MSNBC- Part 57

Joy’s fuckery is coming up…

Whatever happened to Melissa Harris Perry ?

I can't take Lawrence O'DONNELL anymore. The way he torments all the 9 pm hosts for a full 10 minutes into his show. Alex visibly hates it and tries to wrap it up, but he can't catch a fuckibg hint. It's embarrassing and cringe.

Not me

Me

Me

Me

No idea

Not me

Rashida needs to liquidate the Hamas anchors

Here comes Alex Wagner’s fuckery.

Where are the moderate democrat senators denouncing the antisemitic protests?

The Moderate Democrats do not want to be swirled together with the Pro-Israeli genocide.

It is a bunch of confused protests, and the easiest thing to do IS SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT.

R2, Andy Lack canceled her show right before MSNBC became the all Trump all the time network.

MSNBC is covering the Salvation and Redemption of America through the Prosecutions of Donald J. Trump in the Federal Courts, the New York Courts and the Georgia Courts.

The only thing missing is the Asylum of Charenton.

Lawrence does not like Hope Hicks. Not one bit. Love him.

Can we talk about how cute Adam Klasfeld is? Lawrence has had him on his show every night this week. Just adorable.

Adam Klasfeld:

He seems like a nice guy.

I wish O’Donnell had Alex Wagner’s time slot.

The only can’t miss MSNBC show is my nightly fix of all the legal issues arising from Trump’s multiple cases and nobody presents what I want to be fill-in on better than O’Donnell and his guests.

But I have to fight sleep because of its time slot.

Are they winding down their coverage of the North Face tenting of American campus quadrangles?

Lawrence’s take down of Hicks was a masterclass.

Hicks was the official whore of the Trump Administration.

She was a protected Lewinsky.

And only Lawrence is peeling off her reality from the edges.

Is there a list of all the men she fucked for Trump?

A beautiful young woman who was the Trump Administration pass-around?

I love Melissa Murray's White Chains necklace.

A visual metaphor.

While Nicolle & Chris Jansing were empathetic to a pretty girl crying as if it was a real story…Lawrence saw right through that bullshit and said who fucking cares.

Susanne Craig is a sensationalist reporter who talks about the clickbait and not the real story.

R18 At one time, Hope Hicks was known as Melania Knavs. Once Knavs became 'Trump', Hicks took over her role.

Earlier this week, Lawrence used those hand off minutes to school Alex Wagner. She had on NYT Michelle Goldberg and they were comparing the police response to the Columbia protests to the campus violence in the sixties, as if both circumstances were commensurate. Lawrence fully explained why the two were not alike and the difference in the police response, he gave perspective. Alex Wagner signed off with a chastened face.

I like him. He is not afraid to take a position counter to his msnbc colleagues and his panel guests almost always are knowledgeable and expert.

And for the love of Baby Jesus, will Rashida switch Velshi's two hours with The Weekend's two hours?

I get up at 5am to watch the weekend, go back to bed for two hours to get up and watch Katie Phang or Jen Psaki on the weekends.

Velshi is insufferable.

Getting up at 7am on the West Coast is till an abomination, but it's better than the 2hr Velshi nap.

Pardon my mixing of metaphors but Alex Wagner isn’t the sharpest bowling ball on the rack.

I think she interrupts too much, too.

Have you heard about Joy’s book?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Stephanie Ruhle is no slouch in the interrupting department. Melber is another one who consistently upstages their guests. Rude.

You are correct that Melber upstages, as he has to be the sharpest knife in the attorney drawer.

And he follows up with his insufferable wigger crap.

He needs to be replaced with Katie Phang.

He needs to do weekend recaps.

Just listened on Youtube to O'Donnell's Hope Hicks monologue. Brilliant.

Klasfeld is my type.

Looks like he’s packing, too.

^^^^ Is that a photo from his senior prom ?

Interesting Brian Williams News!

I will be highly disappointed if I don’t see Ayman’s thighs tonight.

How dare O'Donnell mansplain the protests to Alex Wagner!!!

Ayman Being Antisemitic Once Again…

Ayman’s female antisemitic 1st guest sucks.

Re R32's link, I too am a fan of Brian Williams' "rye" sense of humor.

Rachel/Lawrence & Ayman do not see these antisemitic protests the same way.

Now you know why Ayman is buried on a weekend. Lawrence even made a comment this week that there is nothing to watch on the weekends.

Wonder if Ayman is stepping out of line tonight, Mehdi style.

I haven't tuned into to Alex Wagner's show in a long time but watched a little bit last week. She looks totally exhausted and it just seems she is in way over her head for the prime time slot. Put O'Donnell in 9 pm and Katie Phang at 11 pm.

Ayman let Ilhan Omar's dumbass daughter talk about being attacked by a chemical weapon at Columbia without any push back that the chemical weapon was fart spray. A 4th grader would have done a better interview.

“ Interesting Brian Williams News!”

Extremely hard pass. I couldn’t stand his nasal, smarmy, and measured delivery. 🚫

Joy and Rachel up next!

FIRE Ayman! FIRE Alex! Get these antisemites out of here!

Joy's book is on Merlie and Medgar is wonderful. Happy that it was a #1 NYT Bestseller. Loving this program with her and Rachel.

Joy has a book? Why didn’t anyone tell me?

[quote] I get up at 5am to watch the weekend, go back to bed for two hours to get up and watch Katie Phang or Jen Psaki on the weekends.

They do have have newfangled things called DVR's, then you can speed through the commercials.

LawrenceO’Donnell shredded Alex Wagner, Hope Hicks & Dump in one week. Can’t wait to see who is on the list for a takedown next week.

Chris Hayes brother Luke is Jamaal Bowman’s campaign manager. Why didn’t Alex Wagner disclose that before interviewing him?

Antisemitism runs in the family.

r46, I cannot record streams...

People like this don't vote Democratic.

MSNBC's Barb McQuade was on BookTV very early this morning being interviewed by Joyce Vance and WOW she is an entirely different person than when she appears on MSNBC. She is animated and funny with her arms waving around, I was amazed by her demeanor. You can see the interview at the link.

