Just a general question re: Greta on MSNBC

Does anyone here watch Greta? I generally have MSNBC on throughout the day but when Greta comes on I switch over to CNN till Mathews comes on( yeah, I know, Blitzer). Since she came from FOX I have real reservations about watching her program. What little I have seen, she seems to have more righties as guests. Has the news culture at MSNBC influenced her at all? I never watched her on FOX so I have no idea what her program was like over there. Any comments from those that have watched her then and now?

As soon as her show comes on I switch the channel.
Generally don't come back until Chris Hayes.
I hope MSNBC is happy with their decision.
Wonder where they will putting Gretchen Carlson and Megan Kelly?

Got her name during the oj trial. She used to be on cnn until faux gave her tons of money and plastic surgery to fix her face.

Best advice. Turn OFF m$nbc during the day. It's just faux-lite. Around 7pm they start to lean left back into reality. By 9pm it is the real world. But only for a few hours.

Great is a partisan piece of crap.

Greta is part of the Foxification of GE-Comcrap-MS-NBC News with Aryan racist Gretchen "is Serena racist" Carlson, and the Queen fucking Bee of unfair and unbalanced reporting that lying racist piece of dog shit Megan Kelly.

Look for Greta to just suck all the time, just like she did over 8 years of Obama bashing. She needs to eat her own shit and die. A waste of electricity to have your TV on when she is on the air.

I'm looking forward to her fellow Fox ahole Kelly lecturing us about how Jesus and Santa are white, and how the New Black Panthers help throw elections by blocking republicans from getting t their voting machines.

I'm self employed so when I don't have any work I leave MSNBC on during the day. Chris Hayes is ok but Rachael and Lawrence are my favorites. They really get down to the meat of an issue. I actually like Brian Williams too and the 11th Hour if I stay up.

I saw a bit of her when she was new, and her act looked like the same old slant.

Not much pizzazz to her personality. She does the equivalency 2-step dance. Piss-poor as a journalist.

is if it draws in righty viewers who begin to get in the habit of leaving MSNBC on instead of Fox...and maybe they start to hear a little Rachel, some Chris Hayes...maybe they're even awake for Lawrence.

It could deprogram the Fox effect.

I have hope ~
