why does MSNBC always start later than the other news channels? CNN and Fox "News" start on weekdays at 4 AM while MSNBC not until 5 AM. On weekends CNN again is at 4. Fox at 6 and MSNBC not until 7! I mean I'm not usually up that early but they get good ratings you'd think they'd start at the same times as their competitors.

and enough of the Dateline marathons on weekends and holidays. Why can't MSNBC put some weekend nightly programming and specials? On Sunday at 9 they do have 1 usually but the rest of the night no

I've wondered this too, R76. When I first noticed he's absent so much, I was kind of excited thinking that MSNBC had gotten rid of him.

His Wiki page notes that he's NBC's "Political Director" so maybe that aspect of his work, whatever that entails, is taking up his time.

Nicolle has a great mix of characteristics. Some one on a previous thread said it well when he described her as the fun, but not slutty girl in the dorms who was a lot of fun to share a joint with. She's a rare mix of perceptive, intellectual, funny, relaxed respectful, and deferent when called for.

I would very much like to see her do an interview with someone who is adversarial to see how she handles it and how she maintains her cool. To my knowledge, she hasn't interviewed Republican lawmakers who lean Trumpkin like a Lindsey Graham. I think the first thing she'd do is ask for an explanation for the many contradictory statements about Trump and policy.

Rachel Maddow's parents are also Trump supporters and both she and Wallace have talked about getting along with their parents in the Trump era which basically means not discussing politics at all. I knew about Nicolle's parents, and now I know about Stephanie Ruhle's, making a trifecta.

Bonus points, Maddow and Wallace grew up only about 20 miles from each other in the East Bay area of San Francisco. There's only a year difference between them, so I wonder if they ever faced off each other on debate teams and the like.

I had the TV on mute and looked up to see Vaughn Hillyard reporting. He has this bizarre habit of bobbing up and down when he speaks. I never really noticed it when I would have the sound on but watch him on silent and it is actually hysterical. He is not that great of a reporter anyway, he always has a pregnant pause when asked a question from the anchor in the studio showing that he doesn't really think fast on his feet. Too much time bobbing and weaving.

When Ari Melber appears on TV one day clean-shaven, the next day with full scruff, the following day clean-shaven...

Is he being fashionable? Making a deliberate choice to appear disheveled once in a while in order to appeal to the audience? “Bum Chic”?

Is he hung over? Is he letting the audience know that he’s so busy working that he doesn’t have time to shave?

If he’s not going to shave....why bother combing his hair? Why bother getting fully dressed? Why not show up on TV in his pajamas with bed head?

Does his occasional scruff bother anyone else? Clearly it doesn’t bother his boss.

There were some great hosts subbing for David Gura while he was on paternity leave. Baratunde was wonderful as was another black commentator with a bald head and glasses. Both quick and really skilled at moving things along which can be hard when there are four guests vying for comment time. Also there was a guest on one of the shows who is one of the hottest in months. His last name is Baron. He has a beard. Perfect. I also love when one of the panelists gets caught with pastry in their mouth and there's a desperate attempt to chew and swallow without actually moving the jaw.

I had already accepted this before watching the show. There is no leap in imagining trump and company had no misgivings about accepting Russia's help in steering opinion on social media or helping the Russians out by giving them all their polling data. Donald has an amazing ability to disconnect from any sense of wrong-doing even when he does things he knows are wrong. Completely immoral.

He also has this weird ability to distance himself from things that are incredibly serious, like running the country. He treats the whole thing like a lark. He treats everything that way. The only thing he seems to be able to take seriously is his press.

The bigger issue to me is, is he going to get away with it?

by Anonymousreply 234January 23, 2019 4:08 PM

We have been discussing this on these threads for two years now! There isn't anything Figluizzi said that hasn't been written on either this or one of the Treason threads. Did it take them this long to catch up? Or is it that Figluizzi finally felt there was enough revealed evidence to finally say this publicly?

Everything connects to this. Even the fucking shutdown!

by Anonymousreply 235January 23, 2019 4:53 PM

I more than suspected that the Trump campaign worked hand in hand with the Russians, but despite feeling this, hearing Figluzzi and Jeremy Bash yesterday was chilling. The threats that the shutdown poses to our security infrastructure both foreign and domestically are really serious and need immediate remediation.

I've gone from accepting that the campaign was in Russian pockets as part of an impromptu project to starting to believe that this has been a carefully planned long term operation spanning back to the 80s when he gained prominence and openly speculated about a presidential bid. The KGB maintained dossiers on prominent Americans, businessmen, industrialists, etc. that the GRU inherited. Czechoslovakian intelligence services began to surveil Ivana's family once she married Trump so who knows what kind of influence and pressure they used on the family to gain access to Trump information or influence him. For all we know, Ivana herself could have been passing information along. And after Ivana, along came the "model" from a former Soviet bloc country,

Trump has long been a Russian mark and potential "useful idiot" I think the only questions that remains is how much awareness he had the he was acting as their agent. I hate thinking "conspiratorially" like this, but I just don't know what other conclusion to reach other than there's a Russian agent in the West Wing.