[quote]Chris Hayes brother Luke is Jamaal Bowman’s campaign manager. Why didn’t Alex Wagner disclose that before interviewing him?

Of course he is. But remember, the Hayes family don't hate Jews, they just hate Zionists.

Chris is married to a Jewish woman.

Link to that R53?

[quote]I will be highly disappointed if I don’t see Ayman’s thighs tonight.

I'm highly disappointed I didn't see his cock and balls.

Alex Wagner is Antisemitic and should be fired immediately.

Plus she sucks all around with her Brown education using big words to make her seem smart, but comes off as an entitled asshole.

Does anyone else find her plethora of rings disturbing?

More than three rings = one big red flag

R56 nails it.

R57 What's the red flag ?

All is forgiven if Ayman anchors his show in short shorts.

Ayman needs to wave his pro Palestinian flag into the sunset.

Andy Shaw is Kate Shaw's father. He is a longtime Chicago journalist and was head of investigations at the Better Government Associations. He shortened his nose and his name, which was probably Shapiro. You can find his X feed at @andyshawchicago I cannot be bothered to do more.

So Chris Hayes and his brother are vile antisemites but his wife may or may not be a Jew.

A number of pictures of Chris and his kids in Andy's feed. I will modify my statement. Andy Shaw is Jewish. His daughter Kate who is married to Chris may not be but is of Jewish extraction.

Andy Shaw is known to be a good guy.

Ayman is all Palestine all day. How tiresome.

America Is Not at war with Palestinians, not at war with Israel, but IS AT WAR WITH TERRORISTS.

All those people who want America to take action against Israel are helping Hamas.

STFU and let Joe control his foreign policy.

R59 Johnny Depp levels of cray-cray drama.

Andrew Weissmann had a framed photo of a boy in graduation gear during Jen Psaki’s show.

Is he a dad for real?

Heard he is married to a woman and has a son???

So, Cassidy Hutchinson, tell us what you know about Hope Hicks providing sexual favors to the ENTIRE TRUMP WEST WING.

[quote]Alex Wagner is Antisemitic and should be fired immediately.

[quote]So Chris Hayes and his brother are vile antisemites but his wife may or may not be a Jew.

Damn near everyone on the network has been accused of being antisemitic at one time or another in recent MSNBC threads on the DL. If hiring and firing were based on that, would anyone on air now survive the purge or do they all harbor hatred for Jews and need to go?

Lawrence can stay.

[quote] "Who wants to fuck Joe Scarborough?"

Mika, presumably.

[quote] "Who thinks Alex Wagner & Joy Reid should be fired?"

Pas moi. I don't get the DL hate for either one.

[quote] 'Who thinks Chris Hayes gained too much weight?"

Weight aside: the guy means well, but he's both boring AND annoying. Sort of snivelish, and hyperactive, with an annoying tone.

[quote] "Who thinks Jen Pskai is annoying?"

Pas moi, encore.

[quote] "Who will win The Weekend cat fight- Symone or Alicia?"

I didn't know that was a thing. But from what I can tell, Symone is not a small lady.

[quote] "Who loves Daddy Lawrence O’Donnell?"

I respect and admire his contributions. But that...as they say...is that.

I suppose all those dying to know what Native West Virginian thinks about all this are relieved..

Jonathan Lemire is a Sensationalist News Reader and Access “Journalist.”

[quote] Who wants to fuck Joe Scarborough?

Mika won’t let the Lá Sènatrice anywhere near him. She’s not Mel.

R57, the internet say Andrew's son is named Ben and his wife's name is Debra.

And here’s Raf Sanchez, with his daily dose of Jew hatred….Israel should expel him, like they did Al-Jazeera. Pure Hamas propaganda. I was shocked when he choked out a line about Hamas firing rockets (never mentions this despite it being a daily occurrence for Israelis) into Israel and killing 4 Israelis. .A pox…

Even as someone who finds Joe somewhat fuckable (sue me, he reminds me of an ex), come on. On her best day, Lady G couldn’t snag Scarborough.

Eww to fucking Joe. I'd fuck Willie til he's silly....

What R78 said. Team Willie!

Another vote for Willie. I couldn’t even hate fuck that GQP POS. He still has the stench of Puke Getrich all over him. He was an obnoxious Congressman.

BG on Joy!

BG presents as a bio male. That voice is deeper than most posters here in DL land.

Hers is a harrowing story and Joy is handling the interview with sympathy and compassion.

Joy Reid should hire Brittney's makeup artist.

I’ve always been a huge fan of BG’s since she played in college. I’m glad she’s doing well and I can’t wait to see her play this season.

I find it really hard to believe that Brittney Griner is a bio-woman. Seven feet tall, a voice deeper than James Earl Jones, and no breasts. If she’s intersex or something, she should just say so.

Griner is an idiot and cost another American his chance at freedom.

[quote] "I'd fuck Willie til he's silly...."

Mmm. I want him suited and coiffed as he is on air. With that bit of a Superman curl. I've crushed on him for years. I'd love to crack that shell and introduce him to a few new things.

[quote]Lawrence’s take down of Hicks was a masterclass.

Couldn't agree more, and for that matter, his previous night's recap of the trial and how forlorn Trump was, was too. I call Lawrence "The Preacher" and his sermons (A-Blocks) of late have been on fire!

There is something rich about a woman who is one of the most important voices on the left, who has reduced her work to one day a week and an $85 million dollar contract telling her audience "Now is not the time to check out" Hey Rachel.

^ Imagine all the talent that MSNBC could hire with Rachel's salary.

Fire her now for being a lazy employee.

R91

Fire Alex Wagner and get some top tier talent for 9pm.

I love Rachel but it's true.

Rachel is far from lazy. She uses the extra time to work on more detailed, focused projects like books and podcasts. They’re great.

People criticized her when she had a daily show, people criticize her when she pulled back. She’s easily one of the best news analysts on air right now.

O Donnell reminds me of the guy on Fraser that was smitten with the English woman. He is good because he gives news with a bit of bitchy snark. Joy is good, I don’t see any problems with her. Did anyone see Steve Kornacki covering the Kentucky Derby? He was very intelligent in the way he covered the stats and I was pleasantly surprised to see him.

