He seems to enjoy interviewing the most extreme and preposterous right-wing guests - guys like Sam Nunberg (over and over!) and Jerome Corsi. I get wanting to be Fair and Balanced, but those tools already have a megaphone at Fox "News." Why give them any more air time?

...Melber will step in HIMSELF and offer an opposing viewpoint when a statement is too critical of Trump.

But yes, he brings these guests on, and today was an especially poor day to give Sekulow the final word.

All day he was "this is a disaster!"

No, it wasn't. The soundbites are very, very good. Most people were at work all day, and what they'll see are the soundbites later, and there really aren't any good ones for the GOP, just some Rep rantings like we hear all the time.

I think someone must have stolen Trump's twitter-phone... he's been relatively quiet.
