What I've seen she looks like a great asset for MSBC. However, I thik I'd take Olbermann's rather acid comment that nobody ever noticed when all the channels were filled with conservative commentators.

It was noted that on the various mainstream channels  the commentating guests at the democratic convention this year were half democratic and half republican, but at the republican convention all of the guests were republican.

And of course, half the time on the sunday talk shows the lone democrat on the stacked panel will be some republican-lite blue dog or lieberman.

But MSNBC has two hosts who are not rabidly right wing and suddenly that's a problem for their balanced output.

MSNBC is, I assure you, just fine with Olbermann and Rachel.  Their ratings are sky-high.  Keith is beating O'Lielly with some consistently on the key demographic (25-54 years of age).  And Rachel isn't far behind him.

I like Rachel, but her concern-trolling is wearing on me.

Olbermann and Rachel

More anecdotal evidence for my observation that men are more likely to be referred to by their last name and women by their first name.

What that means, I don't know.

According to the article it was Olbermann who promoted her. The execs were screaming blue murder privately and initially. But I guess they've changed their tune now.