Rachel, if you’re going to rewrite an author’s words (with her sitting right there) maybe don’t put the actual quote on the screen while you do it.

Young Lawrence

Yes, please.

I want to be Joe Scarborough's Deep Throat.

I’m still trying to figure out why Joy Reid is wearing my uncle’s toupee.

r93, typical passive-aggressive AI Troll.

I love you, but go the fuck away.

Nope, this is the place to be. Love Rachel. No one is like her.

I cannot stand Symone. Cannot. I like Stephanie Ruhle. I like Lawrence.

What did Symone do to draw such ire? She’s feisty and tells it like it is, which is actually an asset given the usual humdrum, stiff personalities (“Sleepy” Andrea Mitchell to name just one).

Interesting, because I can’t stand the both of them. And I’ll throw in Mr. Jose Diaz-Balart. Lord, is he insufferable. Zero spark, asks questions like a five-year-old with upspeak. Rashida!!

I didn’t know that Chris Jansing was such a judgmental school marm. Describing sex as “icky,” and wants all to know she is a “lady” who must clutch her pearls at this “locker room talk” regarding the slattern porn actress. I wonder how long it’s been since she has had her kitty poked. Poor BF/husband.

R105 Diaz-Balart was so obnoxious this morning. Just awful.

Diaz-Bolart almost seems retarded to me.

Chris Jansing is a moron.

Let’s start with the sex

Chris Hayes is pushing maximum density.

They should have stipulated that Rachel return for the last several months of 2024 5 nights a week in her renegotiated contract.

Alex Wagner is no longer an A-List player for Primetime.

Rachel’s Condom Talk is Must See TV.

All TV women must describe sex as icky, or maybe it is just sex with Donald Trump that I would have to agree with.

True to form, Many HaHa Wallace just described today's testimony as "icky."

Grown-assed women acting like preteen girls. Sad.

[quote] Rachel is far from lazy. She uses the extra time to work on more detailed, focused projects like books and podcasts.

Does Rachel really have books and podcasts? I had no idea! She's so humble that she never mentions them. She obviously hates self-promotion.

Ari looks like Fred Flintstone.

Shave, dude.

Joy Reid is not flinching over the spanking comment.

Seems like some of the other grown ass women anchors are acting prude.

Such a good interview that Joy conducted with Britney Griner. You could see how happy she was for BG now that she’s a soon-to-be mom.

R54, I think I’ve told this before… a friend was at U of M with Barb McQuade. They lived in law school housing, and according to my pal, Barb and her BF (now her husband) had earth shatteringly noisy sex on a nightly basis. And good for her, say I.

Chris Hayes is giggling over the Stormy Sex Talk.

Seriously these people are married with kids and act like they never fucked anyone before.

I like when Ari is scruffy. Grrrrr.

Rachel/Lawrence/Alex are at least making jokes about it.

I am a stranger in your land, says the lesbian.

Jesus, Lawrence, stop saying "the hole".

To be fair, Rachel only has experience with scissoring.

[quote] Chris Hayes is giggling over the Stormy Sex Talk.

Chris has been breaking out into giggling fits quite a bit lately. One night I was wondering if he was stoned because it was really over the top. There wasn't really anything funny going on but he was giggling his ass off.

"...a bouquet of whiskey."

Chris also referred to the sex between Stormy and Jabba the Trump as “icky.” WTF? You’re a grown ass man, married, with kids! You’re talking like a bitchy 12 year old girl.

I generally Lisa Ruben, but at this moment while she’s on Lawrence O’Donnell show, she needs to just SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

She’s way over exposed, talks too much, and can be insufferably manic.

^^^^^^^^^^

*I generally like Lisa Ruben….

I'm torn about the Wilma Flintstone necklace Lisa Ruben is wearing.

Lisa Rubin obviously hates Trump, I like her.

Andrew Weissmann and Neal Katayal are the only 2 legals I can handle plus that cute Adam Klasfeld.

Lisa Rubin needs to STFU.

Lisa's baroque pearl necklace is a classic.

She's going out tonight.

Love Lisa Rubin!

But it IS icky.

Someone finally gave Molly Jong-Fast a makeover! Sweet Jaysus! It’s not perfect, but a great improvement. At least she looks like a real, live person, not a corpse. She’s not ugly.

[quote]She’s not ugly.

If you say so. 🙄

Molly’s mother wrote one of the definitive, sexual feminist books of all time.

You thought people didn’t know? Lol. Everyone over there is a nepo baby.

Yes, Lisa Rubin really dominated the discussion last night on O'Donnell. She needs to reign herself in on explanations - particularly with having Adam, Andrew and Lawrence at the table. If I were a show producer I might hesitate to have her on.

Adam is so busy looking at his binder it takes him awhile to get his point across.

I like Lisa Rubin. I think Weismann and Katayal are much too optimistic about the legal system.

Team Lisa and Baroque Pearls.

You can't clutch those.

Lisa and her Wilma Flintstone Ba-Rock Pearls

Is it Lisa Rubin, or Ruben like the sandwich.

Where’d that Reuben woman come from? Never saw her until the past few weeks?

John Heilemann has lost weight, you can see it in his face.

John Heilemann is one of those fat in the face with spaghetti string legs that make him look so odd when they picture him sitting at the desk with Joe or Nicolle.

I don’t see antagonism from Lawrence O’Donnell to Alex Wagner.

*

But R129 imagining Trump having sex is icky. He thinks of himself as a Don Juan, Lothario, and he is a fucking joke.

Ari Melber has this fucking RFK, Jr on. Why is he giving this freakshow a platform?

Does RFK have brain damage? This dude can’t even spit out a coherent sentence.

He does! A worm eat part of his brain.

Letting him self-destruct like he did with Navarro, r153?

Did he sniff tequila?

Who wants to fuck Joe Scarborough? Not even with Mika's dick, but give me a shot at Andrew Ross Sorkin and his two different colored eyes.

Who thinks Alex Wagner & Joy Reid should be fired? I would need to know who is replacing them.

Who thinks Chris Hayes gained too much weight? Don't care either way

Who thinks Jen Pskai is annoying? Not at all.

