I Just Switched To CNN From MSNBC.....

[global1]

I won't/can't watch Chuck and Andria. I sure wish MSNBC gets the message that whenever they have those two on - that people immediately turn off on MSNBC.

[Deuxcents]

1. So did I

[Mike Nelson]

2. Me, too...

... I was late and caught a glimpse of them, sadly.

[samnsara]

3. i like CNN...but right now Im on the Weather Channel checking out our snow cast

[redstatebluegirl]

4. Me too, just can't tolerate either one.

[Quemado]

5. I did the same thing several months ago.

There are several good shows and anchors on MSNBC, but, at the end of the day, IMO, CNN’s anchors and shows are superior to those of MSNBC.

[Funtatlaguy]

15. Brianna Keillar (sp?) needs a prime time slot.

[iluvtennis]

22. ++++ agree Brianna is excellent - smart, thorough, hold folks accountable in interviews. nt

[Politicub]

34. Same. CNN has been great over the past year.

I don’t know why people are still complaining about Chuck Todd and not just changing the channel.

It seems like there’s a daily thread about Todd.

People: just. stop. watching. him.

[ProfessorGAC]

52. We Did The Same

My wife & I both see CNN as our go to.
She watches it more than I (and I'm not a "seldom" viewer), because I read a lot of news here.
It's been a few years.
Their afternoons are excellent, IMO.

[SoonerPride]

6. They are awful individually and together just a toxic stew of terrible

[samsingh]

7. i did the exact same thing! i finished a call looked up and saw chuck slimy face and immediately

switched to CNN

[USALiberal]

8. Why announce it? Nt

[Turin_C3PO]

26. Because this is a political discussion board?

[USALiberal]

47. Lol, so every time I get annoyed by a reporter I should post it?? Nt

[obnoxiousdrunk]

39. What ....

I'm looking forward to the same thread tomorrow.

[Atticus]

9. So did I. nt

[Paladin]

10. To hell with both of them.

I hope this no-watch movement catches on---I'm certainly doing my part. Lousy show ratings may finally force MSNBC to get rid of both of them...like they should have, years ago.

[Wawannabe]

11. When I was watching yesterday

I was tuned to NBC. During the recess they were discussing the then said they were gonna bring in Chuck Toad. I switched to CBS.

[Funtatlaguy]

17. I'm the same way with Steve Kornacki. Unwatchable.

[USALiberal]

48. He is great! Knows his stuff! Nt

[aggiesal]

51. I don't mind Steve Kornacki, but I'd wish he'd wear better clothes. ...

I'm getting tired of the dockers look.
He looks like he wears the exact same clothes for every appearance.

I can put up with him for short periods as long as he's providing good numbers.
But if he had a 30 minute show, even 10 minute, I couldn't put up with him.

[USALiberal]

53. Really? His clothes bothers you? Lighten up! Nt

[aggiesal]

54. Yes, they do ...

because he wears the exact same outfit every time, literally!

[USALiberal]

55. And why do you care? Nt

[aggiesal]

57. Because he's supposed to be professional ...

and wearing the same clothes for every appearance does not look professional.

It's like the old IBM days, where everyone had 3 dark blue suits with 3 white shirts.
1 - Wearing (Today)
1 - In the closet (Tomorrow)
1 - At the cleaners (Day after tomorrow)

None of the other hosts or anchors, on every other channel, wear the same clothes for every appearance.

Every time they introduce Steve Kornacki, I cringe to see his outfit, and of course it's the same.

So YES! It bothers me.

[USALiberal]

59. LOL,ok! I think it is more of an issue with you! Nt

[aggiesal]

60. Yup, that's right, just keep insulting DU members for having a different opinion. n/t

[USALiberal]

61. You insulted him because you his clothes, no difference! Nt

[aggiesal]

63. Huge difference. Steve Kornacki is not part of the DU membership. ...

Besides, he's considered a celebrity of sorts, so he should be open to constructive criticism.

[marmar]

12. Ditto. Putting Chuck and Andrea together is a guaranteed ratings killer.

[uponit7771]

13. K&R, I did the same thing ... I didn't know this was a thing I just can't stand those two and their

... consummate strained attempts at both-sideism

[sfstaxprep]

14. I Switched Post Haste!!

Now when I go to work, and leave the TV on for my doggie, it will be on CNN the rest of day.

I bet there are still those who like these Morons, but obviously they don't have many, if any, fans here on DU.

[sfstaxprep]

16. We Should Be Extremely Thankful

By putting them both together, we don't have to switch back and forth between the intelligent hosts like Nicole Wallace & Ali Velshi, and Morons like Toad & Mrs. Greenspan, hosting their own individual shows.

