Did MSNBC Give Katy Tur A 2 Hour Show

I was taking a break from the heat and turned on MSNBC and Katy Tur was on and I then realized she has a 2 hour time slot. I watched her for 15 minutes and came to the conclusion that she doesn't even bother to prepare for her show. She had good guests on, Leon Panetta for one, and she did nothing but ask him childish questions. She didn't know what a sleeper cell was, so then I turned her off.

Oh and a couple of days ago I watched Jen Psaki and she is just like Katy Tur.

6. Have to disagree. Jen Psaki is very good, very knowledgeable.

I only watched her 2 or 3 times on MSNBC and every time she was very poor at asking follow up questions.

I see her ratings aren't that great either, of course replacing Rachel is no easy task.

10. Jen Psaki is brilliant, and highly knowledgable. Incidentally, one interview technique is to ask ...

…something you already know the answer to, so that the interviewee gets the chance to explain to the audience what the facts are. (in re Katy and others)
