Overall solid moves for Women in media writ large. Excerpt from link below.

“And it wasn’t just primetime. Shows hosted by Nicolle Wallace, Ali Velshi and Stephanie Ruhle, Ari Melber, and Joy Reid all recorded big numbers in 2017.”

Well, that ought to get the MRA/4-Chan/Gamergate racist misogynists riled up.

She’ll be taking orders from Andy Lack. Like Lauer before her, she’s his puppet.

And isn’t Rachel Maddow’s show the most viewed cable show?

Makes sense. Apparently Today’s ratings went up as soon as Kotb started filling in for Lauer after he was fired.

So tell us Hoda, will you and our Virgin Sen Gillibrand be doing all future on-air castrating of male U.S. senators?

I believe you are right on this, I had heard rumblings but will research to validate.

This is from May (not really current) 2017.

More recent Dec 19 - according to this, validates your assumption (albeit tied with ‘insa-Hannity’)

Good, anything that rubs salt in Lauer’s eyes

The entire MSNBC line up has a huge audience and has since PuPPet took over, but you’re right about Maddow, and yet she remains “Gee whiz, I’m popular?” a lot of the time.

Now if Kotb would ask Ann Curry to return after she was disgracefully forced to resign by the predator. that would be a good thing.

That whole debacle remains so utterly bizarre. Her farewell on the couch was one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen on live television. A great journalist… Today is probably beneath her skill set to be honest.

Can they practice on you in the way putting on a condom is demonstrated using a banana?

Excellent choice. Hoda was a favorite and trusted local news anchor in New Orleans during the 1990s. I’m pleased to see her advance in national TV.

Well Hoda not so much but Kristen, with a little smile and a hair flicker, could probably cure my ED. Of course I’d prefer a younger and more attractive senator, but that’s just me.

ETA: Like you say, Ann Curry would do.

You have no idea how close your remarks border on sexual harassment but luckily no one cares most of all moderators.

Nothing. You could say nothing, that is always an option.

I’ve read about you. You are that “Four legs good…” fellow.

This is for you. Try to minimize your contact with the humans.

I have to learn not to take people like you seriously.
