The Times and MSNBC are joining forces for a new cable show. Today is the debut of The New York Times Special Primary Edition, a new political show hosted by John Harwood where Times-journos will handicap the election. From a Times memo, it appers these shows will appear as specials--that is, they won't run every week, but whenever MSNBC and the paper choose to do it.

Today's program will preview the Indiana and North Carolina primaries and Adam Nagourney, Pat Healy and Gail Collins are included guests.

Here's the memo:

MSNBC (Check your local listings)
Today at 2:00 p.m.

The New York Times Special Primary Edition, a new NYT/MSNBC political program hosted by John Harwood debuts today at 2 p.m. Guests include Adam Nagourney, Pat Healy, Jeff Zeleny, Gail Collins and other Times reporters

This is the first in a series of special programs featuring Times journalists which MSNBC hopes to broadcast throughout the rest of the political season. Segments will also run on NYTimes.com.

Gentlemen, I am getting so tired of hearing your newscasters, especially the female ones, rant and rave about how "older women" will vote for Hillary because she is a fighter and they identify with her. You need to know that there are many, many "white, older women" (I am 66) who do not identify with Hillary, and in fact find her repulsive because she is such a conniving opportunist who has no scruples, no principles, and who will do "anything" to reach her goals. I find her disgusting, and yes, I have had to "fight" all my life, but I have done so with honesty, fairness, and concern for my fellow man. If Hillary gets the nimination, and worse, if she should be elected President of this country, we will never get this country on track. The World, and especially the "Eastern" World will mock her and will not take anything she does seriously. That part of the world has not changed its attitude toward women, and especially American women.I will not vote democratic or republican, if Hillary is elected, I will vote Independent. I also find it disgusting how MSNBC is soooo pro Hillary. You are far from being honest and fair. As a news organization, you should be ashamed of yourslves.
