Connected is Not

I tuned in to the new MSNBC show Connected-Coast to Coast with Ron Reagan and Monica Crowley. Monica Crowley is good (and pretty hot if I may say) but Reagan is irritating and the dude has bigger canine teeth that any of my three dogs.

The show is pushed as "connected" with the blogger/internet generation and they try to be as hip as an MSNBC show can be. They even have a segment on what bloggers are posting with Joe Trippi, the former guru of Howie Dean's campaign. Why this guy was even involved is anyone's guess but hey, that's why MSNBC is in last place.

What blogs do you think Trippi featured? Wait for it...Atrios, Seeing the Forest and their post concerning Gannon, and this MSNBC train crash. All liberal blogs. What of Glenn, Tim Blair, LGF, Michelle Malkin, Captain Ed, Stephen Green... and the list goes on. Could they not have featured one center-right or right-wing blog? And why focus on a post written in a blog that is not even that good about the Gannon/Guckert non-story?

In defense of Monica Crowley, she has a definite future, as for Reagan; he is not even remotely charismatic and mostly is unlistenable.

Again, that is why MSNBC is in last place and sinking. Chris Matthews, Keith Olberman and now Tucker Carlson waiting in the wings; MSNBC as a network makes one cringe at least three times per hour*.
