I was turned off by AC for a long time. Nothing rude but his thing during the Gulf spill. So it was just a 'noth of that' thing. But it seems since his time in Egypt, ya, that he's really turned it up. He has some excellent instincts. And he seems to be reaching out for a broader variety of voices. I don't have cable now, but I'll start checking cnn site for what he's up to. Same. I liked him at first and then started to get turned off. Egypt is what turned me. Specifically, when he and his crew got attacked by Egyptians in the streets. The man was getting beat on but his major concern was his crew and their well being. I was impressed.......even more so because he's a Vanderbilt and could be having a couchy life style in NYC without putting himself in danger. And yeah, now, he seems more aggressive......more sure of himself. And Maddow brings some great stuff. Overall, she's a good voice to have out there. I hope she doesn't respond ala Joan Walsh and shut down the people who are trying to address these things with her. Yeah, I really like her a lot.......I appreciate her honesty and insights. I also liked that she hadn't turned on Obama but according to what you have said, that may be changing.
