HCF!!

Jen Psaki’s new show is evolving into something super-great, in my humble opinion. Reasons: 1) Insightful stories that include clarifying background details (similar to Rachel Maddow); 2) Knowledgeable, unexpected guests; and, 3) Overall excellent pacing of each story segment within a given show - reflects well on Jen Psaki and her staff!!
She is fantastic!

I’m a big MSNBC fan, but decided I don’t want to hear Jen answer questions given to administration spokespeople without running the spokespeople’s comments first. I don’t want to be fed as if I am unable to judge government lies myself. Will delete Jen from podcast list.
