I'm sorry, but Cenk sucks. (MSNBC @ 6pm E) |
|
Cenk Urgur (sp?) taking over Ed Schultz time slot. I prefer Ed.

36. Thanks for the information. Hadn't heard that. |

Haven't been watching that much TV lately, and barely know the earth is still spinning.

38. Ed never challenged Amy Holmes in her slander of Hillary Clinton. |
|
Holmes said Hillary accused G.W.Bush of prior knowledege of 9/11 attack.

8. Cenk is better online than he is on TV. |
|
He is relaxed and witty online. On TV he's uptight and he stumbles over his tongue all the time.

10. He rarely gives me an "aha" moment and doesn't grab my attention much. |
|
I feel bad for him though. He has huge shoes to fill.

17. Honestly, they both tend toward yelling |
|
although Cenk does it with a somewhat more of an emotional edge. Unfortunately, that combination tends to really trigger my anxieties.
I prefer calmer, detailed, reasoned and nuanced presentations that include things I didn't already know. I guess what I am saying is that I have a personal preference for news more than commentary.

19. They should keep Ed Schultz at 6 plus a re-run at 10 |
|
That way folks who don't get home until later will get a chance to see his show.
I think 4 hours of primetime programming is enough for most people.
The Ed Show, Hardball, O'Donnell, Maddow ...
Cenk should be a regular contributor to one of these shows.
But I don't think he appeals to a blue collar audience like Ed Schultz does.

42. Like the all-weekend marathons of Lockup... |
|
And how they rerun Tweety several times a night. They don't have a west coast feed, so I was S.O.L. on Friday nights if I ever got off work late and didn't DVR KO. They start the prison fest at 8 p.m. MT.

20. Cenk is a pot stirrer. |
|
Just now stirring it with Robert Reich. I think Rachel and Lawrence will have the whole prime time on their shoulders. The bit players are not going to cut it.

Edited on Mon Jan-24-11 06:41 PM by iamthebandfanman
so not really up to snuff on him to make a judgement ..
Ed tho... shewie... he was all sorts of trying to be a moderate back before the 2004 election... trying to stay neutral on a lot of subjects...
im not sure when exactly he decided to proclaim himself a bleeding heart liberal tho ... id imagine the ability, all of a sudden, to make money off of being a leftie may have something to do with it ;)

31. Well, I'll give him a chance |

he's still relatively new to tv. I'd like to see Thom Hartmann start filling in and hosting now that he lives in DC.

34. Disagree - I thought it was a good show with good guests; kept my attention. |
|
Main thing I don't like about Cenk is when he talks about which women he thinks are objectively hot on TYT.
Also I think he's too cynical about Obama sometimes.

was really good when he was filling in for Ed and Dylan Rattigan. His show had a bit of a rough start though.

I completely agree. Ed was able to "fire up" his viewers and having him @ 10pm instead is not really jiving with me right now. Cenk seems like a temporary host...he seems like he is still trying to shape an identity for himself which is painful to watch.
