MSNBC Better without Imus

I must admit after watching MSNBC 's strategy for replacing Imus: they have filled his time with better programming. What they are doing is giving different people 2 and three day blocks. All of these people have the news chat and interviews that Imus had, but only one has wasted a bunch of time with comedy sketches like Imus did. And none of them resort to the way, way over the top comments that on Imus were sometimes funny, sometimes annoying, and usually lacking in any constructive contribution. I find myself watching that time slot now turning less often to the other morning news shows, which are all indistinguishable from each other.

Isn't it amazing how intelligent discourse can be so entertaining?

Now if radio would learn that intelligent music is more entertaining than stupid music and television learned that smart shows like The Sopranos are more interesting that Flavor of Love...

Have you been watching MSNBC in the mornings post-Imus?
