Alert: I am not going to talk politics during this review. You must already know whether you agree or disagree with what they report, so let's set that aside. This is one of my two favorite programs in MSNBC's lineup. And let's face it; you need to have favorites because to a large extent, all of the programs deal with the same stories, just with different guests and varying angles. I like Willie Geist, Jonathan Lamire and Mike Barnacle, who are regulars on the show. Joe and Mika are a good hosting team. They are deeply empathetic but still pull no punches. Sometimes Joe goes on for a bit and Mika has to rein him in. She is also his wife, so I guess it is a full-time job for her! When I miss the show or take a break from it, I can still get the highlights from YouTube or via podcast.
