...to get to a f*cking point!

Don't get me wrong, I love what she does, but she drags her sentences out SO. Bloomin'. TEDIOUSLY!! Like I'm a stoopid frickin' FIFTH-grader......It's hard to watch her for very long.

i get close to throwing a brick through the TV when she repeats and repeats and repeats, trying to (eventually) get to the point. 20 minutes of my life that I won't get back.

MSNBC would need to break in to run commercials.

"Hold that thought...I'll be back in a minute to repeat what I just said five minutes ago."

One hour is plenty to prevent burnout.

Also, there is a tendency to fill with BS, if there is more time than that.

It can't be easy doing one-hour per day, let alone more. The show would decline, in my opinion.
