"With Dave and Dori you get one individual who leans a...

MSNBC Disconnects "Connected" MSNBC's "Connected: Coast to Coast" died a quiet death on Friday. Monica Crowley and Ron Reagan co-hosted their last show at noon. "Thanks to all of you who have written to say kind things," senior producer Tony Maciulis blogged on MSNBC.com. "We've spent the last year bringing you quality programming -- the kind of political debate show that you don't really see anymore."
