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.

During the election she was very anti-Harris campaign and was very vocal in expressing dissent and would often state on air that Harris didn't have a message or a platform. In the wake of recent events, even though she's pro-Swamp-Thing, she now seems disappointed and is clearly one of the-lion-ate-my-face/FAAFO types.

Jen Psaki i is nothing like Katie Tur. A two hour show was a mistake, and I turn the TV off when she comes on. She's comes across like a teen brat who is disinterested in her job. Very non-professional.

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.

…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)
