MSNOW - are you listening?

Leave Vaughan Hillyard at the table. Vaughan Hillyard has the voice for the host/anchor role. He has the ability to drive a hard discussion about critical issues. He is smart and sharp and focused and knows how to frame the question.

He is on the Weeknight tonight, and has filled in previously. Keep him! He makes the show much better.

The show is so much better without Symone. She is a disruption. She lacks the professionalism of Vaughan Hillyard. When Symone is not there, Alicia Menendez gets to be heard more. Alicia is sharp and focused and knows her stuff.

Tonight's show is getting more done. It is a whole new level of communication, which will never happen with Symone there.

Jackie Allemany was in for her - It was watchable. Completely different show.

When I have it on and Symone is there, I inevitably end up yelling at the tv - shut up Symone!
