I have to say I don't know much about what Hugh is like on his radio show, but I did like him when he was featured on the network for the lead up to the election. I don't think I will mind him too much.
As for MSNBC's trends, I wouldn't mind bringing in all these conservatives (because the people they are bringing in seem to be quality people, like Greta), except they are becoming so weak on the progressive end. The only real progressive star on the network is Rachel. Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell were like children going up against O'Reilly in the 8 o clock spot. So yeah give some spots to some conservatives, but at least bring in some bulldogs to give the progressives a fighting chance in cable news.
Joy Reid would solve that problem IMO. Can Chris and Larry, bring in Nicole and Joy. I like the Brian Williams thing at 11, though I only get the watch MSNBC every few weeks or so.
