Gretchen, i welcome you

dd, LBJ used to say I’d rather win a convert than an argument. The best example of that is Ariana Huffington, won over by no less than Al Franken.

But converting three Philistines might be something of a hat trick.

While I admire Carlson’s grit and integrity in suing Ailes, that does not negate the fact that she was a Fox propagandist par excellence.

Same here, Ellen, and like that fact that she wants to set up a foundation to empower women in the workplace.

I am surprised about her wanting to get back into cable news though. Just last month, she said (with regards to the foundation), "My focus right now is taking on this mission — changing that arena first”. And, last October, she said that that “she finally has some time to do things like craft and attend her son and daughter’s sports games now that is not working for the cable news network, while also volunteering for an animal shelter.”

But, despite having recently said these things, she now wants back on the teevee? Looks like someone is craving the attention that even the small screen brings her. If MSNBC is really considering hiring her, I think it’s a sad development. When it comes to her part in the cable news world, as Ellen pointed out, Gretchen has been a propagandist for the right-wing (Fox “news”) agenda. However, a few years ago, she actually had the nerve to say this about her role on F&F: "I sit in the middle for a reason. I feed both sides of issues and I really truly believe in the fair and balanced aspect of what we do on a daily basis.” Bwaaah!

NBC/MSNBC added Megyn and Greta (ugh on both hires) and they don’t need to add Gretchen who can’t even be honest about what she did on F&F.

If they hire O Rielly or Hannity IF they ever leave FOX, Game Over!

I’ve watched Greta’s show a few times and actually think she’s doing a good job, although the ratings aren’t going to improve no matter who is in there, with CNN and MSNBC splitting that type of viewer. I don’t see any reason to hire Carlson. None.

As an MSNBC watcher, I do appreciate when they hire a relatively thoughtful conservative to contribute to discussions. Examples – Michael Steele, Steve Schmidt, Nicolle Wallace and Rick Tyler. Carlson’s time spent on the Fox & Friends curvy couch destroyed any claim that she would have as to being thoughtful and well reasoned. Both MSMBC and CNN covet Fox’s higher ratings and sense an opening.

“While I admire Carlson’s grit and integrity in suing Ailes, that does not negate the fact that she was a Fox propagandist par excellence.”

Yep. I agree, Ellen.
But I stopped watching MSNBC when Olbermann left.
Keep me posted, Ellen!!

While it is satisfying to watch Faux dissolve, I do not want to see all the rats fleeing run into the house that Keith built.

Whomever thinks MSNBC is “liberal” is an idiot. They, like FOX, are in it for the ratings and money. If Wretched gets them an audience and numbers, they’ll take her, never mind her past or “qualifications”.
