What's up with the #FireChrisHayes that is trending

[redstateblues]

[The Magistrate]

1. Boy Messed Up, Sir

Took a flier on Reade being a credible accuser.

Poorly timed, as well as stupid.

People don't like it, and there is no reason they should.

He needs to learn to do better, or find other work.

[mcar]

2. He looks quite foolish now

Doesn't he?

[Cha]

25. I hope it affects his ratings. I saw a response from

him at the hill and he's acting like he did nothing wrong.

[Maru Kitteh]

42. Just like a Bro to take a page from the Trump playbook.

Wish I was surprised about this from Hayes, but I'm not. He's immature and shall we say, very oriented to self?

[mzmolly]

3. Yep.

I'm unsure how much time he's provided to Trump accusers?

[Blue_true]

18. Likely none.

He has a disturbing habit of inviting rightwing talkers on his show and allowing them to run wild. Neither Nicole, Lawrence or Rachel does that.

[Me.]

23. During THe First Week Of Him Being On The Air

he had a rwer on, Tim Carney from the Washington Examiner (and who was a frequent guest for a time), and he spoke of PBO as your president which Chris didn't catch and was shocked when he got criticism for not calling Carney out on that.

[Butterflylady]

7. I really thought Chris Hayes was better than that.

Boy was I ever wrong.

[Gothmog]

14. Hayes really misreported the facts

6. I mainly thought of him as an early Biden basher. I quit watching him black then

[ms liberty]

8. The short version is that some people think he's not sufficiently loyal enough

They didn't like his piece on the Tara Reade story from the other night so now they think he should be fired. I am not of that opinion. I don't expect my news or media to only present pieces that I agree with completely. I also like Chris Hayes and think he's fine.

[Raine]

9. Agree, I don't go for loyalty oaths👎

plus I like Hayes and I don't mind hearing different sides of an issue.

[rufus dog]

10. What is the other side of the issue?

[Gothmog]

16. Here are Joe Biden's comments on the Tara Reide story

[rufus dog]

24. Yup

I know Biden’s side. Trying to figure out what the other side is for Hayes and the accuser.

[Hekate]

43. The "other side" is to treat a proven liar as factual & credible while murdering Biden's reputation

A minor detail.

Also Hayes smirked his way through the episodes.

[rufus dog]

44. I agree with you

Just hoping the poster answered.

[Hekate]

45. We've got two people in the thread so pure they think this is about loyalty oaths. Where oh where...

...have we heard that dreck before?

[Me.]

11. He Didn't Present Different Sides

while he and his guest grinned their way through the story.

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. Thank you. nt

[Blue_true]

20. Please get off your high horse.

If you believe that Chris Hayes presented a "different side of the story", honestly, IMO, no one should on you to make the rational decisions that will be required to defeat Trump in November and get this country back to a state of sane leadership.

[Me.]

22. That's The Advice Mika Gave To HRC In 2016

though she didn't say please

[Cha]

30. Guess What? No one is asking you to go for a "loyalty oath"..

Hayes presented a one sided story with a shit eating grin. People have a right to be upset.

That's not journalism. .it's Propaganda.

15. Hayes ran a story that was not close to accurate

[ms liberty]

38. So now we're all supposed to be okay with the Palmer Report? Lol.

It keeps changing. Who can keep up?

[Blue_true]

19. He allowed lies to be broadcast. He should have done his homework and didn't.

In an age where we will be having to defeat a liar over the next few months and his supporters, we don't need someone likeChris Hayes allowing lies to run rampant, and even promoting them.

[Demsrule86]

28. I don't expect My news or media to present lies either. Chris is hoping to destroy Joe and get

Sanders in...always was in the tank for Sanders, and he attacked Biden all during the primary. I think he needs to fired if he keeps this up. He presented the story as fact...and attacked the New York Times because they did not find Reade credible. No one who has looked into this has found her credible. Hayes was undoubtedly aware of this. But he presented her lies as facts. He looks worse today after his whining on the subject and with the additional information that has come out about Reade. By the way Sanders is not involved in this. He has moved on which I appreciate.

[Cha]

31. BULL.. Chris Hayes did a one sided story with a shit eating

grin on his face.. that's Not journalism it's Propaganda.

[Drunken Irishman]

36. Bullshit. Hayes presented a hit job on Biden without even questioning the claims.

It was an entirely one-sided affair that you'd expect on FOX News.

He could have presented her story but also where there's legitimate concerns about her overall changing story.

He didn't.

[Trumpocalypse]

41. No the short version is he cherry-picked the facts

in order to slant the story against Biden.

[Happy Hoosier]

46. It's not about loyalty....

Hayes presented Reade’s accusations as credible with no mention of her very significant credibility issues. That’s not honest.

[Gothmog]

13. Here are some reasons why this is trending

29. I tweeted this to Cupp..

You "grow up".. Chris Hayes presented a one sided story with a shit eating grin. It was completely biased. That's Not "journalism" it's propaganda.

I think this denial of Hayes and his supporters is just going to make Dems more mad.

[JHB]

17. Professional negligence serving RW ratfucking.

Given the general state of media I don't necessarily agree with the "Fire" part (because his replacement would be much much worse) but he does deserve a harsh rebuke for the laziness of his framing.

[Blue_true]

21. I don't agree that his replacement would be worse at all.

There are plenty of people that can take over that hour and do a better job with both accuracy and challenging rightwing bullshit.

33. He uncritically promoted a now-debunked claim

He deserves to be fired. The media must be held accountable for spreading accusations without doing research before publishing them.

[RhodeIslandOne]

35. Lawrence O Donnell could have been fired for a story about....

....banks that lended to Trump and associates when they did not. He ran with one unverified source. He wasn’t fired, but I’m guessing you think he should have?

[RhodeIslandOne]

34. He took one for the team so MSNBC wouldn't be accused of ignoring....

....the Biden story.

There are those here who only want to be the choir and didn’t like it.

[ms liberty]

37. He didn't just take one just for the MSNBC team though

He also put a big spotlight on the story and pushed Joe Biden to publicly make an unequivocal statement and interview about it. Joe chose Mika to speak to, and she did her best to make him look bad, because that's how Mika rolls: she gives passes to the real a**es but wants to destroy the good guys like Biden. He did a fine job, and then went on to kick ass on all the other questions they asked.
I think the story has advanced quite a bit since his piece, and in a way that is helpful to Joe. Tara Reade is being exposed on a national scale, and her numerous inconsistencies, past behavior and actions are now being scrutinized. This will help make this story old news by midsummer. That's what we want, is for this story to be resolved sooner rather than later. Chris Hayes helped push us there.

39. There is an attempt to start boycott of advertisers on Hayes show
