Yup.

I was hoping that Ari Melber would yet the gig but I'm fine with Hayes. He and Rachel Maddow back to back will be great. Most insightful two hours on TV!

What is something someone would say about cable news only if they were a crazy person?

Watching cable news for insight is like reading game threads for rational, nuanced opinions.

I would agree with you normally but Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes aren't prototypical cable news hosts. You obviously haven't watched their shows on a regular basis.

i mean maddow was reporting on the benghazi thing being a calculated, orchestrated attack literally a day or two after it happened and loooonnng before fox news picked it up and ran with it for months. obviously it shouldn't be your only source of information but you could do much much worse (and people do).

let me state again that chris matthews, lawrence o'donnell and the lot suck.

Yeah I wouldn't go as far as you did, but Maddow (despite the obvious bias) is very, very astute.

I think Psych and White Collar are the two most insightful hours on TV.

Yeh, I thought that was common knowledge. I was just referencing the Bush racism.
