No Chris Hayes, we're unhappy that you were sloppy with the reporting not that you ran the story

[uponit7771]

Context, Christ has is trying to defend his sloppy reporting of Reade Story last night


Strawman argument noted

Reade wasn't credible and you even under reported how ... NOT ... credible she is tonight by only outlined 3 aspects of how her story is screwed up.

You got me looking last night Chris its time to own up to not reporting the EXTENT of why people don't believe Reade and why the false equivalency to Ford wasn't called for.


STOP THE SLOPPY REPORTING !!!

[BigmanPigman]

1. I didn't watch him over the past few days

due to what fellow Duers have reported. I do not support BS from anyone!

[FarPoint]

2. I won't watch him..

Nope..I won't.....due to this Biden reporting.

[qazplm135]

3. I was fine with his first two points

his last one gave real short shrift to the problems with her credibility as just being "trashing her character."

[uponit7771]

4. +1, IINM she literally texted "timing ... look for it ..." or something close. If this was Ford no

... support having her go under oath.

[OAITW r.2.0]

6. That's my take as well.

Chris is pretty good on his reporting, but he got too far ahead of this story with very little facts. He ought to know the Republican game plan by this point. We've seen in play out for the last 20 years.

[qazplm135]

9. he's very passionate about me too

and so he feels a strong aversion to anything he thinks is attacking any woman who comes out with these claims.

Which is a decent baseline, but he just takes it too far IMO. This isn't an ordinary claim. There are extraordinary problems with it.

[Demsrule86]

18. Baloney...he just hates Biden and wants Sanders as the nominee...he acted badly the entire primary.

I found him and still find him unwatchable.

[qazplm135]

24. oh good grief

you boil everything down into black and white don't you.

[Demsrule86]

27. I deal in truth...which often is black and white. Ask any Biden supporter and they will tell you

Chris Hayes was in the tank for Sanders all during the primary. He launched attack after attack. Super Tuesday was great as it became clear to Chris and others that Biden with little money and most of the media against him won it all.

[qazplm135]

28. nah

truth is usually shades of gray, not absolutism.

[Demsrule86]

29. I watched enough of Chris Hayes to state there is no grey here...he was in the tank for Sanders from

day 1.

[Green Line]

37. Yes he was

I’m done with him and most of MSNBC

[Demsrule86]

31. That is your opinion. Mine is different. I hope Hayes is replaced because I find his show

unwatchable.

[radical noodle]

35. Bingo!

I stopped watching him months ago for this very reason.

[MFM008]

5. i just caught that

...................

[oasis]

7. "Sloppy" walk back as well. Stop digging Chris, you screwed up.Bigtime.

[Cha]

10. Aloha, oasis.. did you see it? So Hayes

knows he blew it and is trying to excuse it?

Mahalo!

[oasis]

13. Hayes had the nerve to show a bit of indignation at the end

of his presentation.

He's earned a permanent spot on my s---list.

[Cha]

16. Welcome to my

World. Thank you!

[Demsrule86]

25. Yeah Like he is the victim I suppose.

[oasis]

32. Haye's putting guilt trip on those dimissive of Reade's accusations.

He's pissed because of the massive public outcry about his lame hit job on Biden yesterday.

#FireChrisHayes, or something similar went viral. Now Hayes is scrambling to "clean up on aisle 6".

Credibilty deficit.

[Demsrule86]

19. There can be no excuse for misleading people deliberately all the while giggling and acting like a

jerk. Terrible apology non-apology. How are you? This too shall pass...look at what they tried in the primary. I don't watch MSNBc anymore.

[Cha]

8. That's what I said yesteday.. Biden Supporters weren't

upset because he reported on tara reade.. it was the way he did it.. with his shit eating grin.

