we only lose one hour of Ed a week.
I never watch prisons but found it amusing when Rachel sent us there for so long! 
But I too enjoy Ed. I am sorry if this is a demotion of sorts.
Close the thread down.
at MSNBC. Actual "Democrats" watch MSNBC.
I love the wonkiness of Ezra as well. And I think he is so cute- but I'm almost 70 years old so I am allowed! I also love Ezra because he is so sharp and witty especially when it comes to discussing economics. 
I would also love to see Joy Reid with her own show. I did some research and discovered that Joy is not a newcomer to the political scene and has background and well planted roots in the Florida "political" soil where she has been a "political" person for a long time. She is also well educated which is a privilege and pleasure to see among more females nowadays. She is also a good speaker and can discuss any political element that is covered.
It would be nice if both Ezra and Joy could each have a show. That's not asking for too much and not too much out of the realm of possibilities.
30% of the time repubs are on air reading their talking points.
New York Times reporter and Harvard grad Annie Lowrey has been on Rachel Maddow's show and is very well spoken.
try to work in a joke every other second, it could be quite a meaningful show. Sadly, so much of progressive media depends on rightwing media to sustain their shows. It's like they all have the same producer. It's almost like if you watch one show on MSNBC, you can guess what the rest of the lineup will be doing that day. I don't watch Rachel very often, but when I do, she seems to be the only one who puts work & research into her hour. She doesn't rely on endless video & soundbites from rightwing talk radio and Faux News, and the same goes for Melissa.
I also wish MSNBC would do more international news stories, along the lines of Fareed Zakaria. Fareed does the politics thing from time to time, but he often goes outside the DC media bubble, which makes for must see teevee on Sunday morning. I guess the networks are giving the people what they want, but dammit there's a whole big world out there that doesn't revolve around which party scored this week.
Steph has a daily segment dedicated to highlighting rightwingers, I think it's called "Rightwing World" or some such nonsense. I understand it's a cheap way to produce a 3 hour show, but Gawd it's boring. And most shows on MSNBC are just talk radio on the teevee. Even Lawrence, whom I agree with most of the time, has a nightly Rush Limbaugh and/or Bill O'Reilly segment. I've been wondering lately if they actually have a side deal to promote these idiot blowhards? This is not just about seeing what the "other side" is doing, it's more than that. I honestly believe that progressive media sees their fate as tied to that of the Limbaughs/Hannitys and O'Reillys, and that's just sad. 
I can hear that sweet voice again....thank you so much!! I miss that young lady so much.
Funny, cause when I first started listening to her, I couldn't stand her voice. She has that "New York Jewish female voice" that is just normally a completely annoying turn-off to me. And yes, she is Jewish, and maybe she is from New York - but I absolutely LOVE the wisdom and patience that come out of her mouth. The woman is a gift!
I will be listening again. I just can't believe we dumped KPOJ in Portland for a fookin' sports channel. How sad is that!
progressive radio is a threat, and they're shutting 'em down nationwide, like anybody needs another sports radio station. Enjoy Randi.
He's a voice like no other. You'd think his stock would have just risen sky high after Scott Prouty (the 47% recording guy) chose Ed's show to finally go public.
That changes everything. 
Hate to be blunt about it, but, who cares?..That's what channel changers
are for. The importance of Ed is that a LOT of people like and relate
to him and he's the ONLY one on the MSNBC lineup who speaks
out consistently for unions and workers rights.
Yes, indeed -- His show is moving because YOU change the channel.
I do hope you meant that to be funny. 
Obviously his ratings are sucking or he'd have a better time slot.
Re-read your post and learn to communicate better.
By the way, there's no "obviously" here...His wife was stricken by cancer last year
and, as another poster mentioned, he may well want to stay closer to home
But that would be ungentlemanly like.
The fact that you think I believe that Ed moved his show for the sole purpose that I quit watching it is comical.
I'm glad you got a laugh.
Now you go troll someone else (Since you are so much above me).
Wasn't this originally about how bad the ed show sucks balls..
It still does.
Now I will leave you to your witty response.
And I will ignore it.
Have a nice bitter life..
with other's trying to hurt you, you might avoid trying
to hurt or insult them. It's that "do unto others" thing.
I'm answering both of your questions: 1. "Is that supposed to hurt me in some way"?
No, it was my second attempt to show you that it was your unclear
writing, not my "weird" interpretation of your words, that was at fault.
Since my first attempt was answered by you with total snark, you'll have to excuse
me if I wasn't overly sensitive to your feelings on the second go round. It's the "do unto others" thing again.
B. "Wasn't this originally about how the ed show sucks balls"?
No, that was your opinion and that of some others, but if you read all or most of the thread,
you'd see that at least half the posters LIKED the Ed show and were sorry to see it go to weekends only.
Truthfully, you sound kind of young and immature, so I'm honestly not interested in fighting with you.
In saying that, I must also tell you that I'm about the least bitter person you're likely to meet right now.
Maybe you're projecting your own bitterness onto me. Sometimes that comes from depression
and I certainly don't wish that on you, as I was once young and depressed and know how hard that can be.
I think it might be best if we ignore each other for now, but I do hope that you
work out whatever is bothering you, and I do mean that sincerely.
BTW, the only other person besides Rev. Al Sharpton who had it right was Dennis Haysbert who played the President on 24. He was promoting something the morning after the debate, and he told the local morning show exactly what i said that night.

they put little Luke Russert on.
On the other hand if they could steal away Soledad O'Brien
Ed, thank you for everything you have done. My wife will not be happy about your move because I will be watching you on the weekends now. Keep up the fight, start talking about the Trans Pacific Partnership, the American people need to know.
