Russert's panel looks like a reunion of the CNN show that used to be one of the few political discussion shows on the air. Only Mark Shields is missing.
The CNN reunion angle also struck me and I was going to comment on it, but when I decided not to comment seperately about each show in my analysis post I just left that out.
I wonder if they'll comment on it? Probably not. It might make Eugene Robinson feel left out. I find it interesting that Novak, who is signed on with Fox now, is on the MTP roundtable. Fox isn't really utilizing him much.
