and that surprises even me. I can watch it when Brian or Ari are anchoring, but I still can't take Nicole Wallace, who seems to be his favorite fill-in.

I hear people here talk about Rachel and Lawrence but I rarely see comments about Hayes. Why is that?

8pm/7pm CDT may be when a lot of people are either out or busy with younger children. Just a guess.

He's not as blindly partisan as Rachel Maddow so naturally he won't fare as well here. Maddow's best role is taking a favorable issue or development and digging out every detail while overreacting to likely consequences and repeating for emphasis. You need somebody like that for day to day obsession but it is laughable every time she is touted as an intellectual. During election years she is brutally overmatched, with no clue how people will vote, or why.

Hayes always catches onto meaningful trends long before Maddow knows they exist. Most of the time they sail smack past her. She'll be smugly grinning about something else while the big picture variables totally elude her. She has the shattered stunned look on election nights that don't go well because she never comprehended that something other than her own fixations would dictate the result.

Chris Hayes is the best young liberal host in memory.

Nothing gets past Hayes. I get pissed off when newscasters don't point out the facts when someone lies on their show. Chris doesn't go on the attack like Joy does but he never misses a beat. He is the true intellectual of the bunch. I'm just sorry more people don't watch him.

Don't get me wrong, I think Rachel is plenty smart but I feel she is patronizing. As if I didn't know that history, or that I need to know some obscure history to understand her point. And sometimes I like the blatant partisanship of Lawrence but I never miss All In.

already told Rachel's producer that they will "never speak again". Which I suppose is a compliment depending on how you look at it.

We have to get rid of Fox Ruse to get 1/1,000th of the deplorable to believe Hillary and the evil dems are not the cause of all of their problems. The GOP and and his groupies won't do shit unless he rapes a little old lady carrying a box of orphaned puppies then kills her on 5th Ave on live TV.

Compare a PhD in Political Science to one of the blonde bimbos at Faux News. Rachel is just so good.

for a few tonight while channel surfing. He had Judge Jeannine and Ari Fleischer. Typical right-wing blah blah about the liberal media who has it out for the innocent Trump family, but one thing made me LOL. They said Trump has the "thickest skin" of anyone and doesn't care what is said about him, but he won't tolerate anyone going after his family. They also said that this Scarramucci guy is going to turn the WH around and we won't know what hit us.

Hannity comes across like a rabid dog.

I love Rachel but my favorite is O'Donnell. He really loathes Trump.

Personally, I like Chris Hayes better than Brian Williams!
But of all the MSNBC hosts, Joy Reid is my favorite.

I have to rely on this poor little sat-connected thing! So, online works, and I got a GREAT new monitor last Christmas. Will make attempts to view online.
