Best current MSNBC News commentator

For a long while, I thought that of Rachel Maddow until she switched from being a 5 star Jouralist into being a Carny Preacher.

I hope MSNBC keeps Jake Tapper for a long while and releases Rachel from her latest contract renewal asap as it's become obvious that she's no longer interested in being a True journalist.
