And even with the short time he has had this week because of the Supreme Court Nomination Process, Morning Meeting has handled it well. I like how Dylan doesn't have to demean his guest or co-host in order to make his self feel smart which is the opposite of what Joe Scarborough does on Morning Joe. And I also like the diversity of the panel. • Contessa is the New Mika (but Contessa is actually respected for her opinions and not belittled or minimized) • Jonathan Capeheart can actually voice an opinion without being interrupted • Stephen A Smith (Don’t like him all the time but he does bring some flavor to the show, I was especially impressed on the conversation that took place on Marriage/and Cheating, and his perspective on how the other woman thinks she is now the wife and the wife is actually the other woman; very insight and as I thought about it so very true) • Elliot, well not my choice (a little too intense and that’s what we have Dylan for) • And there have been other guests that I have been impressed with and that’s because Dylan actually allows for actual conversation. Now I don't know if I would call Dylan Ratigan the Larry King on Steroids but more like a highly intense Oprah who’s open for a broad range of conversations; Dylan is intellectually secure and as I stated above he doesn’t need to demean or belittle his guest s or panel to make his self feel smart like the show that is before him. When you are secure in your intelligence you should never be afraid of someone else’s perspective and if you looked and watched Oprah this is the type of quality you would find and I see that a lot with Dylan Rattigan but just “A LOT” more intense.
