Williams was most likely groomed for succeeding Brokaw because he was more than willing to continue the Rove carrot and stick approach to White House access. And crafting the news to reflect that.

Then when polls refused to reflect that Guthrie was on again to sit at Big Brian's desk as the two gleefully reported how the races for the Senate were essentially lost already despite some of them being Democrat wins. You know. When the election happened. Again Guthrie and Williams gave figures as if they were facts that could not be changed and not just hypothetical. For an anchor of a major network to report on voting as if it was locked in weeks before an election should have earned him outcry and a toss and the media saw it as business as usual. For GE/Comcast/Universal/Owned by People Rich Enough not to pay taxes/NBC. Him being brought back without an ounce of remorse or awareness just shows me how firmly up the asses of his corporate overlords he has always been and how there is a quid pro quo for an empty suit with a penchant for self-promoting lies and a network that is embarrassed it let itself be swayed by pesky ad revenue and a need to carve out a profitable niche outside of Fox and CNN and let itself get a little too progressive to the point people were actually listening. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/46/#findComment-2688487

Once he has an idea in his head, it's unshakeable. I was glad to see an interview on Hardball with Evan McMullin tonight--he makes a much better impression than Gary Johnson or Trump--but nothing he said was going to change Chris's belief that the reason Mormons reject Trump is because they believe in humility and don't like braggarts. McMullin could talk all he wanted about rejecting the racial, religious and gender antagonisms of Trump's campaign and Chris just was hearing, "he's a braggart." Sometimes, when people are talking, I'm not sure he's even listening at all.

Speaking to host Steve Cochran, Todd was upfront with his feelings about what should happen to the charitable foundation if Hillary Clinton is elected. “Let me go to bottom line — there is no way under any circumstance the Clinton Foundation should be operating if she becomes president,” Todd told Cochran.

He also said that the FBI "came across a device" they had not reviewed previously, but it is not clear whose device, or what was on it. "There is absolutely no way this is going to be resolved in eleven days." So Trump can make it into whatever he wants for the next eleven days. Kacie Hunt on MSNBC "You can see where this is going.

ETA: Lawrence O'Donnell had actual breaking news (instead of the regular "everything is breaking news all the time" slogan of MSNBC) that a source says Huma Abedin would transfer State Department email to Yahoo accounts to print them out at home, because the State Department printers were so slow -- and then would deliver the paper documents to HRC. If anything, HRC seems even farther removed from this email scandal, because the emails were not even being forwarded to her. But I've been in high-level positions (not politics), and an executive with this kind of liability so close at hand generally cannot afford to have someone working closely who has the appearance of a compromised position. This has to be excruciating for them, as HRC and Abedin are so close. And Abedin is now not only betrayed by her husband's behavior, but now is the instrument of inadvertent betrayal to the person so closely linked to her.

I interviewed her. But what happened off-camera was almost more interesting. I don’t think of her as an extrovert, but when we were done, she met every single person on set, my entire staff, the whole floor, including the cleaning crew. Shook hands, took pictures. She was being kind to people who had an interest in her. But to see her do that, willingly, at the end of her 11th event of the day, that surprised me." About Trump: "I've only spoken to Trump on the phone. He was warm and charming. I enjoyed talking to him. But a funny thing happened when I was negotiating with his staff. They insisted that the conversation was off the record. I could never even refer to the fact that it had happened. But at the end of it, Mr. Trump said: 'Well, this has been a good conversation.

Ladyrain October 29, 2016 Share October 29, 2016 (edited) Is there a site on these boards specifically for politics? If so, could someone please direct me? It's probably right under my nose but I'm so fired up by this latest fricking "email scandal" that I can't even think straight. Because it's been discussed ad nauseum on MSNBC (which I love, by the way, but I mute the volume when they air tRump speeches) I think I can vent on the subject here while my hair's still on fire. Since I wasn't listening to this crap about Comey and the new emails, I just learned what this latest hubbub is all about. WTF?! This is what Hillary should say about that: "I am sick and tired of suffering the slings and arrows that should be directed at the philandering men in my life. I absolutely refuse to take the blame because my husband and my assistant's husband couldn't keep their peckers in their damn pants. What the fuck does this have to do with me???? And from this moment on I will not be discussing that subject any further. You wanna know about healthcare? Ask me. Foreign policy? Ask me. Supreme Court appointments? Ask me. If you want to know about wandering penises, go to the source. I'm done." * mic drop * Edited October 29, 2016 by Ladyrain 12 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/46/#findComment-2695925

Plus, Comey's ass is being dragged for defying the Attorney General, his boss, and violating protocol. Media Matters takes the media to task for shooting first and basically asking questions much later. Then to add insult to injury, they ran with Congressman Chaffetz' spin and the GOP talking points in its reporting. Simply shameful and despicable. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/46/#findComment-2696161
jjj October 29, 2016 Share October 29, 2016 (edited) I have not heard MSNBC walking much back -- but I still have not listened to AM Joy. I tried for several mid-day hours to get news, but kept getting stump speeches. Then, they showed the "old news from 2009, in case you missed it" and now the Clinton hour-long profile they broadcast earlier in the election season -- I suspect the Trump profile will follow. So, even though I have been trying to get the MSNBC take on the events of yesterday, they are not being helpful. I did see Katy Tur beat up the Trump communications director at one point. "How can Mr. Trump know these emails *clearly* signal problems when he has not seen them?" "Well, I did not talk to him" "You are not in a position to be able to say these are incriminating" "Well, Mr. Trump knows what is there" "How can you possibly know that, when you have not talked to him?" Then, Katy saying later goodbye and that "this has clearly been the most beautiful interview setting of the campaign" Edited October 29, 2016 by jjj 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3523-msnbc-the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-vaulted/page/46/#findComment-2696284

jjj October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 (edited) Noooo.... MSNBC and CNN are reporting that Donna Brazile did leak one or two debate questions to the HRC campaign and has resigned/was fired from CNN as a commentator. The irony is that HRC did not need to know this in advance, with all her prep. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/cnn-donna-brazile_us_58176f0ae4b0990edc325a78 But can Brazile continue to head the DNC with this blot on her record -- I mean continue until the election? Shoot, who needs enemies with your own party is tripping over itself like this? Bill Clinton on the plane with the AG (idiotic in terms of the optics), Weiner disaster (just an idiot), and this (unnecessary idiocy)...

MulletorHater October 31, 2016 Share October 31, 2016 Well, hopefully, in all the hysteria about the "Clinton emails," Senator Harry Reid's correspondence to J. Edgar Comey will be covered. Apparently, it gets worse. According to the Huffington Post, a source confirmed Senator Reid's allegation that there is, indeed, a double standard. So, in addition to violating protocol to influence an election, he was against the bureau signing off on a statement that Russia was meddling in our election. Come on, Chris (Hayes, that is), Rachel, Lawrence, et al. Please cover this in as much detail as you can tonight because this inquiring mind demands to know what's up.
