Here is my pet peeve. The 3:00pm hour of MSNBC programming is held down by Martin Bashir. He is a British citizen of Indian heritage. I don't honestly know where they got this guy from - but my initial impression was that he was a serious journalist.
It seems now it was just the accent that was giving him a somewhat distinguished air - because what, over the past year, has Martin Bashir been most visible for? Well, he was all over the Royal Wedding. Seriously! And I could not have cared less about that. Now, this week, Martin Bashir is MSNBC's go-to guy on the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. More tabloid rubbish if you ask me.
MSBNC might as well bring out Tom Brokaw to talk about Kim Kardashian's divorce! It's that jarring. So stop it, MSNBC. If you're going to have a host doing tabloid fluff, you'd might as well go the FoxNews route and have it done by eye-candy like Megyn Kelly. (I might remind you that do have Contessa Brewer "in the fold" - as Mel Kiper, Jr. would say).
(CORRECTION: Contessa Brewer left MSNBC! Who knew?)
