What do you think about "Morning Meeting?"
I'm ambivalent. On one hand it seems to have less fluff than the other MSM shit. But the host also goes off on rants and tangents, that sometimes become a little tiresome.

3. It's something on tv?
I don't watch tv news, and I don't do tv talk shows.

So if it's one of those things on tv, I think it's not worth my time or attention.

4. MSNBC, following Morning Joe.
I really don't like the hosts on the morning CNN shows, so when I'm in the mood for t.v. news I sometimes watch MM. But like I said it becomes boring when the host goes on a rant. He is pretty full of himself.

5. I've never watched any of them.
I do listen to NPR for the 15 minutes it takes me to drive to work every morning.

Other than that, I read my news.

6. Good for you.
I often just have the t.v. on as background noise.

11. I think the content is fairly good
But Ratigan's tone of voice and rapid-fire speech is so annoying I always end up turning it off. At first I thought he was just nervous, but he should have settled in by now. -- Wanet

12. I forgot one more comment
I think calling it "morning meeting", with the agenda, etc. is a terrible idea. How many people enjoy their morning meeting at work? Most of us see it as a dreaded waste of time. -- Wanet
