Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes are two people I really believed in as true progressives, and still do, personally.

I knew the MSNBC Powers That Be wouldn't let them cover EVERYTHING, but they seem to be clamping down even harder

I love Rachel, especially, and have had her DVR'd for years, but I'm finding it harder and harder to stay interested in her shows

as they seem to cover Social Issues ONLY, as do those of Chris Hayes...What makes it worse is that they frequently

overlap...I really do NOT need to hear about an "event" (presidential press conference, etc.) all night on three or four different shows!

I think Ed Schultz may be the only MSNBC anchor (and he, of course, has been cut to two weekend shows a week)

who is "allowed" to speak on Economic/Union/Alec and Money issues....I just saw his show tonight and though it didn't

cover ALEC, it may tomorrow and it did feature Union issues, the Koch Brothers Secret Annual Meeting in New Mexico and OTHER

economic issues like the nation-wide moves to CUT the pensions of firefighters and police officers who have invested

in them for THIRTY Years, while giving Wall Street Free Reign.
