This is fantastic news. I've been very impressed with Ashleigh Banfield's uncanny ability to be at wherever Ground Zero happens to be. Her reports from Afghanistan have been incredible. If she's at MSNBC, it's the right place for Alan.
As for the Keyes detractors, ignore them. On TV, Alan will have a higher place from which to shine his beacon of truth and logic. Like moths to a porch light, the viewers will come. People are hungry for balance in the media. That's why Bernard Goldberg's Bias has been Amazon's #1 selling book for weeks.
MSNBC has been fabulous. We've all got very high hopes! Spread the word!
