Joy Reid should be in prime time.

Or 24/7 everywhere. She is truly a joy to watch, no funny pun intended. She is the smartest, most articulate journalist on the air today. She pulls no punches, she's kicks ass. Absolutely love this person. She brings me back to the old days of 60 Minutes when they surprised people at their front door with a camera in their face. She's awesome.

Problem with giving her prime time is which show gets booted? I like all three.

Maybe give her the Hardball slot ... Too bad Matthews would throw his weight around to prevent that from happening.

I have less time during the week to watch any prime time. I enjoy Rachel and O'Donnell. But I can watch all 2 hours on weekends of Joy.

Better to have 2 hrs to cover the topics thoroughly, than be under pressure to get all those prime-time commercials in.

other progressive daytime hosts, when was that, in 2015?

And they also got rid of Melissa Harris Perry last year, just room for one AA female in a lead role I guess. Craig Melvin is the AA male. He's also very good but on very early in the morning.

But even if they dumped Joy she's so brilliant someone would pick her up right away.

CNN maybe? Chris Cuomo and even Don Lemon have been stepping up to the plate lately on the Russia stuff.