Joe and Mika are in 'good' with MSNBC management so yeah, they can do what they want. The staff hates her and loves Joe. She has been on more regularly lately but last year she worked when she wanted to. She is busy scheduling speaking engagements for her book - where Joe often accompanies her. It's said their 'rider' is almost as absurd as some rock stars. Mika does not find the SNL skits about her funny at all. She's pretty witless and humorless and fails to follow the flow of the show.

Here’s Phil Donahue talking to Amy Goodman about his 2003 firing from MSNBC for his anti-war stance. NBC at the time was owned by GE, which is a big customer of the Pentagon, and the network bigwigs didn’t dare rock the boat. The final program I think was with Greg Palast, exposing fraud in the 2000 presidential vote count in Florida. (Which brings us back to Roger Stone.) Then without any explanation, Phil was gone.

[quote] Here’s Phil Donahue talking to Amy Goodman about his 2003 firing from MSNBC for his anti-war stance.

A lot of people forget that MSNBC didn't start out trying to be a liberal-leaning network or a counterpart to Fox News. It went through a lot of permutations and didn't finally become a left-leaning network until Obama's presidential run in 2008.

In the early 2000s, following 9/11, MSNBC was trying to out-Fox Fox. They gave right-wing nutjob Alan Keyes his own prime-time show. They gave right-wing radio host Michael Savage a weekend show but fired him when he told a prank caller live on the air that he was a "sodomite" who should "get AIDS and die." And they made a big push to hire people away from Fox News, including Rita Cosby, who had a short-lived prime-time show. I think it was also during this period that Joe Scarborough was brought on board to host "Scarborough Country." And Pat Buchanan showed up regularly as an MSNBC contributor. The only real liberal voice on the network (besides Phil Donahue's brief tenure) was Keith Olbermann.

After the 2016 election, it seemed for a while that MSNBC might be trying to return to this strategy, with the hiring of Greta Van Susteren and giving Hugh Hewitt a weekend show. But neither of those seemed to get good ratings, so both shows were canceled.

If a regular pundit becomes a candidate or becomes an active participant in a political campaign, it's expected that they leave their TV ;positions.. Back in 2011 Newt Gingrich left Fox when he formed an exploratory committee for a run at the presidency and then made a weak run in and flamed out early in the primary. He's since come back as a regular contributor. Back when Sarah Palin was still a regular on Fox and she kept hemming and hawing about another presidential bid, many speculated that she didn't because it would mean losing her lucrative Fox contract which was $1M a year. She ultimately didn't run and Fox dropped her when it was evident she couldn't be counted on to be lucid in her appearances from the special studio they constructed at her Alaska home.

Canned or fired is a strong and likely incorrect characterization of the situation. "not a contributor while he advises" doesn't sound like fired to me. I wouldn't be surprised if he's back once Schulz flames out which I think will be soon. I think people will be too wary of another billionaire businessman dilettante running for POTUS. At least Bloomberg has had a long time interest in governance and some experience.

[quote]An MSNBC spokesperson told the Washington Free Beacon that Schmidt is not a contributor while he advises Schultz on the bid, adding the timing was due to moves by Schultz this week that made his candidacy more real.

There's always been something weird to me about his style - I don't know how to describe it. Slick, reminiscent of Dean Martin in the old days, when he pretended to be drunk - sort of smoothly, lightly, wittily, introducing someone or throwing a question over. A light buzz might explain it?

I rarely go, "Wow," when I watch a show on MSNBC, but tonight I said just that after Lawrence O'Donnell did a segment on Socialism and Sports Socialism. I hope it's available somewhere online soon. When he's good, he's the best. (Sorry, Rachel.)

I was thinking about Democratic Socialism today after Peggy Noonan did a condescending, passive-aggressive attack of AOC on Twitter today.

by Anonymousreply 403February 7, 2019 3:10 AM

Lawrence's segment was great.

But people on the left incl. msnbc evening show hosts are wrong in perpetuating the confusion about "democratic socialism" vs social democracy.

This is the definition of "democratic socialism" on Wiki:

[quote]Democratic socialism is a political philosophy that advocates political democracy alongside social ownership of the means of production with an emphasis on self-management and democratic management of economic institutions within a market or some form of decentralized planned socialist economy.

Whenever there is actual 'socialism", there is a nationalization of the economy - for example, Eastern European socialism as it was. The other feature is in politics: the communist parties' monopoly on power and ideology, aka leftist authoritarianism. These two features are what is called socialism (as the first stage of communism according to the Leninist ideology).

What the msnbc hosts etc. have in mind is "social democracy" which is the Western European model of the welfare state with its variations (one is the Scandinavian model which is, I suppose, what Bernie advocates). They should be clear and not conflate the two just because Bernie and AOC are stupidly (or not?) calling themselves socialists.

If you call yourself a socialist, you by definition support the authoritarian model of one-party rule and monopoly of power. Which actually applies best to the current crop of Rethugs and the aspiring authoritarian in the WH.

