O'Donnell really knows his stuff, has great guests and provides an unvarnished and considered look at the inside-the-beltway game.
Rev Al asks hard questions and does NOT let up on his guests (though I could do without all the references to Jeebus - well, he is Rev, after all).
I've also been impressed with Tweety of late. He seems to have come out as a leftist and has been challenging the RWers consistently. He's also been defending Obama vigorously.
I've cooled a bit to Rachel's show. I found it enjoyable last week when Melissa H-P was guest host. Maybe I've cooled to Rachel a bit. She still has a great show, but I could do without the badgering in her initial segment each night where she presents 18 different ways of saying the same thing...and her "best thing today" segment - like the earlier and abandoned "cocktail" segment - comes off as being a bit childish for my taste. I still watch, but I think she has some competition within her own network at this point.
Keith O is tearing up the airwaves at Current, but he seems a little bit like last year's fad now that he's off MSNBC. I only catch his show as a rerun as he conflicts with The Last Word which has become my default #1 progressive show these days. As much as I was pissed at MSNBC for how they treated Keith - and Cenk - it's encouraging that they're showcasing so many guest hosts these days, hosts who may end up getting a show of their own, à la Chris Hayes.
Ed is Ed - hit or miss. I wish he'd give his guests more time to make their points.
I'd be interested in the thoughts of others on today's progressive TV shows, especially what's happening at MSNBC of late. When Keith left MSNBC, the worries were that they would move right. If anything, they moved more left, albeit by employing more-moderate voices, IMHO.