Who will win The Weekend cat fight- Symone or Alicia? Michael Steele

Who loves Daddy Lawrence O’Donnell? Like not love.

Ari will interview anyone. I suppose he is newsworthy. I switched it off. Can’t listen to that voice or what it’s saying.

Lisa Rubin tries to dominate every segment, particularly those "outside the courthouse updates" shared with the grey-haired woman whose name escapes me. The male attorneys see through Rubin's act, while the women are slower on the uptake.

Meanwhile, Neal Katyal apparently has sufficient, and seems depressed. I hope it's only temporary, as I'm Team Katyal.

What's under Claire's glass dome? Is it pink?

Answering my own question at R159: Susan Craig

No Lawrence tonight, Capehart is covering. I'm going to bed.

r159, time to cue Chuck Rosenberg...

Susanne, r161.

Thanks, R164.

Stephanie Rhule coming at Molly Jong- Fast.

Hillary and author of "Suffs" on. Hillary had good surgery.

No surgery, Hillary is a jolly old grandmother who was never aged by the presidency. Like Trump.

Nicolle has prairie hair.

r49 stop this silliness. get Sling TV which includes a cloud-based DVR. Will help you get some more weekend zzz’s.

Andrew Weissmann’s face during the spanking comment.

He might need a safe word soon.

Deadline White House: Time to settle-in for a rousing laughfest featuring Andrew Weissman, Lisa Rubin and Susanne Craig. Nicolle Wallace degrades everyone she touches.

[quote]Nicolle Wallace degrades everyone she touches.

She’s a typical Republican.

Many HaHa Wallace might be an idiot savant whose talent is political science. Seriously.

Ari makes anything ponderous and boring including rap.

Antisemitic Mehdi go away.

Take a drink every time they say Necklace.

Lisa has the evening baroque pearls on again.

Girl is going out.

NBC has one very bad courtroom artist and one OK one. The bad one does a lovely handsome Trump, and an odd lumpy Stormy.

One needs to be replaced.

Those sketches are awful.

Jake Tapper does courtroom sketches, too. They're pretty good.

Chris Hayes is EXTRA tonight.

They had Lawrence on today while the trial was on break and he looked 20 years older than he does on his show. Kudos to the show's makeup crew. They work miracles!

Lawrence had titties in his face???

Amy Lumet in photo at R184: daughter of Sidney Lumet; granddaughter of Lena Horne; and former wife of the late PJ O'Rourke.

Fuck Kasich

me me me me Symone me

Stephanie Rhule is in Paris with her daughter for Taylor Swift.

This woman takes off soo many working days, just give her show to Symone already.

Symone has exceeded my expectations. I just wish she wouldn't wear form-fitting stripes.

Stephanie Rhule likes to show off her privileged, rich lifestyle.

Damn Al Sharpton on Deadline White House is looking a rough 69 years old, I thought he must be in his 80's but no he is 69.

^^Black Do Crack

Remember when MSNBC loved having Michael Cohen on their shows & now….

He’ll be back, R193, after he testifies.

Stephanie Ruhle reminds me of a drunk at a honky tonk.

Ruhle is probably a very sloppy drunk.

Forgive me if this has already been discussed upthread but do you think Stormy Daniels will guest on any MSNBC show soon and, if so, which one? Is she legally allowed?

She sounded so sharp and bright in the court transcripts I'm almost expecting to see her soon as a regular talking head on Morning Joe.

R193 I believe he's testifying on Monday. He sure knows how to press Trump's buttons.

Symone: wearing white onscreen is discouraged because of the solid light strain to the viewer's vision. When you're thrice the size of the average tv personality, that glare can be downright blinding! Remember, too, the camera adds ten pounds, and white is not known for its slimming effects.

Take notice of your colleagues - no sensible woman among them wears a solid white top or dress on air.

Ruhle in white

Psaki

My using the word "sensible" was deliberate.

Next up: Joy Ann Reid.

Adam Klasfeld is such a cutie but his halting delivery pales next to ramrod Lisa Rubin.

Lisa's a flood of information and Adam has a hard time putting his thoughts together.

I don't think Andrew Weissman likes sharing segment time with them on O'Donnell's show.

Where can we buy Michael Cohen's cute Trump in Jail tee-shirt?

Joy...white

Is Lawrence still dating Mary-Louise Parker?

She IS bright and articulate (which we often see, AREN'T the same thing). She graduated from a Baton Rouge magnet school at a time when that school was top-notch. It's just too bad she had shit parents, because someone so pretty, with the quick intelligence she has, should not have had to put her tits and ass on full display just to make rent.

Nicolle is right; there IS such a difference in how Stormy has been treated/perceived compared with Hope Hicks and that other Trump aide who testified earlier this week.

She was fucking GOLD back when the reprobate David Vitter was vying for the Louisiana GOP nomination for governor.

I love Alex, and Chris is super-jacked. Laurence needs to retire after the election.

[quote]and Chris is super-fat.

Fixed.

It’s Lawrence, and fuck you.

^Hi Lawrence!

Suzanne Craig talks too much.

[quote] Suzanne Craig talks too much.

Hold my beer.

Maybe they read Jen Psaki's new book, SAY MORE.

“ Suzanne Craig talks too much.”

- Lisa Ruben

Andrew + Ari hate Lisa Ruben??

Hugo Lowell. Exotically handsome.

He's the Brit substitute for the Arab they got rid of.

[quote]Andrew + Ari hate Lisa Ruben??

She bulldozed into their lane.

Ayman is Antisemitic & Misogynist.

Shame on Molly Jong Fast as a so-called feminist kissing up to Ayman’s misogynistic comments about Hillary Clinton.

Symone + Michael Steele are a team.

Alicia is their plus one.

I am not much of a fan of Alicia but her role is hurt by being in a different studio than Symone and Michael Steele. Alicia is in New York and Symone and Michael are in DC,

Alicia looks like she’s pregnant. Anyone know?

[quote]…and Chris is super-jacked...

Chris who…?

R226, I think the poster was referring to Chris Hayes.

Would you people stop plugging each other's books?

I wouldn’t mind some plugging. It’s to be expected. But I don’t want to see each MSNBC author on every other MSNBC show with entire segments given over to their book promotions and every other host slathering on the praise, not to mention shilling for book tours. It’s disrespectful to the audience.

