Mumbles October 5, 2016 Share October 5, 2016 I really wish they would move on from James Carville as their sole Democratic "strategist". He's a good sound bite, but his best days were last century. Forget social media, people were just trying to figure out what the internet was. (And believe it or not, the Dems have won some elections without him.) Agreed. He never did another US campaign after the 1992 campaign. He occasionally dabbled in foreign elections in which he, or any American, has no business meddling. He wouldn't know the first thing on how a campaign is run now. I never understood the media's delight in that phony ragin' Cajun stuff or that demented Punch and Judy act he has with his equally horrific wife. Quote The best part of the pre debate show was Nicole Wallace telling the story of Palin's debate line, "Can I call you Joe?" She said people congratulated her on her strategy. But the team didn't tell Palin to do that. Palin kept calling Joe "O'Biden" so she just asked him that on the spur of the moment. Steve Schmidt bragged about this this am on Morning Joe. It's appalling to think these people are bragging and laughing about the dangerously ignorant candidate they tried to make one heartbeat away from the presidency. Tee hee hee. (And, while she isn't a particularly sympathetic person, it's a bit mean to give up Palin. She was their client of sorts.) 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2625739

One of the brightest minds in the political world, Keith Olbermann, reduced to youtube because MSNBC has to keep on the irrelevant talkers. ...MSNBC has decided to cede their network to the likes of Joe Scarborough. 'For years, Scarborough complained—bitterly in private and not even all that cryptically in public—about the network's lefty slant. But since Andy Lack retook the reins of NBC News last year, he's demoted or jettisoned many of the more ideologically driven MSNBC hosts—from Al Sharpton to Ed Schultz to Melissa Harris-Perry. At the same time, Lack has elevated hosts like Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, and Halperin and John Heilemann—or, as Brzezinski described them to me, "our people." Scarborough appreciates the changes: "I couldn't have said this for a very long time, but I like the people who are on MSNBC. I like the shows that are on MSNBC."' ^^^ From recent GQ article. Ugh.

pivot October 11, 2016 Share October 11, 2016 MSNBC used to be such a great network. But, they've replaced almost all the intelligent talking heads with dumb and/or old white men who are too out of touch to know what is going on. Watching Brian Williams, Chris Matthews and Hugh Hewitt try to spin Donald's debate performance as a win on Sunday and minimize Trump bragging about sexual assault made me insanely angry. The lack of diversity in the panels/hosts is really hurting MSNBC this cycle because they are constantly surprised by what moves #s against Trump. Women knew that the tape would be devastating to him this weekend but 75% of talking heads were men talking about the tape on MSNBC. It really hurts their coverage. I wish there was an alternative but Fox is crazy and CNN has a million people screaming at each all the time. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2641426

On any other channel, these stories would have gotten a passing glance, but Ed was like a dog with a bone and kept hammering them home. He also broke the story about the Baine Capital business in Illinois that was moving jobs overseas, after the American employees trained their foreign counterparts and were fired. That this happened weeks before the election was simply astounding. The optics! Another David Pakman fan here! I discovered him on ROF a year ago and I love his commentary.

tenativelyyours October 11, 2016 Share October 11, 2016 Yeah, if the sexual assaulter actually wins, Rachel and a well stocked wine cellar are pretty much what I desperately plan on getting me through the next four years. That and the prospects of a job in Berlin that will keep me there more than half the year. It's that or an office in China. And it pains me horribly to say even that prospect does not weigh as heavily as it did a year ago when the shift in offices was first talked about. I wonder if the conservative suits at Comcast/NBC sat Williams down and explained how his lying ass could sit in a real journalist's seat on teevee again as long as he realized what a little stoolie he is for them? His Mansplaining how the Inverted Orange Scrotum rose above the petty chatter of his "locker room talk" was a touch surprising even for Lyin' Brian. I didn't know maximum security prisons for sexual offenders had locker rooms? Aren't those just called cells Lyin' Brian? When even Neil Cavuto on Fox is giving Delusional Ben Carson the incredulous "what kind of locker rooms do you hang out in" and your sitting there trying to say he won the debate in part because he locker room talked his way past it and made the issue "less substantive" (I think that was what Williams said, once again breaking out his "How to Impress Others with Your Use of Big Words and Stuff" book) than the talking point press tried to make it (and really? Talking points are what get you and that empty suit you call a television presence to the next commercial break).

Hope you feel better! 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2645019

According to this, she left to join The Atlantic magazine as senior editor in April. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2645246

Yes, I knew she was fulltime at The Atlantic, but she was definitely co-hosting today! Just checking on whether I missed her return earlier. They implied she would be back tomorrow. I hardly ever get to see WADR, so she could have been there for months without my knowing.

car54 October 13, 2016 Share October 13, 2016 Alex has also been on The Circus with Halperin and Heileman--I think she is just someone they like and have on sometimes--I enjoy her, I wish she was on more often--she has really good chemistry with John. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2645333

pivot October 13, 2016 Share October 13, 2016 I give MSNBC a lot of crap for their pushing out most of the women and minorities from their shows but Lawrence O'Donnell deserves some serious kudos for his all-women panels during the Trump sexual assault scandals. Seriously impressed to see on multiple nights all-women panels. The conversations are much different on his show than any other because of it. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2645715
car54 October 13, 2016 Share October 13, 2016 For some reason, Lawrence gets a much better discussion going --some of the people are on other shows but they usually are better on his show--he has a real gift for framing a good conversation. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2645839

Now I change the channel whenever she is on a show. I can't stand her. After watching the last debate, I was surprised at the initial discussion on MSNBC. I wondered if they watched the same debate. James Carville and Joy Reid brought some sanity to the discussion. The New Yorker recently had a Kellyanne explainer: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/17/kellyanne-conways-political-machinations 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2646148

Jodio October 13, 2016 Share October 13, 2016 So, Brian Williams just reminded viewers that all of these allegations of sexual harassment/assault against Trump are of a "he said/she said" nature.

roughing it October 13, 2016 Share October 13, 2016 (edited) I was watching Stephanie Ruhle this morning, and she was discussing who was Trump's base - those who are anti-women and anti-African American. I disagree. From my neck of the woods, Trump's base is strictly and vehemently anti-Hillary - the ones who chant "lock her up", they call her Killary, can't stop ranting about Benghazi, emails, etc... They are raging with hatred. These people would vote for Charles Manson over Hillary. That's who Trump's followers are. Edited October 13, 2016 by roughing it changed "talking" to "ranting" - it fits better 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/43/#findComment-2647054
