stormy February 2, 2017 Share February 2, 2017 Why is it that MSNBC feels compelled to show trump on a split screen constantly? Do they think we will forget what he looks like? It's annoying to have Chris Hayes do his great interviews every night with his guests and have his face or the guest's face blotted out by trump, which no one cares to see. Do it on Rachel's show. She sits in front of the camera every night talking with hardly a guest. 10 Link to comment

bad things are bad February 2, 2017 Share February 2, 2017 Quote Yesterday one of the afternoon shows had Greta on as a legal expert because of the court nomination. I hope they don't start using her for that--I much prefer Ari Melber to be their expert on those things. I don't know what network or show this happened on, as my husband is the one who saw it, but he said Jennifer Granholm was on a show with a right wing guy debating the constitutionality of the immigrant ban. He kept trying to tell her why she was wrong about it and she said something like "I'm a lawyer. My specialty is constitutional law. What are YOUR credentials?" Granholm would be great to have around. She's knows her stuff and when she's not giving a big speech, she's OK to listen to. 8 Link to comment
car54 February 2, 2017 Share February 2, 2017 I may have missed something but I think it was NBC that cancelled her hour of the Today Show, but I have not seen anything about MSNBC taking her hour away--I think leaving was her decision because her contract was up and over the NBC cancellation, but I got the impression she would have been able to keep her show on MSNBC and her show on ID. I hope that means she has somewhere good to go next. Link to comment

topanga February 2, 2017 Share February 2, 2017 This is from the Website Page Six: Tamron Hall will be leaving NBC News and MSNBC, Page Six has learned. An email went out internally to NBC announcing the news. [and in a separate article] NBC is canceling the third hour of “Today” to make way for new star Megyn Kelly, sources exclusively confirm to Page Six. We’re told Kelly will take over either the 9 a.m. hour from Tamron Hall and Al Roker or will replace Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford. “If she takes over Hoda and Kathie Lee’s 10 a.m. hour, they will move to the 9 a.m. hour,” an insider said. She will continue to host “Deadline: Crime” on Investigation Discovery. 3 Link to comment

madfortv February 4, 2017 Share February 4, 2017 We watched Chris Mathew's show the other night. It was a terrible show. It was advertised as a town hall. He started off with Kellyanne Conway. UGH! His interview with her went on and on. I expected him to talk to her for a few minutes and then switch to the forum that was advertised. It was the interview where she gave "alternative facts" about Bowling Green. I haven't been watching his show that much lately. This experience won't make me want to tune in again soon. I have a very negative reaction to seeing her on TV and usually change the channel before I even hear her say one word or don't even watch the show if I know she is going to be on it. It is my own fault but I feel somewhat tricked. I should have followed my normal policy and immediately changed the channel. 9 Link to comment

suomi February 6, 2017 Share February 6, 2017 (edited) Today on MTP Chuck Todd quoted the following paragraphs from a David Brooks column in the NYT on January 31. I forget who he was speaking with, maybe Mike Pence. What Chuck received in reply was nothing, followed by nonsense. Quote Many Republican members of Congress have made a Faustian bargain with Donald Trump. They don’t particularly admire him as a man, they don’t trust him as an administrator, they don’t agree with him on major issues, but they respect the grip he has on their voters, they hope he’ll sign their legislation and they certainly don’t want to be seen siding with the inflamed progressives or the hyperventilating media. Their position was at least comprehensible: How many times in a lifetime does your party control all levers of power? When that happens you’re willing to tolerate a little Trumpian circus behavior in order to get things done. But if the last 10 days have made anything clear, it’s this: The Republican Fausts are in an untenable position. The deal they’ve struck with the devil comes at too high a price. It really will cost them their soul. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/31/opinion/the-republican-fausts.html?_r=0 Edited February 6, 2017 by suomi 4 Link to comment

alias1 February 7, 2017 Share February 7, 2017 (edited) I didn't see the actual Chris Matthews/Kellyanne segment, but there was as brief clip somewhere and it looked like he didn't even challenge her when she mentioned the Bowling Green Massacre. Did he not know that NOTHING happened in Bowling Green? If he didn't know anything about it, I wish he would have said, can you explain what the Bowling Green massacre is. I'm sure she would have deflected the question, but she could not have said something actually happened in Bowling Green, just that some suspected terrorists were from Bowling Green, and their terrorist acts were committed overseas. A far cry from a massacre in Bowling Green. They just keep letting her get away with these absurd statements, and she is wondering why no journalists have been fired.

And yes, it would have been amazing to have him cut her down right there on the spot instead of giving her time to plan her fake news response. Speaking of cutting, MSNBC seriously needs to cut the goddamn "Breaking News" cut-ins. It drove me nuts when they did it all through the campaign every time someone made a speech--as if that was news at all. Tonight it wasn't enough to banner the Devos confirmation as breaking news; they had to front it with a lead-in banner. The confirmation was hours ago. It's news, but it's not breaking news, and they didn't break it. Do they not get that they're numbing their viewers' ability to discern actual hot-off-the-presses news? 8 Link to comment

That was Hatch's slogan during his first election campaign in '76 and he defeated the 18-year incumbent. Now beginning his 41st year in the Senate, our boy Orrin is the longest-serving Republican Senator in US history. I have made conscious and strong effort over the years to refrain from getting within reach or speaking distance of Orrin Hatch during local photo ops, because I knew I might walk away in handcuffs. 8 Link to comment