I'm sick of Jen Psaki. Talk about special treatment. MSNBC treated her like she was superior to every other host from day one and I'd hate her if I were one of the longtime hosts. But she's like an amateur compared to the special treatment Rachel gets.

I'm sick of Andrew Weissman too. He's on EVERY fucking show and his voice drives me up the wall plus it seems to me he often just says what he knows most people want to hear. I'd much rather watch Lisa Rubin. Adam is cute but they don't really need him.

I can't stand Molly Nepo-Baby. Most annoying voice on the planet and eyeball searing hair.

r230, unlike you, most people don't sit at home watching MSNBC all day and all night so they don't see those guests recurring all day and all night.

I think most people who watch MSNBC watch more than one show a day

Says R231 who spends all their time on Data Lounge ROFL.

r230, I sit at home watching MSNBC all day and all night so I see those guests recurring all day and all night.

It depends on the plugger and the plugged.

Joy's book is kinda singular and her plugging it is a one note that even Rachel and The Apollo couldn't breathe life into.

Every book written by Rachel and Andrew and Melissa are destined for Poli Sci classes for decades. They are foundational.

Jen Psaki held a unique position and her book is revelatory while being a Biden warrior. Her access to the Biden WH is incalculable for MSNBC.

The Velshi book seems uninteresting.

Plus I am on the MSNBC high watcher list that gets polled all the time. The last proctoscope was about Capehart. He needs to be moved up earlier on weekends, Velshi and Ayman needs to be sent to oblivion.

More Psaki, less Symone.

Take a drink every time Jen Psaki says “I’ve worked for two US Presidents!”

Take another one every time Nicolle says “I was working in the White House on September 11th.”

R230 why do you watch MSNBC if so many people annoying you, I love all the people you seem to hate except for Molly horrible hair Jong-Fast.

If they stopped watching, R237, people like R230 would be deprived of the the opportunity to bitch about it here. They're not about to give that up.

[quote]More Psaki, less Symone.

I don't think so. Symone livens up the joint, and she worked side by side with Kamala.

Get off your sanctimonious high horse, R238. YOU bitch about me so who the hell are you to scold anyone else about bitching.

Did Psaki get a nose job?

[quote] Symone livens up the joint, and she worked side by side with Kamala.

Working with Kamala is probably not going to be the golden career highlight one might wish

How much work “with Kamala” did Symone actually do? She was in that position less than a year.

Alicia’s dad’s trial starts today.

IT IS TOO EARLY FOR CHRIS JANSING!!

Mika looked Iike shit today. Must've had a busy weekend.

Too much Starbucks sugar...

[quote] Alicia’s dad’s trial starts today.

It is going to be interesting to see how this trial is handled on MSNBC especially on Alicia'a show The Weekend.

Well considering that most of MSNBC is 100% Trump trial, it’s no mystery to me. They won’t cover it much, if at all.

r249, fine with me.

Me, too.

is Lemire trimming down?

Katy Tur doing her best to trash Michael Cohen and prop up Trump.

Is anybody else unable to set this thread for watching? The eye is gone for me but ONLY on this thread.

LISA RUBEN TALKS TOO FUCKING MUCH!!

She’s the monopolizing Queen of rambling commentary.

I LOVE Lisa RubIn, but she does need to reign it in. I hope someone speaks. to her.

Katy Tur is trying real hard today…

Lawrence took Katy Tur down too.

He’s having too much fun basically telling Alex Wagner & Katy Tur how unsmart they are.

[quote] Is anybody else unable to set this thread for watching? The eye is gone for me but ONLY on this thread.

OMG really dude? What did you do to piss off Muriel, you in big trouble now.

It bugs me when people pronounce Michael Cohen's last name as Cone.

Everyone thinks they're a lawyer. I had to switch to CNN during Jasmine & Jansing's 11AM mouth frothing barstool litigating.

[quote]It bugs me when people pronounce Michael Cohen's last name as Cone

Tell me about it.

r256, only a queen can reign it in.

Katy Tur signing off their broadcast and saying goodbye, Chris Jansing says good to have you back, and Katy Tur instead of saying thanks, say, "Yes"

This trial is on fucking loop.

Where’s the Biden news?

You caught that, too, R264!

I used to adore Katy, but since that second child she's been doing way too much extra.

Katy Tur is jealous and gonna burn it all down.

She wants to sit at the table at 8pm, but instead has to babysit Andrea Mitchell.

What did Katy Tur say today that got her trending on twitter?

Katy Turd is obviously auditioning for a spot on Fox News.

Sad to see Katy decline. I think it’s the tranny dad, two kids, and Tony’s cheating. She’s floundering as Andrea Mitchell’s babysitter. She really needs a break, or to just take a deep breath and slither over to FauxNews.

Imagine you are Katy Tur and see Alex Wagner & Jen Psaki climb into Primetime. While Turd has been there forever trying to get the big promotions.

Unlike other anchors, Katy never seems to guest on anyone else's show.

Ari’s wiglet isn’t sitting in its usual place today.

[quote]Sad to see Katy decline. I think it’s the tranny dad, two kids, and Tony’s cheating.

Sorry, Tony's what?? Details, please!

Hah.

Clearly, Rachel does not see Michael Cohen as any kind of hero.

Rachel acting her heart out tonight.

Are there really no better courtroom artists than those whose work we see on MSNBC? Most of the drawings are like badly observed cartoons.

Is Chrissy Hayes working on a Monday night?

Nice to see Rachel, Lawrence, Katie Phang, Nicolle & Chris Hayes for tonight's analysis of Cohen's testimony.

Be a Katie Phang, not a Lisa Rubin.

But where is Joy?

I like the tie Chris Hayes is wearing.

[quote]Unlike other anchors, Katy never seems to guest on anyone else's show.

She seems like she could be a real bitch when the cameras are off. Nobody else probably wants her on their shows.

Chris Hayes wife is an attorney, and he is posing legal questions that he claims "he has been wondering about" why not ask your wife.

Chris needs to go see someone better for his hair. That's an atrocious cut.

He's got (seemingly) good hair; he needs to find someone that knows how best to cut it.

