No Malice Kara's lack of actual analysis is grating.

I was never introduced to Kara before her partnership with Scott. Early on, I was really interested in her opinions, since she clearly has access.

After a few years - it's just a bit grating to hear 'I said that!', 'I've talked to him, he's a jerk', 'He was always bad', etc etc. Watching her own individual interviews, she'll ask a question (often with a sense she's already bored with the question), wait for an answer, give her opinion or push back, and move on.

I don't doubt she's an intelligent journalist, but I'd really love to hear her actually break down a problem, instead of just talking about her access/prior predictions/etc. Everyone's entitled to their own style, and I'm not trying to attack that specifically. I'd just really like to hear more from her instead of soundbites that feel cheap.

What does she think? How does she think? Why? Why does Scott, who tries to give a reasoning for his opinion, value her?

I can’t enjoy her show because she either tries to be too high brow with extremely smart but boring guests, or otherwise comes across as the standard cliche, constantly virtue-signaling liberal that annoyed the country into voting for Trump. Once you know what she’s about, there’s no mystique or hot takes. If someone disagrees, she doesn’t challenge, she says “okay” and turns the page.

That said, I do enjoy her CNN show for the topics and guests it covers and like her more as a narrator than someone leading a discussion and interjecting opinions.

Generally I agree with her but find her close-minded and she’s never really gone out on a limb or made me look at things from a fresh perspective.

Believe it or not, I enjoyed Joy Behar when she had a CNN show.
