Not a huge fan of any cable news hosts. The majority of them are akin to the editorial page of the old newspaper. That said, you do get a lot more and quicker reporting of major stories on cable news.
If I had to pick one that I really like, it would be Smerconish. He is not on a lot, and I think he only has one hour long show on CNN Saturday mornings.
I don't agree with him on everything but that is not the point. He discusses issues, with factual details, and presents his viewpoints. He responds in real time (emails sent in during show) before the show ends.
He is opinionated but factual, open minded, and doesn't always fall on one side of the aisle.
Of course his opinions are not for everyone, but it is still a good show. There should be much more like it on cable, rather than the other 98% propaganda shows and echo chambers.

That said, Alex Wagner has done well filling in that 9:00 p.m. time slot. I also watch Morning Joe regularly, especially after Trump was elected because I identify with Joe - a lifelong conservative who hates Trump's guts and wants nothing to do with what passes as a conservative or a Republican these days.
