Recently Joe "One Show" Rogan dissected movies and comedy with Quentin Tarantino, music and life philosophies with Jakob Dylan, and Cuba and Palestine with Abby Martin in three-hour-long shows.

In contrast, Ryan Grim exemplifies dilution.

IMO, the Beltway insider peddles the-post-Greenwald Intercept's "Don't force the vote" party line. And he drones about red herrings, like today's Rising guest Tara Reid's ancient encounter with Joe Biden that once upon a time sidetracked the old Rising from relevant election coverage.

IMO, Rising should offer Tim Dillon its progressive host spot to provide viewers with thoughtful opinions and a few smiles to begin their day.
