Is it just me, or is Soledad O'Brien the most tenacious anchor

[leftofthedial]

on cable news?

She is asking every guest tough questions and refusing to let them slide or obfuscate.

1. And she's pretty hot too!

[dutchdemocrat]

7. Pretty Hot.... I'd say

She's no idiot either...


Soledad attended Harvard and Radcliffe College, studying English and American Studies and taking a lot of science courses including summer classes at the State University of NY at Stonybrook "with the crazed notion of becoming a doctor." And (like Bill Gates) left when she was 21 (before graduation) for a job as a newsroom assistant.

21. sorry but she's still a whore for the administration although she may be

doing her job now

[ecoflame]

2. It's just you.....

[rodeodance]

3. I thought she was a bit rough on Gov of LA.

[leftofthedial]

5. I thought so too, but the truth is, though, Soledad was right

we're moving into day three of a disaster for which we had a week's warning and decades now of foreknowledge that it was possible. Yet there are no specific plans for some pretty basis, predictable problems.

I liked her interview with the oil industry shill who tried to skate around her question about price caps. She wouldn't let him weasel out of it.

9. she needs to be rough on the federal government

The Gov. is at the mercy of FEMA and HS and they have been fucking this up since the start. It would have been nice if that had been brought up.

[MildyRules]

11. Doesn't the City of NO

and the State of LA bear some responsibility as well?

[Skwmom]

13. I think they all bear some responsibility. n/m

[leftofthedial]

12. she has avoided tough scrutiny of the bushturds

but I was surprised when she nailed the oil industry shill

[bicentennial_baby]

4. you're joking, right?

:rofl:

[leftofthedial]

6. I never watch CNN, until this morning

She has been asking tough questions and not letting her guests off the hook.

If she's not usually like this, then I guess the answer is no. But she has been tough this morning.

[MildyRules]

8. You're right, she's been great

And very easy on the eyes to boot!

[flordehinojos]

10. soledad o'brien is generally a bush SHILL and does it quite well when she

wants to.....

[Dawgs]

14. I have zero use for her...

Her interview this morning of the mayor of New Orleans was disgusting and pathetic. It's real easy for her, or any of us, to say, 'Don't you have a plan yet?', when we are sitting high and dry no where near the Gulf Coast. She has no idea how hard this is.

When she said 'why don't you just fly those people away that are sitting in the SuperDome' I wanted to put my hands through the TV and strangle her. The Mayor correctly responded by saying, 'we have a much higher priority in saving the thousands that are on roof tops and in attacks.'.

She really made a fool of herself today.

[MadisonProgressive]

22. I have one use for her - but I don't think she'd go along with it!

[lpbk2713]

15. Alright .....

when she sits down toe-to-toe with Chaneyburton for about an hour and grills him good and takes him to task on a number of issues then I will form an opinion of Soledad. Until then she's just another early morning talking head as far as I'm concerned.

16. Daryn Kagan

is the worst. I would rather watch Faux than her.

[AlCzervik]

17. ok she's better then Bill Hemmer who must have left or is on vacation.

[Auntie Bush]

18. Bill is anchoring at Faux.

[AlCzervik]

19. well i guess that explains him then, he is one of them.

Now he can just be totally out front about it.

[julialnyc]

20. I like Aaron Brown on cnn

he seems to have a heart about these tragic events and puts together very well produced segments.whenever he talks about Bush you can hear sarcasm (last night he rolled his eyes when talking about Bush "leaving vacation')
