program the other night, he had the camera on him, and was saying some really interesting things that I was trying to hear over Krystal's laughing, which she did all through his bit. And she's done this giggling to other guests as well.

And he wasn't being funny - mildly amusing, but informative more than anything.

You can't laugh and listen at the same time. They should cut off her mike if she can't keep quiet.

I like Howard Feinman and probably took it too personally when she ruined his shpeel.

4. I LOVE KB!

[ann---]

5. I don't like it either

Her remarks are sometimes smart, but mostly I don't watch the whole show - depending on the topic. Cannot STAND that Cupp person. And can't stand that MSNBC now has Michael Steele on Hardball almost every day.

Getting very boring. Rachel and Lawrence are the best!

6. Three of the four on that show ...

... have interesting points of view.

But 'The Cycle' is such a crappy show that it makes them all look bad.

Ball, Toure, Kornake are all good when they are guest hosts or commentators on other programs.

The format of 'The Cycle' is just so ... smarmy?
Four thirty-something's sitting around being impressed with each other.

What was MSNBC thinking?

I would like to see a show at that hour that gave a rundown of the day's political news -- kind of like the old 'Inside Politics' program that CNN had many, many years ago.

12. I miss Judy Woodruff - she was great on that program

I was furious when they cut it from one hour to l/2 hour...

[LyndaG]

7. Thumbs Up!

She does a good job. Would've been great in Congress, too.

[Blue Idaho]

8. The Cycle = Pure Crap

A test pattern would be more entertaining.

[riverbendviewgal]

9. Don't like the show

I think Ezra Klein would be better.

11. I love Krystal. It's Sippy Cupp that stops me from watching. nt
