I watch Morning Joe, but I don't like it.

So I give him that. I do like his correspondents, esp. when they cover books by political writers. I like Mika's push for more women in the press and in power in Washington.
I really think people get too exercised about some of this. Let's save our energy and direct our efforts to get our good Dems into office and defeating the bad guys.

Last week I watched two hummers having a squeaky face-off in midair.

Don't have cable. Plug an antenna into your digital TV.
10 times more people watch the news on traditional networks than all cable news channels combined.

That will get enough national (and local) news out in 30 minutes to keep myself informed.

I do that for Maddow and O'Donnell just in case I miss it. And do the same for local news.
