I did like MSNBC but Rachel is following her masters in order to keep her lucrative position and Olbermann is gone and Hayes is good, but he's not enough to keep me there.
Something else I've noticed, Rachel, Hayes, and others are now talking as fast as they can on their shows. I think it's to make more time for commercials, and I hate, hate, hate them.
Companies should only be allowed to show new products. How many times do I need to see the bears with the toilet paper?? I know we need toilet paper, I buy the kind I like and they will never sell me toilet paper unless it's a buy one get 4 (or more) free.
