Turley is one of the best legal commentators in the country and it would be good to see more of him.
The Five is now an unwatchable mess. Lately, we have often gone to Newsmax which has a surprisingly good evening line up (Finnerty, Kelly, et al).
The over-talking is beyond annoying, Tarkovsky has ever been a screachy (autistic spectrum) yenta, Perino is ok. The ‘regular guys’ truck and trade in school boy puerilities and Watters (and Gutfeld) has gotten well, as you say, ‘smug’.
Turley, Kennedy, Ford, maybe Dana and some good guest would be a nice line-up.
Just setting aside her liberal views Jessica Tarlov has the highest, scratchiest views ever. The ARROGANCE and the juvenile immaturity of Watters and Guttfeld is off the boards. (Although Gutfeld's evening program is pretty good.) Jennine has a demeanor that is so damned strong that she is on unwatchable too. (Even though I would agree with most of her points, she is overbearing to the point of near-masculinity and is great on an interview during daytime) .I agree with you on Dana, Kennedy, and Ford -- actually they should do it themselves and call it "The Three".
Brett Baer's panels are enlightening and much better. Thanks for the referral and I'll give Newsmax a try at that hour. Maybe I'll stop yelling at the tv.