R285, Chris’s wife may not be a criminal lawyer or even a litigator.

One of the drawings of Michael Cohen doesn’t look anything like him. It’s kind of amazing.

[quote]Unlike other anchors, Katy never seems to guest on anyone else's show

Same could be said about that Reid woman; does no one ask that she cover in their absence? She would jump at the chance to host during the actual prime time, 8:00pm to 11:00pm.

R288, I agree. Cohen is way sexier.

Some of those courtroom drawings are very overwrought with lines and swirls that age the faces of Cohen and Stormy and even lovely Hope Hicks.

Uh oh, the "unreigned" Lisa Rubin has just joined the panel. Ari and Catherine Christian, you may as well just go home.

Yes R286, that haircut is awful.

Why do they confine the luscious Danny Cevallos to only the morning hours?

That may be what Danny wants.

Chris Hayes is very extra. I'm not sure what he really brings to the table.

Lisa Rubin has done a much better job tonight of giving concise analysis. Agree about Chris Hayes being extra -- he's a bit of a drama queen waving his hands around.

They keep seating poor Adam Klasfeld practically in Lisa's lap so whenever she on camera talking, he's in the shot, too, having to nod and nod and nod, when he's probably desperately trying to think of what to say that she hasn't already said.

Adam Klasfeld sometimes gets so excited when called on to speak that he seems to get tongue tied and can't express his thoughts.

[quote]Why do they confine the luscious Danny Cevallos to only the morning hours?

I've sometimes seen him on the NBC Evening News, although not frequently.

Maybe he works at his non media job.

Cevallos is Chuck Rosenberg lite. He has taken over "the prosecution has not made its case" Debbie Downer legal commentator.

It appears that Danny wants a video of Trump signing a contract with Pecker and Cohen, declaring he is paying off women before the election to defraud the election laws and will not pay them after as it would save cash and be unnecessary. And that Cohen is a sworn liar. Like Cevallos would have problems with the corroborated testimony of Sammy "The Bull" Gravano against John Gotti.

I much prefer the temperate Cevallos/Rosenberg/Honig (CNN) model to the uniformity of opinion otherwise seen on MSNBC.

Watching Lisa Rubin yesterday, I was wondering who at MSNBC reads Data Lounge, because she was definitely a little more low key.

Or more likely, no one reads Data Lounge, and TPTB also thought she needed to be REINED in.

(Not reigned - sorry about that - how did I escape an "Oh, dear"?) .

Who thinks Alex Wagner & Joy Reid should be fired?

I do.

Alex Wagner's voice is like nails of chalkboard. Inexcusable that she feels we must accept that voice with no effort by her to be pleasant.

Joy Reid because she is a duplicitous lying cunt.

While awaiting the cross-examination to begin, fucking Katy Turd is pressing Michael Steele to define the word "media?" Bitch, you are barking up the wrong tree.

The fact that the word media is plural for medium, seems to escape most of those working in the media.

SMH

Watching MSNBC's coverage this afternoon, the segment they were interviewing Chris Hayes on the street. In the studio, who's the good looking guy sitting next to the black dude with the gray beard? I don't think I've seen him before. 🥵

R288 I said the same thing when they showed that drawing. He looks more like Rock Hudson in his sad last days.

R304 I like Joy’s enthusiasm for bashing Trump and MAGA fuckfaces when they’re caught being assholes and dicks - like, every day, so she can stay. Alex, on the other hand… You hit the bullseye about that awful, grating voice. I can’t watch her show because of it.

There's a Rachel panel tonight at 8.

I really don't like this L shaped panel table for MSNBC coverage, people have to learn forward to talk to the host. A round or oval table works much better, the conversation seems to flow better in the round.

[quote]Joy Reid because she is a duplicitous lying cunt.

It's called a life. Seek one out and grab it.

FIRE KATY TURD.

Interesting to see critical post-Access Hollywood reaction by Molly Hemingway. Since Trump's election, nary a contrary word about Trump has this worst of the worst pundits uttered.

WTF with no Reid Outs this week. Fuck Ari and I don’t mean that in a good way. Joy’s capable of talking about Trump’s court case and getting law experts as guests.

I hate that red and black set. It looks like it was made with licorice.

Totally agree, r315! And what are all those XXX supposed to represent?

What's with Chris Hayes, Alex Wagner, and Rachel Maddow...three non-legal blowhards hosting this roundtable to discuss the trial?

Rachel's hair looks great tonight

Seriously MSNBC has 24/7 coverage of this trial minus Morning Joe who only does a segment.

CNN is even reporting other stories at times. Media is failing us because where are the Biden stories???

Symone is calling this out on X, but why isn’t she bringing it up louder and to the bosses.

Because this is ratings and the bosses want it.

That dress makes Lisa Rubin look "big as a house."

Why are all the panelists shouting?

Chris Hayes, tell us one more time you where in the courthouse today.

Charles Coleman is yummy.

Lisa has what we used to call a "Junoesque" figure and would do well with some soft tailoring to give her some straight lines and angles.

[quote] Seriously MSNBC has 24/7 coverage of this trial minus Morning Joe who only does a segment.

MSNBC's only mission is to attack republicans and campaign for democrats. News is only incidental if they squeeze it in at all. It's called MSDNC for a reason.

Joy is probably on vacation.

Not only are they 100% Trump trial, but they all have the same basic take: The case is solid and the prosecution is winning. There is a more diverse set of reactions available on CNN.

Apparently, Fox had been ignoring the trial until recently. Their attention corresponds to the sudden interest of GOP politicians showing up. Not sure why the change.

^Yes, Fox is all in on the cross of Cohen.

And they call Fox News Faux News, R324. And if you think MSNBC is merely the Democratic version of Fox News, I have 780 million ( and counting) reasons to disabuse of that notion.

The Times noticed

The "straight-news operation" ended when Microsoft sold its interest in the company

I don't know why John Heilemann puts up with joe's rudeness to him over and over. Joe went after him as if Heilemann was responsible for the NYT poll being discussed. I think elitist Joe overestimates the impact anything from NYT has on the majority of voters. Again, the east coast does not influence many of the nation's voters outside the beltway and NY demographics. Just my opinion. I may be wrong.

