I guess I am engaging as a budinski fan of Nicolle’s. Oh well, she’s got the job either way. 😉

You may have a point. But as nicely as she uses the language, she needs to project it with the appropriate energy to get it across to the audience as well as most of her panelists do. I am not a professional speech therapist, but she also needs to open her mouth more to enunciate words with clarity.

An observation: as someone with more time on my hands now that I am partly retired, I’m a regular viewer of Nicole Wallace on MSNBC, and a fan, for the most part. But I have noticed her delivery has become more monotone. As a 47 year bcaster, I think someone needs to coach her on energy and diction.

From medicine to mysticism: the radicalization of Florida's top doc Joseph Ladapo was a normie—until he met his wife and a guru into levitating and communicating with spirits.

It's the ultimate existential nightmare from which we are not immune. A president has mere minutes to make an impossible decision, horrific for ANY U.S. president. Now, picture if this were to happen with THIS president we have in place: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUiK...

Diane Keaton, 'Annie Hall' and "The Godfather' Actress, Dead at 79 Oscar winner also starred in Reds, Father of the Bride, The First Wives Club, and Woody Allen movies BY EMILY ZEMLER OCTOBER 11 AT 11:06 AM

What a loss. I absolutely adore Diane Keaton as an actor. She could star in a terrible movie and elevate it by her performance.

I’d prefer to remember her for her work — not her undying support of Woody Allen irl, or the way she basically called his victims liars. That side of her was ghastly.

In the real working world, they’d all be fired. Instead, they’re not only still “collecting checks”, they’re trying to deny payment to furloughed federal workers.
