In reply to the discussion: 'What's Happening at MSNBC?' [View all]Mr. Mustard 2023
(257 posts)I learn more by reading on-line than listening to talking heads repeat the same point for a day or six. However, Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid, Nicolle Wallace and Lawrence O'Donnell provide a good service, imo because they are at least disagreeing with D.C. and saying the words "Republicans are wrong, or lying" and provide videos for us to use on line.
Very few media sources say those words, so having them do it is invaluable imo.
With that said, the morning and afternoon line up of MSNBC are a joke. They're freaking Republicans, and the carnival barker took them out in one election cycle, yet they're lecturing Dems on how to play hardball?
Speaking of "hardball" I remember very well this moment from Chris Matthews:
"Is Hillary Clinton showing too much cleavage? Let's play Hardball."
Then I remember Stephanie Ruhle being asked about how seniors can get screwed if their 401k's collapse as they are about to retire. She answered like a good Wall St toadie by ignoring the question and saying "Wall Street historically provides at least a 10% profit". That's what she said!
Andrea Mitchell is insufferable. Stephanie is not a friend of the working class and good old Michael Steele is 'oh so tough and rugged' he got fired by the RNC and as I said earlier, Trump wiped the floor with Bush era Republicans in one election cycle. Yet Michael Steele is in the know? Nope.
Same with Rick Wilson. I like Rick and he tried but The Lincoln Project was going to "show us Dems how messaging is done" and we have the deadbeat felon again.
Sure MSNBC. Sure Bush/Reagan Republicans - uh huh. Or better said "Okay Boomer".
