Even apart from everything else, she has such an unpleasant voice that I don't understand how she ever got a job in broadcasting. I wouldn't hire her to do the early morning farm report on Podunk AM Radio.

Big Waste. I don't care that Rachel seems to like her as a colleague.

NBC/MSNBC must have (had?) money to burn to make that decision.

Only respected her somewhat way back in the days if the OJ drama, when she contributed as a legal voice. Cant remember if it was o Brill CourtTV or CNN. Before she cashed at Faux and before evident plastic surgery.

much of her. She probably didn't have a choice in plugging her show.

I watched the top two segments of each of her first three shows and she blew her pledge big time. She allowed bogus RW talking points to go unchallenged or if she did question them it was a weak, pro forma challenge. She always skewed way right, and was nowhere near an objective journalist who was concerned with "the facts."

Those who actually watch her bullshit are the reason she hasn't been fired yet

Greta became known during the OJ trial. She was actually quite astute in many of her legal opinions during the trial. This developed into the job at Fox and she turned into a shill for the right. I watched her once since she went to MSNBC and found her not to be the person she once was. What a horrible disappointment and waste.
