Who let Alex tWitt on msnbc during the 12-2pm slot?
Tameron Hall certainly deserves a vacation, but shouldn't msnbc fill her slot with someone as intelligent and thoughtful as she is? I can't stand Alex Witt at all, but she grades on my nerves even more to be filling in for Tameron.

1. I think Alex Witt scores high with daytime demographics
You know, the soccer mom crowd.

I will say that if she would avoid politics she is passable as a news reader.

2. I can't stand her even reading the news
Her voice does awful fluctuations. She places a weird, screechy high pitch emphasis on some words that is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

3. The only reason I dont mind her is her ease in front of a camera
She comes across as being comfortable in front of a camera.

That doesnt mean she appeals to everyone though, and that I understand.

I dont really like watching her except on early Sunday morning (her usual gig) as she doesnt seem to be someone thats very politically motivated or good at talking about politics, which is MSNBC's entire programming during weekdays.

5. Alex is a pro I can at least stomach watching her for hour without cringing

4. I get PO'd with any one other than David and Tamron. When I saw Witt
today, I got PO'd, and started to whip off an email to msnbc.
