Tornado Alley (PROG)

[F6]

migo -- Ezra's another brainiac-classer on the rise -- heard he's gonna get his own show, perhaps in Ed's slot -- with Ed then to be moved again, apparently -- maybe they'll go to just showing Hardball once -- I like Ed; in his own way he's won me over, good overtly pro-labor voice to have, and he does occasionally have his own good/great themes that he first articulates there -- and as very skeptical of him as I was before his show, I've even grown to like Rev Al; he's not stupid, his heart's in a good place, he says what he means (and keeps working to understand better), and his also is a voice and perspective that's good to have -- the other thought might be, Ezra taking over from Lawrence? -- or it's just a happenstance that Ezra's been subbing for Lawrence quite a bit recently? -- if Ezra gets his own and all the others stay in, that's a full six nightly shows

and then there's Chris Hayes -- though I think I saw that he said, at least, that he prefers the weekend gig setup, where he also guests all the time on the weekday shows?

seems to me MSNBC has been steadily putting together something of a Murderer's Row of really good, really sharp, progressively-oriented reality-based hosts/shows -- not the opposite of Fox, the antithesis of Fox (or any similarly rooted in some hard/authoritarian-left ideology reality-denying mirror of Fox) -- very nice to see, of course; quite probably has already made a real difference in what's happened/happening in this country
