DU MSNBC's New Anchor Lineup,vote for the host you're most likely to watch:
MSNBC is in the midst of some major changes to its anchor lineup.

The channel, which is finally adding a new show at 10PM (in place of the "Countdown" repeat), is also shaking up dayside.

TVNewser reported that Tamron Hall will be getting a branded hour at 2PM, and ex-"Nightline" anchor Martin Bashir will be anchoring at 3PM.

See the full network lineup below, and vote for the host you're most likely to watch:

1. I haven't seen MSNBC daytime enough to comment on Tamron
She's real pretty, though.

Martin Bashir, as well as Nightline itself, seems like pretty much tabloid trash.

I mostly agree with Larry O'Donnell, but he's a bit of a prig, isn't he?

Olbermann is sometimes great, but sometimes morphs into a self-caricature.

I think Tweety means well, but he's all over the map, and I can never forget him and G. Gordon Liddy talking about their adoration of what they perceived as George W's very large penis.

I like Ed, but shit, he takes the idea of a "fast pace" to ridiculous levels. I detest his one-minute "interviews." And his "you bet" comments are making me consider suicide.

Rachel Maddow is the ruling queen of MSNBC. She's the very best on that channel.

4. I also like Dylan Ratigan.
I don't watch MSNBC on TV. I watch shows and portions of shows on-line. I like the evening crew. Can't stand the Scarborough clown-show in the morning. I think you are too tough on Ed and Olbermann. Tweety gets carried away with himself but can be quite helpful in getting core facts from interviewees. Rachel Maddow cannot be beat. I hope we continue to see a lot of Cenk on MSNBC.

I was disappointed recently to see that a large chain of hotels in which I was staying did not include MSNBC among the channels it offered for free. I hope that ever higher ratings on MSNBC will mean that it is made available more frequently in public venues.

3. Doesn't matter, once Comcast takes over the network will be Morn Joe 24/7
Who here trust Comcast to keep KO, Schultz, and Maddow?

5. When You Pay More Attention To Who Give The News Than The News Itself
It says how low the corporate media has sunk. These people are supposed to be news readers and not much else...its the content that matters, not who delivers it. The problem is our media has become its own celebrity pit where careers and egos reign over doing serious journalism or presenting it in an objective manner.

7. Actually, I disagree with your assuming their job is news reading
MSNBC bills itself as "The Place For Politics". It is an opinion station with some news thrown in. None of the branded shows claim to be "news".

I am not praising them. Personally, I think they're worse than Fox because they make people *think* they're left leaning. They simply are not.

9. The Blur Between News and Politics
Supposedly the opinion part of the scedule are the evening shows...not the daytime. Much of the "news" is of their own polls or pitting two partisan hacks to blather. Not much real substance there. Or you have the ongong ego battles...such as Big Ed's crusade against Dreck or KO's obsession with Murdoch (which I find entertaining but hardly informative) where it's mostly ego on display.

Guess I'm a bit old fashioned...I had a J school professor who drilled into my class that News was reporting of the "4 Ws"...who, what, where and when. If you used the fifth "W"...why, it better be sourced...not opinion or conjecture. One never used the word "I" and that the whole essence of the information should be expressed in one paragraph. A far cry from what I see/hear these days.

You are very right about the deception of people thinking MSNBC is the left equivelent of faux...just shows how far to the right our corporate media has pushed things...and keep pushing.

Cheers...
