The thing I don't like about MSNBC.com's First Read is that there is too much information in each post. Not too much substance, per se, but too many different topics being covered. It's very un-blog-like. I don't mind the effort -- the NBC political team does do a good job -- but don't call it a blog if it isn't one.*

There is even a video segment. This blog is simply too over-produced.

* I now realize that there is no mention of "blog" on the First Read website, but it is published as a blog.

i agree. Actually, I was just thinking about that an hour ago while perusing their website. Although, I think Chuck Todd is probably the most knowledgable political reporter out there. I've found his information and predictions to be most effective and he seemingly doesn't fall into the so called "media- bullshit" segments where they analyze ridiculous and worthless info and try to make it into something real. He's good....he also looks like jimmy fallons (SNL) 2nd cousin or something......he just reminds me of him. think about that next time you see him on hardball, which will most likely be tonight.
