I had stopped cold turkey because he started having Lawrence O'donnell on again, but I haven't see O'Donnell on there since Kaplan left the network and Joe has been more reasonable. I kind of like Anderson Cooper, too. He goes off the reservation once in a while, but most of the time he seems to try very hard to play it right down the middle.
LOL...Lawry was off about a year after his meltdown and I was watching the night he came because Joe welcomed him back. I emailed Joe and said if I saw Lawry on again I would stop watching and a couple nights later he was back and I quit him. It was the straw that broke the back.
There is a message here for Fox in general, and for Sean Hannity in particular, and that is that people are NOT watching H&C because of Alan Colmes (this is true in my case since I simply cannot stand Colmes techniques of dropping some editorializing comment and then moving to a "question" for the guest without a chance for a response, and talking over when he doesn't want people to hear what's being said). People are surfing around to other channels and programs.I haven't watched in months. I can keep up with Hannity by means of his radio show.