Since he's been more visible (again) lately, what's the story on John Heilemann?

I don't mean the standard question. of straight/gay (he reads as very straight to me.). Where's he come from? What's his political background? His personal background? What's with the tat on the back of his hand? How'd he end up on MSNBC?

Okay. I will ask. Has anyone seen him shirtless?

I hope MSNBC stays leftist/progressive. With Fox News, we desperately need a counterbalance. And it should be in its DNA. Phil Donahue was supposed to be an early anchor, but supposedly Chris Matthews managed to bump him off. Then Keith Olbermann became King - and Ed Schultz was very labor/left oriented until they dumped him - and he went to RT! Oh what crazy days but it was the beginning, and imo, the only hope for this drifting to theocratic-fascist country.

Maybe MSNBC simply needs to change its name - and drop the "NBC" part, to appease red state affiliates and such.

Fuck red state affiliates.

Did anyone see those two Georgia MAGAs just now--the blonde who said Trump is a billionaire and doesn't have to run but he's running because he has the biggest heart in the world. How can anyone be so deluded? Fuck her with Lindsay Graham's dildo.

I want to see Biden and Trump debate just a little more than I'd like to have a foot fungus. Re-elect Joe, make the other one go away, flip the house, and leave us in piece.

[quote] I want to see Biden and Trump debate just a little more than I'd like to have a foot fungus.

that

I mean peace, not piece. Fuck homonyms.

From link below:

Jason Selvig: What do you think are more dangerous to children, drag shows or guns?

Trump supporter: Drag Shows

Janson: How many people do you think have been killed in a drag show?

Trump supporter: Un, I don't know but the long term affects are detrimental.

Jason: How many people you think die every year from Guns?

Trump supporter: I have no idea.

Jason: 48,000

Trump supporter: 48,000 well okay there are probably a 100,000 that die from drag shows.

^The sad thing is he actually believes that

Trumptard trash.

George Conway is on Deadline White House trying to goad Trump into testifying by saying Trump was scared to testify. He looked right into the camera and said Trump won't testify because he is scared

Many HaHa Wallace is having a rollicking good time today; the laughs just keep coming!

Sick bitch really cannot control herself.

You just watch Dead Line White House to you can bitch about, don't you?

I hope Many HaHa is noting Charlie Sykes' lecture on the media's trivialization of democracy; he's talking to you, Nicolle.

Wow! Now Mark Elias is piling it on. Good on them.

I wish MSNBC wouldn't show so many closeups of Trump's face. When I see them I feel like I'm going to lose my lunch.

I love Nicolle and her interview with Whoopi is gold.

Now on YT.

[quote] Interesting to see critical post-Access Hollywood reaction by Molly Hemingway. Since Trump's election, nary a contrary word about Trump has this worst of the worst pundits uttered.

Here it is. Starting at 3:57.

What did Katy Turd do today?

Marc Pitzke, German journalist. Has a gay hair cut.

Anybody know anything about him?

JJ in for Joy. They’re currently discussing Angela Alsobrooks’s primary Maryland win.

Alicia in for Chris.

Well Chris did work Monday his usual day off, you can't expect hosts to work a five day week.

Alex Wagner is a DISGRACE.

R354, don't know if Alex Wagner is a disgrace but she is in way over her head. I just can't figure out how she got this time slot - she is unable to provide unique insight into the issues of the day. She looks exhausted this year.

She always looks exhausted. I'm going to bet that Alex sees the big picture and offers to leave before she's fired. Though perhaps that won' t be before the election.

Alex Wagner had a show on MSNBC once before it was called Now with Alex Wagner (2011–2015)

Lawrence loses points for shilling for Luke Russert, still milking his father's death.

Lawrence has known Luke since Luke was a kid and both Tim and Lawrence worked for Senator Moynihan. He gets a pass.

The men on Morning Joe this morning loved torturing poor Mika. Joe, Willie, Lemiere and Heilman kept up the Tom Brady talk and Mika was losing her shit. Poor Joyce Vance just weathered the storm.

For Gawd’s sake would someone over there learn how to light walking corpse Molly Jong-Fast?!? Also, she got a brief makeover, and had a better look for a few days, but she clearly doesn’t take her anti-depressants and is determined to look like a Methdaone Clinic client. If you’re determined to have her on, at least make her presentable for tv. Sweet Jaysus.

[quote] He looked right into the camera and said Trump won't testify because he is scared

A double dog dare breach of protocol. This is only to be used after the initial dare has been refused.

I agree R344 . Judging by the results of hitting the ignore button, I believe the same poster bitching about Deadline White House is also thread OP. They took over the MSNBC threads awhile ago just to bitch and complain with their nicknames I'm sure they think are clever and witty (they're not). Beyond that, they have nothing to add. Probably a MAGA troll.

The DL MSNBC threads use to be for fans and level-headed critique, not deranged elementary school playground name calling. I noticed the same thing has happened with the "Treason" threads. We had the same OP over there for a long time, then someone else stole it. I used to follow both, but have lost them since they've been usurped.

What difference does it make who OPs the continuation?

The thread used to deal solely with the hotness of men on MSNBC.

Yes, and there is a bonanza of men on MSNBC that one can fantasize about. It's unreal sometimes.

Is OP the one who came up with the stupid nickname “Many HaHa” for Nicolle?

The Ford pardon of Nixon wasn't controversial, Lawrence?!

Yes, R357, and it was AWFUL.

My middle sister loved that show, as well as the one with Dylan Ratigan (who, to me was sooooo ADHD I couldn't listen to/watch him), and that roundtable one with Toure, Krystal Ball, and one other (to me) non-entity. She even loved the weekend show with Kornacki.

Though she can buy and sell me 1000x, that shit really made me doubt my sister's mental competence.

She was so happy when Alex got that new gig, but even she has acknowledged Wagner has been a disappointment.

Catherine Christianson is a fucking star ⭐️

Cohen says Tur was a favorite Trump reporter to plant positive stories about Trump

Katy, how could you? You're on my shit list now.

FINALLY, the truth about Katy Tur's shadiness.

Nancy Pelosi has had this bitch’s number for a while, of course.