I disagree. I think one must really define the term as you intend to use it. It is simply used very broadly for a wide range of things, and there is no general agreement on it’s default meaning. For example, R404 writes: [italic] “Whenever there is actual 'socialism", there is a nationalization of the economy - for example, Eastern European socialism as it was.” [/italic] But which “Eastern European socialism“? Hungarian, where they had Goulash Socialism? Or non-aligned Yugoslavian? Or Stalinist Albanian?

There have been a lot of varieties of Socialism in practice. Without explanation, there just isn’t a way to really understand what this term is supposed to mean.

[quote]I disagree. I think one must really define the term as you intend to use it. It is simply used very broadly for a wide range of things, and there is no general agreement on it’s default meaning.

No, one cannot define a term as one intends to use it, and there very well is a default meaning. The definition of socialism is from Marxist-Leninist theory, and it always contains social ownership of the means of production, be it through nationalization of industry or collectivization of agriculture. The fundamental feature of socialism as the first stage towards communism is the abolition of private property of the means of production in order to do away with exploitation of the working class. That's the very basics of socialism in a nutshell.

[quote][R404] writes: “Whenever there is actual 'socialism", there is a nationalization of the economy - for example, Eastern European socialism as it was.” But which “Eastern European socialism“? Hungarian, where they had Goulash Socialism? Or non-aligned Yugoslavian? Or Stalinist Albanian?

Non-aligned status had to do with non-membership in blocs, not the national economy. In both Yugoslavia, Hungary and Albania the economy was nationalized. The specifics had some variations but the fundamental principle was the same - nationalization / collectivization in industry and agriculture. None of these three countries you mention kept private enterprises, especially in industry. Goulash Socialism was more about mechanisms such as decentralization in planning, trade and price setting, not about the basic principle of who owns the economy.

Social democracy, however, doesn't require abolition of private economic ownership and capitalism as an economic model. Here's the Wiki definition which is pretty much the basics:" Social democracy is a political, social, and economic ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal democratic polity and capitalist economy."

R417, the definition of “socialism” has a few possibilities, no matter what you wish. And I’m not arguing about this after this post. You need only link to a dictionary to see the multiple definitions. Other people use other definitions than you do, big surprise.

Since it has varied, though related definitions, you should specify how you are using the word if it is not obvious. Someone here has made a habit of arguing over the definition of the word. That’s boring. It’s been done.

As for Eastern Europe, Hungary, at least, had some private property for years before 1989. See the link. Cuba has it today. There are few black and white things in the human realm. Physics and math, yes, but not humans.

by Anonymousreply 425February 12, 2019 9:30 PM

R424, in the parlance of the EE socialist parties private property isn't the same as private enterprise ownership. A lot of the socialist regimes kept small private businesses like trades or shops where the owner was basically the only or one of the few/ a dozen employees and their so-called businesses were severely regulated by the state-party. Small land plots were also allowed here and there for personal use. The article about Hungary says what I said. The big changes happened in the 80's of course, with Poland and the rest.

Don't know how you missed that I specified twice already how I "use the word". It's from Marxist-Leninist theory and it's the "definition" which the communist parties put in practice where they came to power. I lived through it as a kid and had to sit through all the indoctrinating ideology classes in school, so I know what I speak of.

What a bizarre train wreck that crossover was. They apparently pieced together the LO show for the replay, with Joy replacing James Lui, but I'm not sure if she's working with the previously recorded segment with David K. Johnston, etc. or if it's a new segment altogether.

MSNBC's been having big sound problems with remotes lately, including in the Maddow show the other night. Joy's sound in the replacement show sounds a bit 'off'. Agree that James Lui did a remarkable job given the circumstances.

I wish they would stop loading the shows with so many guest that they really can't talk to any one person respectfully and give somebody time to really get their point across, Joy is having a hard time managing her huge group of talking heads this morning by stepping on each other so that you really can't hear what they are saying.

Apparently, Steve told Adam and Elise he was "exploring" what the 3rd party candidacy of Schultz might mean, and the next thing they heard was that he had been hired by Schultz and the candidacy was a likely thing - so they decided to hold his feet to the fire about how that might get Trump elected - and I don't know if they asked Schmidt about this - but Levine was upset that Schultz had called Ocasio-Cortez "un-American" for proposing a wealth tax which he says has racist undertones, a la birtherism.

Surely any politician worth his or her salt knows to tack to the middle to win - THEN try to enact your controversial plans.

And didn't Kamala also say she's fine with insurance companies going out of business? Once again... you don't SAY that, gurl! You might intend to do that, fine, but don't give them all that ammunition to go after you.

Was Deutsch really that close to Donald or was it one of those superficial relationships based on running in the same business or social circles? Deutsch ran an ad agency and I imagine he got quite a bit of business from the Trump Org and had to do a fair amount of glad-handing and brown-nosing.

I'm watching last night's Lawrence O'Donnell show and it was delicious to hear him, Tim O'Brien, and Mimi Rocha on the panel discuss the potential unraveling of the TO through RICO investigations. Deutsch said that what came up in the hearing is tip of the iceberg material...

Does Deutsch have Parkinson's? I noticed a slight head tremor and he rested his chin on his hand for a good part of the discussion as though to stabilize. The symptoms do worsen at night.
