Did MSNBC listen to any Rita Cosby tapes before they hired her?

[59millionmorons]

She has the most annoying scratchy, flem filled voice I have ever heard. I can't even listen to her. I keep waiting for a hocker to come flying out of her mouth and onto the camera lens.


YUCK

[heidiho]

1. No shit! She is terrible!

The fact that she comes from Fox News says it all.

5. from fux huh!

no wonder I had an instant aversion 2 her.

[back2basics909]

2. Ha ha!

I thought the same thing. Very weird voice, makes me want to clear MY throat just listening to her.

3. Her voice is annoying...but...

...not as annoying as the subject matter of her show. Do we really need to see Michael Jackson jurors. What next...an interview with the runaway bride as she's mowing. Then maybe there's something about the missing Aruba girl we haven't seen. Sheesh!

4. Thank you!

I didn't watch Monday night, but I left the TV on after Countdown and went to check email in another room. Her voice drove me nuts!!!

[Kerrytravelers]

6. Of course not. She's from faux, and they're trying to be faux II.

Why bother listening?

[LSparkle]

7. She has a worse rasp than Demi Moore used to before she ...

gave up coke.

[annabanana]

8. she sounds like a cartoon chipmunk...n/t

[danalytical]

9. Seriously

I have been hating that womans irritating voice ever since I first saw her. What is it with these stupid chick lawyer shows anyway? They all suck.

Greta Van blah blah show-- SUCKS
Nancy Grace Show --- SUCKS
Kermit the flem show --- SUCKS
Debra Norville show--- SUCKED
Paula Zahn--- SUCKS

Why do they keep up with this garbage. It's like an hour of gossip.

10. I Think She Had a Bug Last Night, Plus the Tension

of leaving Faux and starting-up somewhere else. Plus the tension between KAPLAN and OLBERMANN. I didn't see the debut Monday night, but because of the KAPLAN blow-up, last night when it was time for Keith to do the transition to her, there was a pause from him, and the camera was on her and she had this runaway-bride-bugeyed look of panic. Then Keith did his normal professional job and she looked like shit picking up her own pieces. She's tabloidy, not (I think) that much of a wingnut.

11. I too cant stand that ugly blond bitch

she sucked at faux news and she'll suck even more on MSNBC...By the way where's tucker???

[danalytical]

12. He's on at 11 now

They bumped him. His show isn't all that bad really. He at least allows the other point of view to be heard respectfully. He's not a W guy, more of a solid old school Republican.

[DemInDistress]

14. I would watch tucker

but John Stewart is on at 11pm..and soon after Jay Leno...

[danalytical]

15. horrible time slot

for Tucker, it was a bad move for MSNBC. The Rita Cosby show is a joke, and although The Situation with TC isn't very good either; it's a mountain higher than that turd. There is no way The Situation can compete with the Daily Show.

13. It doesn't matter to me what a news anchor sounds like

Or what they look like either for that matter.

I care about what they talk about on the show - what kind of "news" they choose to cover.

After Olberman the other night I saw the very beginning of her first show. What did she choose to cover as the big topic of her premier show on MSNBC? The Michael Fucking Jackson trial and what a couple of the jury members had to say!

Rita - nobody gives a shit about that!

I don't think her show will last very long.