[drbtg1]

49. I was thinking along those same lines.

Having those two together increases my efficiency to ignore them. Excellent display of multi-tasking!

[Bev54]

18. I switched as well but have now gone back

Brian Williams and Nicole Wallace are back!

[tiredtoo]

19. Me Too! switched to CNN. NT

[Greybnk48]

20. I did too. I just can't do that during something so important. I'm back

on MSNBC now with Nicole, Claire, Michael, and Brian.

[sarcasmo]

21. Ratings are all MSNBC corporate will understand.

[ancianita]

23. Seriously. I'm sick of them both.

[Baltimike]

24. me too. nt

[Duppers]

25. Same here! Cannot stand either of them.

👍

[Sugarcoated]

27. Horrible giving that Repub Congresswoman a platform to lie and dissemble

I rarely ever watch them....that's all I needed to see. NEVER again. I also dislike Craig Melvin.

[Lars39]

28. I'm on abc live...no commentary at all

[George II]

29. I've had a problem with both of them the last couple of weeks. They're way over analyzing this.

[pwb]

30. C-Span has no talkers.

I like that.

[judesedit]

31. Me, too. That's why I stopped watching altogether.

You rarely get just the facts or news. It's all about the ratings, so it's just full of opinions that create controversy. And the fact that some things are totally taboo or you're fired if you speak about it is fishy from the git go to me. So, I don't watch. Even Sirius progressive radio is under this rule. Although I do listen to that, because we're presented with facts. And I loved Air America when Rachel, Randi, Al, Thom, Lionel, Stephanie, Ed, Marc, Jim, Sam and the rest of the great progressive personalities were on. I could go on...but won't. MSNBC still better than Faux Noise by a long shot.

[Girl powers]

32. Andrea & Chucky

Me too!

[jalan48]

33. Those two are impossible to watch. CNN has some good anchors-Erin Burnett does a good job in the

afternoon.

[Chicagogrl1]

35. Agreed

Turn them off every single time!!!

[hlthe2b]

36. Why watch at all until 10AM. Then Brian Willams & Nicole Wallace take over--both are good

Last edited Thu Feb 11, 2021, 01:44 PM - Edit history (1)

On edit, I meant 10AM my time (MT)--i.e., 12 noon ET.

[ace3csusm]

40. I m with you i go straight to CNN now in Morning

and switch back after they are off i cant stand them either...

[Tommymac]

37. I'll watch MSNBC as long as Toad and 'What's her name' are not on.

The evening hosts are from good to awesome.

Even though Nicolle is a bit conservative overall for my tastes, she is competent and fair as far as her reporting goes. She makes me think. As do all the nighttime hosts.

OTH, Toad and 'What's her name' make me puke. Blitzer does too, but he has become a bitter caricature of his old peacock self.

[sarcasmo]

42. I emailed MSNBC today and said the same thing, No Todd, No Mitchell.

[e-mail]

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

38. Any chance your TV has an OFF switch?

I don't get why so many people have their set on all the time. Honestly, turn it off. Go for a walk. Read a book.

[marble falls]

45. ... smoke a joint. Don't mind if I do. Andrea is trying too hard to be 'fair', Chucks just ...

... a garden variety dick-head and needs to move on.

[BlueJac]

41. Ditto

[bucolic_frolic]

43. These two have a history on the network

but they don't fit in like they did 10 years ago.

[monkeyman1]

44. ABC DOING JUST FINE !! GOOD OL' SRTAIGHT WATCHING !!!

[aggiesal]

46. I agree. I really enjoy Stephanie, Hallie & Katie, ...

but when C & A come on, I change the channel.

[CaptYossarian]

50. Imagine my surprise last night...

I wanted to watch some normal people for a change, so I switched to the Munsters at 6 pm.

Instead, COZI had Chuck Todd. What a disappointment!

I muted it until Herman and Lily showed up at 6:41. I'm persistent that way.

[JohnnyRingo]

56. I'm in the minority here that like both of them.

You could amend that to "people in DU immediately turn off MSNBC".

They don't always report from a lefty spin, but they're far from conservative media. I fear living in a liberal bubble full of good news and candy canes for Democrats.

Fox News I can't stand, I'm afraid a remote will end up through the screen. Do an hour of that, and you'll switch to Andrea and Chuck in a second.

[lame54]

58. I just switched from CNN to MSNBC...

62. I like PBS because it has a simple uncluttered

screen, even less than cspan, and the News Hour team is fine.
