She has covered the White House before, and Congress in depth (she used to work for Roll Call), and the wikis says she has a masters in international affairs from Georgetown. Her work on MSNBC has been uneven, and her presence on the Chris Matthews Show embarrasing (though I view that as more of a hostage situation). The Chief White House Correspondent is a glamor spot, as they are probably the most visible presence on the network newscasts after the anchor, though it is well known they don't do a lot of actual reporting. But in election years when the incumbent is running, this person is also going to be the main reporter on their campaign, which should be a real job come next fall. I would not put her on the opposite end of the spectrum fro Pelley, but she is more in the middle. It will be interesting to see what she does with the job. -- TV or Not TV ....
