I am never watching the Weekend again. [View all] Demsrule86 Feb 2024 OP

Isn't Michael Steel a republican? Wasn't he head of the republican party? Srkdqltr Feb 2024 #1

True that. Do you know how to self delete. I edited this and posted it twice! Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #2

Click on 'powers' under the post redqueen Feb 2024 #11

And you want MSNBC to only include Democrats? brooklynite Feb 2024 #27

I don't think a MNBC should pile on Joe Biden the day after he won a primary decisvely and give Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #46

And your opinion is that one person's comment is "piling on"? brooklynite Feb 2024 #57

Two people -- Michael Steele and Dean Phillips. whathehell Feb 2024 #58

Not at all. I have heard him on shows a lot. I have no problem with his opinions. Srkdqltr Feb 2024 #63

Michael Steele is like most Republican Never Trumpers .. agingdem Feb 2024 #60

I missed that segment, but honestly the three thrown together as hosts seems really forced... hlthe2b Feb 2024 #3

It really wasnt good. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #18

Yup. Joy has him on frequently too. I turn it. I'm over that recon lover. onecaliberal Feb 2024 #4

Fast forward because i like Joy. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #19

The Phillips interview was disappointing Raven123 Feb 2024 #5

Phillips is just... 2naSalit Feb 2024 #6

Sure, but call him out. Raven123 Feb 2024 #9

Agreed... 2naSalit Feb 2024 #12

Dean Phillips definitely has a questionable agenda. patphil Feb 2024 #43

Does Phillips want Trump to win? Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #7

Sure had me wondering. Raven123 Feb 2024 #14

Right? Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #21

Praising Donald Trump will likely end his career in Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #8

Good!! TSExile Feb 2024 #13

I agree. I cant stand him. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #22

He also said 'Biden can't win'....it's you dean who got less than 2% spanone Feb 2024 #53

I wonder how Medhi Hasan would've handled the Phillips interview? Fiendish Thingy Feb 2024 #10

I miss Mehdi, too. TSExile Feb 2024 #15

Mhedi would have blamed Biden for the Gaza war. comradebillyboy Feb 2024 #17

I thought Mehdi was very good and watched his show. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #23

Mehdi's removal was cowardly, and a crude power play. Shabby, raw, ignorant behavior from MSNBC. Judi Lynn Feb 2024 #33

I will agree Deuxcents Feb 2024 #35

I heard that in my car... maptap22 Feb 2024 #16

I was livid myself and he had a nasty expression as well on TV. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #24

None of them are really what I would call a "favorite" commentator of mine... Wounded Bear Feb 2024 #20

I will not watch Michael steele. I like Simone but just no to this show. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #25

I don't hate him, but I do know where he's coming from... Wounded Bear Feb 2024 #26

Michael Steele has gone to the dark side IMHO...he helped Trump today...I find Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #47

I like Simone too, and at one time I had hope for Michael S spooky3 Feb 2024 #56

This is the problem of MSNBC in general: GreenWave Feb 2024 #28

I give Mika a lot of credit for banning KellyAnn Conway for her "alternative facts" remark early on in the Trump CTyankee Feb 2024 #34

When Phillips said TFG listened better than Biden, I almost threw the remote at the TV. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #48

But how will people be able to complain about it if they don't watch regularly? brooklynite Feb 2024 #29

when I watch Michael Steele I always remember he is a Republican, hydrolastic Feb 2024 #30

Michael is triangulating Blue Idaho Feb 2024 #37

I believe this is only the 2nd week for this program, think they should be given adequate time to get their bearings. Judi Lynn Feb 2024 #31

Agreed!! TSExile Feb 2024 #66

OK. Thanks for letting us know... MineralMan Feb 2024 #32

I saw Steele on the "Bulwark" podcast this morning and I thought he made some great points Bucky Feb 2024 #36

To be honest claudette Feb 2024 #38

She wasn't at her best today. That is for sure. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #52

Steele rarely adds anything constructive or particularly insightful to panel discussions. Gidney N Cloyd Feb 2024 #39

I'm with you. They go on and on and on about whatever new poll says that is bad for Biden and Vinca Feb 2024 #40

Exactly! Shame on them for bringing Quakerfriend Feb 2024 #44

A black Republican in 2024 is an intentionally aberrant political "coquette" with questionable aims and motivations. jaxexpat Feb 2024 #41

You are right...and IMHO, he should not be hosting shows. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #55

Yeah and I also fantasize that Fox will open their entertainment programs with a disclaimer. jaxexpat Feb 2024 #62

Television news and opinion is worthless. hunter Feb 2024 #42

True, I get most of news and ideas here on DU or by looking a poll internals...also Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #50

I was amused by the "What the hell are you doing?" clip LetMyPeopleVote Feb 2024 #45

That was the best clip and then it went downhill from there. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #49

The interview with Marc Elias on the 14th Amendment SCOTUS disqualification case was great LetMyPeopleVote Feb 2024 #65

The fact that MS is on the panel is enough for me senseandsensibility Feb 2024 #51

I am starting to feel that way. Dean Phillips said TFG listened better than Biden, he Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #54

Agree. I so looked forward to Veshi in the morning. bluestarone Feb 2024 #59

I think Velshi gets treated like dirt...Menendez is not good. I don't like Jen Psaki that much either. Demsrule86 Feb 2024 #64

Their opinions aren't even backed up by a poll.... LakeArenal Feb 2024 #61
