He is the ONLY person now on MSNBC who I can watch anymore. He is the ONLY person with any guts, and brains, now.

(3,182 posts)I have since the Presidential Debate. There's lots of great Criminal Minds re-runs on to watch instead of those fools.
I don't intend to turn on any "news" shows until after the election. I'll probably watch election night so I can see the Republican heads explode when Obama wins.

If so, what for? I missed it.

(73 posts)They switched their tune leading into the debate ,And lost their minds after the debate ,and are fighting fixed news for ratings.
I personally decided to Boycott Racheal Maddow,Ed Shultz ,Chris Mathews ,all the Republican shows ,Morning Joe,The cycle,
Andrea Mittwit ,And I hope their ratings start tanking so much that they see their support doesnt come from Rethugicans but Liberals who have skin in this Game ,I suggest we all send them a message I will not be watching the debate tonight on Media,Saturated,News,by,Corporations (M.S.N.B.C. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(3,526 posts)....but the rest of the folks on MSNBC have turned into people I no longer want to watch. Big Head Ed and Tweety totally lost it during the last debate and behaved like two-year-olds on a tantrum bender.

(46,436 posts)I was so angry at them. Perception is such a big part of "reality." I think the commentators did a lot to fuel the perception that Obama lost the debate in a big way when in fact it was pretty much a draw (in my opinion, anyway). Sure, the president could have been a bit more animated and maybe called out Mitt's lies more effectively, but it was far from the disaster that the pundits declared.

(2,117 posts)They, along with Lawrence O'Donnell, are now the three best and most credible MSNBC hosts. The rest are playing the make-it-close-until-election-day-to-make-more-money game, being led by Chris "WHERE WAS OBAMA?" Matthews and Ed "born-again Republican" Schulz. These two guys have become so dramatic it's almost funny. Even Maddow is playing this game, citing Gravis polls to make Romney look even better than he actually is. I try to catch Politics Nation now if I am in front of a TV at the 6:00 hour and The Last Word at the 10:00 hour. I rarely can catch Martin Bashir, unfortunately, and I don't have a DVR or anything like that.

(169,757 posts)I have to race home to try to watch Bashir and am often forced to listen to him on SiriusXM streamed to my phone on my commute.
It has been a joy to watch him slicing and dicing rethugs and bringing so-called "left-leaning" pundit guests back to reality when they suddenly start spouting RW talking points.

(9,463 posts)I realized he was famous for the infamous Michael Jackson interview and I thought "Meh, whatever." Now he is my favorite of all media talkers. I really look forward to his hour.
HockeyMom
(14,337 posts)based on just one thing. I first "knew" Sharpton from NY and Tawana Bradley. Over the years, I got to know him better and better. The more I knew, the better I liked him.

ChisolmTrailDem
(9,463 posts)There's a new pundit of late named Irin Carmon of Salon.com. Young, very smart, and very hard on the opposition. She has this delightful demeanor after she concludes her comment that dares anyone to challenge what she just said. She's one to watch.

(4,186 posts)And repeat Martin and Al later at night for those of us who can't watch them ..

(169,757 posts)They should put Bashir on at 7 and get rid of Tweety's repeat.
