What I love most about Joy Reid

22. I have a different take on this decision that I'd like to share

Joy Reid is so smart, her personality so enthusiastic and her debating skills so keen that a 2-hour slot is a better framework for her. I believe her approach is too big for the confines of a one hour broadcast. Two hours gives her the time to have effective roundtable discussions and to bring back certain guests so they can talk about new topics and help her tie them together with what they discussed earlier in the program. What's better than longer discussions with Malcolm Nance on two segments.

I was sorry to see her replaced Monday to Friday. But her approach blossoms in the two hour format. Now she can even catch her breath during the ads.

I rarely get going early enough in the morning to catch her show live. So when I watch the recordings and breeze through most commercials I get an in depth C-Span feeling. It's an education and a treat. This morning's offering was so good I may watch it again this evening. Her analysis was on fire during the health care segment.

JR has made the weekend important viewing because otherwise I'll lose out on some of the best analysis and skewering of right winger talking points.
