New MSNBC morning show: "Morning Meeting" with Dylan Ratigan

First subject, the revolving door between regulators & the regulated.
Guest: Eliot Spitzer

will be watching with interest

Spitzer is saying Obama admin isn't going far enough.

She is michaeljacksoning right now.. "headlines"?

to see they felt the need to bring jacksonsdoctorslawyer into the lineup... I have already heard pretty much all he has to add to the story so far.

When they had him on to introduce his show some time ago he was also speaking rather fast. I've got to admit its a bit jarring first thing in the morning. Relaxing would be good. But I love the topics. I may have to DVR it.

That was the single most telling clip media has had so far.

discussion.

I wonder how much of our health care costs is attributable to overprescribing?

Interesting.

Dylan got on my nerves with his constant chatter when he was a guest on Morning Joke but so far, I have found his show to be interesting. Having Elliot Spitzer, who does know Wall Street and a good discussion on health care and drugs...well, who knew. I still think he will grate on the nerves after a while but maybe we might get a decent show with real info and discussion. I won't hold my breath...will just wait for Big Eddie, Keith, and Rachel...with a bit of Chris!

and (sigh) more michaeljacksontalk

spin re Sotomeyer

as per her actual record as centrist..

as in "...Shirley you jest."

Broadcast pros always pronounce it 'Shyoorlee' and he's not 'pretty' enough to be a complete airhead. Well, he's ALMOST pretty enough.

of the television age... Nice that he's getting that fact out there...

I think they were talking about Health Care Reform and Ed got kind of frustrated with Ratigan.

Here is an article about that appearance with a video of it:

What he belongs to, who he works for etc.. right up there on the screen.

edit.. I don't think I've ever seen it pointed up so clearly before. Knowing where someone's coming from speaks volumes when you listen to what he says....

and can hold his own with people of both political persuasions. He is hard to pin down, himself, which I personally like. I have heard him voice both liberal and conservative views, but on differing topics. Once on Morning Joe he said something like " I think people like me, (meaning wealthy) SHOULD pay more in taxes." I thought Joe S was going to fall off his seat in a swoon.

He had a messy on-air firing from CNBC, you can google it, when he dissed the CNBC head of programming on-air.

He is no corporate apologist for big business, which I also like. I have high hopes for this show being actually interesting and informative, something we haven't had for a long time

but I do kinda like him.