[uponit7771]

12. What was up with that? I stayed out of primaries after SC ... was he really a Sanders nut? tia

[Cha]

14. He always has been.

[Demsrule86]

20. He was always in the tank for Sanders.

[Maru Kitteh]

11. He's too much of a Bro to admit he was full of crap. Which he is.

[Rebl2]

15. I hope

he loses so many viewers he gets replaced. Haven’t cared for him for a long while. He is like Chris Matthews and talks over his guests. Time for you to go mr. Hayes!!!!!

[The Magistrate]

17. Fella Needs To Straighten Up And Fly Right, Sir

We must make sure everyone knows we are having none of it, shame any on our side who try and pretend there's something to this swill, and blanket 'news' outlets who try and peddle these lies with angry protests and threats of boycott --- anything short of actual threats of lethal violence.

Show-boat talking heads playing 'balance' as if the Golden Mean were not a logical fallacy need to learn fear of social consequences. There are a damned sight more of us than there are of them, and we need to come together and make this plain.

The time for this sort of crap is over. They cannot ruin our leaders without our help, and we need to get this through our collective heads. Well-meaning, good-hearted people who tend to the left need to learn not to allow their better natures to be taken advantage of by vicious scum on the right, and splinterest wreckers on the far left, who enlist them in their charges against figures of the center left, by exhorting them to 'be consistent' and telling them 'don't be hypocrites'. The proper response to attempts at this is a hearty "Fuck off! Nobody cares what a rancid piece of dogshit like you thinks!" Or words to that effect....

Only attack the enemy, the christo-fascist right.

Never, ever, attack people who are on your side.

If you want one quick reason why the right wing wields power well out of proportion to the popularity of its policies, it is that they adhere to this rule, and we on the left do not.


"Defeat of a dangerous enemy is something to be for."

[Demsrule86]

21. He is not the only one. Ari, Mika (this morning) and Andrea have all attacked Biden on this story

pretending it has facts backing it up...it doesn't. And I laughed my butt of after learning the neighbor was 'helped' by Tara to remember being told. if someone told me they were raped, I would remember. And I sure as hell would not support the rapist politically. I am sure Tara 'helped' her bother as well.

[The Magistrate]

26. True, Ma'am, He Is Not Alone

The others catch plenty of flak, but Hayes gets more because is considered a leftist, and has been in the field more or less against Mr. Biden thoroughout the primary season. People expect more of him, and catch a whiff of sour grapes in his attitude. Mr. Melber is not taken too seriously, even as a music fan, and Mrs. Greenspan is a known quantity, a legacy pundit dedicated to 'Cokie's Rule' that what is talked about has to be talked about because if it wasn't, why would people be talking about it, and so on and so on till sense and judgement disappear up the babbling pundit's own fundament....

[Demsrule86]

30. Very true...I agree with your analysis. Hayes behaved badly the entire primary...he showed no

objectivity and was clearly in the tank for Sen. Sanders.

[PatSeg]

34. I suppose that isn't too surprising

The media has never been very kind to Biden. Most of the time, he's been a lame punchline. Hopefully, they'll get a clue and realize that he really is the nominee and most likely the next President of the United States. Meanwhile, it looks like they are doing the same crap they did to Hillary in 2016.

[DrToast]

22. He should cut his losses

I have a feeling this is all going to unravel and he’s going to look even worse.

[Demsrule86]

23. The story stinks...the only question is who put her up to this?

[marble falls]

33. I think requiring fairness and balance is a fair and balanced request. Its the least we should ...

expect from our news sources.

[Galraedia]

36. Can't believe MSNBC replaced Ed Schultz with this idiot.

Chris Hayes is so boring the only time slot he should be on is between 11PM-12AM. MSNBC can call it The Cure for Insomnia Hour.

[Gothmog]

38. Chris Hayes dis a horrible job on this story

Link to tweet

[uponit7771]

39. +1, Karen Tumuluty's continuing the sloppiness by saying "Teara Reades story has echos of Kavanaugh"

... no it doesn't

Biden invites an investigation Kavanaugh did not

[helpisontheway]

40. He wants Biden disqualified so Sanders can be the nominee. Nt