#TurnoffTur is trending on Twitter.

What did Katy do? What did I miss?

She was outed by Michael Cohen as a key media contact he used to plant positive stories about Trump.

Mama Nancy Pelosi will cut that Katy Tur bitch.

Sucks to be you, Katy.

Joe has “when I was in congress” and now apparently Nicole has “I was a juror twice”.

I guess everyone needs a catchphrase.

Lapsed viewer here watching a lot this week while house sitting. My take: Rachel is the best teacher; Lawrence is the best speech writer; Nicolle is the best interviewer. (SHE should have Meet the Press.)

Ari is a piece of work drilling down into the weeds of Cohen's veracity.

How truthful was Sammy The Bull?

But otherwise, Ari has 60 mins of silence to fill.

I find I just can’t listen to Ari anymore. He’s boring, in addition to often being irritating.

Ari spends so much time trying to prove he's a renegade, that all it proves is that he is a fool.

Katy Tur can’t even try to claim that this is just some nasty rumor. Cohen testified about it under oath in court.

Sexy Lawrence!!!!!

[quote]Ari spends so much time trying to prove he's a renegade, that all it proves is that he is a fool.

On the bright side, at least he's staying on topic without showing off his extensive knowledge of hip hop.

MSNBC’s corporate parent, Comcast, staged a rare intervention over the left-leaning network’s rampant criticism of Israel during its coverage of the deadly Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas, 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑵𝒆𝒘 𝒀𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔.

MSNBC anchors Ayman Mohyeldin, Mehdi Hasan and Ali Velshi, who are all Muslim, interviewed guests who suggested the shocking Hamas cross-border invasion — which slaughtered around 1,200 Israelis, including women and children — was the result of “failed policies” by the US and Israel.

The tenor of MSNBC’s coverage that Saturday morning prompted Comcast president Michael Cavanagh to convey his concerns to Cesar Conde, chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, the division that includes MSNBC, NBC News and CNBC, according to the New York Times.

The NBCUniversal News boss then issued a directive to his subordinates at MSNBC to focus on the facts and give less weight to opinions and commentary, the Times reported.

Time for Ayman to go to Mehdi land.

Was that Mika's other brother?

R388

Hope Alex Wagner/ Joy Reid/ Chris Hayes got the fucking memo.

^they did not.

I was watching MSNBC on the morning of October 7. I found the coverage off-putting and unbalanced, especially putting Diana Buttu front and center to basically excuse away Hamas before the bodies even stopped bleeding. A while later. Ali Velshi travelled to Israel and was surprised by the damage inflicted by Hamas’ everyday bombing. Maybe it was my imagination, but his tone seemed to change.

But these perspectives are valuable. I support Israel, just as I support America, but that doesn’t mean either should be free from criticism, The NYT is rolling out a three part story on how Israeli settlers in the West Bank (and previously in Gaza) persecuted Palestinians with the tacit or explicit support of the government and the military. Told by Israelis, not just Palestinians and Arabs. Is this anti-Semitic just because it’s unflattering?

Chris Hayes did an extremely balanced interview with an Israeli dissident on his podcast. Calling him an anti-Semite is way out of line. But that seems to be what people do now (see; “genocide!” and “racist” and “colonialist”) to feel righteous.

Chris Hayes went on a tirade about civilian deaths in Gaza and concluded that it was entirely up to Netanyahu to stop the war as if Hamas had no responsibility for the war and the hostages were immaterial. I haven’t watched his show since.

Was this the story, r394?

I don’t know, and I’m not going to listen to it.

Well, that’s the point. He explicitly holds Hamas accountable for the friendly fire deaths of three hostages in December. He then asks why Israelis would shoot people waving a white flag and surrendering. Which leads him to argue that Israel needs to stop the war to protect the hostages and the Gazan civilians.

Personally, I disagree (stopping the war would just set up future conflicts that take more lives). But it’s not an anti-Semitism to say that the civilian casualties are tragic.

I didn’t accuse him of antisemitism.

I accused him of blaming Israel alone for the war as if they were just bombing civilians out of vengeance and not fighting an enemy force that was still holding hostages.

I used to follow Hayes on Twitter. He would regularly repost stories that show how the Israelis in a bad light, like the one below. His allegiance is clear.

The level of Jew hatred @ MSNBC has made me question why I watch it (as I have since it’s inception) at all. The most bigoted remarks go unchallenged. I no longer watch Joy Reid, Chris Coughlin-Hayes, or Alex Hamas. Haters all and quite the distributors of Hamas disinformation.

Sam Harris just published a piece about why American youth are siding with Hamas. In it, he points out that the ruling family of Qatar are flowers of the Muslim Brotherhood and have donated billions of dollars to elite western universities to fund Middle Eastern Studies departments and that through this route progressive ideology on campuses has incorporated a pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel bent which, of course, is passed on by the faculty to the students.

This is one reason why “progressives” are anti-Israel. Their allegiance has been purchased with oil wealth.

Watching MSNBC with Tur and Black outreach to Black men.

What a bunch of dumbasses.

They don't understand politics and how politics moves policy.

Saw this Trymaine Lee report this morning on Morning Joe about outreach or lack there of to the Black Community, I don't get it.

I don't expect Democrats to reach out to me, I don't think they ever have except for donations. I vote Democratic because their policies align with mine and Republican policies definitely don't. I don't need to be reached out to. Can anyone enlighten me as to why some blacks won't support the party that supports them without outreach?

If you’re so obtuse that you can’t see what Twitler actually is, or how extremely racist he has always been, perhaps consider that you might be too stupid to vote. Biden has appointed more Black judges than any other POTUS, His running mate alone should tell you what you need to know. Morons.

R390 Matt Brzezinski is Mika’s cousin

Alex Wagner needs NYC lighting.

LA ain’t doing this Antisemite any favors.

Atlanta DA Fani Willis will be be Rachel's guest interview Monday

IMHO Fani Willis has no business giving interviews right now, her job is to prosecute, not interview. This will only cause Fani more problems.

You think the case she’s been working on for years can’t afford a day off?

I wonder if Fani will have another quickie before the interview and come on wearing her dress backwards again
