She allows them the forum to further expound on their reporting, then she puts everything in context. The only two news shows I watch are hers and Lawrence O'Donnell's. I also appreciate Joy Reid's interviewing skills.

I also like her relationship with NBC presidential historian Michael Beschloss, and with Rep. Adam Schiff.
