MSNBC : Ezra Klein or Al Sharpton?
I really like both of these guys but I think MSNBC may be trying one of them out for the 6:00pm slot?

Just a hunch.

But Ezra Klein is sharp as a tack. He looks at issues in a very intelligent manner. Rev Sharpton is funny as hell! He cracks me up! But he gets the job done. He cuts right to the chase and has a very good way of framing his questions.

I think if I had to flip a coin, I might hope it come out in Ezra's favor but I think both of them deserve their own show? I think maybe they should open up a later slot?

2. I like them both, and particularly like Ezra being interviewed,
by Rachel and Lawrence. SO, I'd select Rev. Al for his own show.

3. How about Cenk whatever the fuck his name is?
And then put Sharpton in place of the first session of drooly boy Matthews.

And Klein in place of the second session.

And send Matthews down the road.

14. I support your solution.
I can't stand Matthews, and I don't know why MSNBC has to give him two hours daily. I watch MSNBC at 3:00pm pacific and O'Donnell at 5:00pm. The 2:00pm and 4:00pm are dead time because of Matthews.

4. yes, please!
Love them both. Ezra has been a favorite since his earliest appearances and Al is funny and knows how to kick ass.

7. Dump Tweety totally
Can't stand him. Then have Cenk, Ezra and Rev. Al. That's my programming decision.

11. Ezra Klein
Without question. I respect Al Sharpton but find that I just can't watch/listen to him and have to turn him off

12. I'm leaning toward Sharpton. He takes
no shit from anyone. However, he does have the bad habit of interrupting people and I HATE that (Tweety syndrome)....unless it's a repuke who needs to be silenced (like he JUST DID to Steele! Go, Al!), but he does it to everyone. Drives me nuts. If he'd work on that, Al hands down for me. :)

15. Sharpton didn't let Michael Steele roll him today, you can tell he can't stand him
and I like that!! Rachel is a bit too wink wink about him.
