Opinions on Peacock's political shows?

[liberalmediaaddict]

Interested in people's views on The Majority Report w Sam Seder & Emma Vigeland and the Mehdi Hasan Show? Both stream on Peacock and YouTube. Hasan's show is now also airing Sundays on MSNBC.

I think both shows are interesting but they can be overly negative about the Biden administration and so the so called "Democratic establishment." The Majority Report is often hard to watch because in their view Bernie Sanders can do no wrong and Biden, Pelosi & Schumer are never progressive enough.

Hasan is an excellent interviewer and commenrator . He's tough on Biden & the Democrats but fair. Some of his guests are pretty extreme to the left but he pushes back with the facts and counterpoints.

It is good to have shows airing on mainstream outlers featuring many progressive Democrats and not former Republicans & Never-Trumpers.

1. Hasan is tough but really good IMO.

He's a progressive but not a Dem hater... same can't be said for Seder, who is terrible.

Hasan, like his friend Chris Hayes, does a good job at working the middle ground between the progressive wing and the establishment liberal wing.

2. 100% agree. Hasan has really impressed me. I used to like Seder

but my eyes were opened by his behaviour towards Biden in the primaries and beyond. He was openly all in for Bernie, as Chris Hayes, which is fine, but he went way beyond that when endulging in continuously attacking Biden with the Sleepy Joe shit, as well as the Tara Reade hit pushed by Sirota and the others (even some here).

3. Totally agree about Hasan & Hayes

Seder's show used to be decent and occasionally really funny. Then the Young Turks network took it over and his co-host Michael Brooks died. They really worked well together and did some great comedy bits. Emma Vigeland is a former TYT reporter and can't stand most Democrats.

5. Sam Seder never stood behind Biden.

6. I don't like Hassan or Seder...sick of the double standard for Democrats vs Republicans.

I particularly dislike Hasan and never watch his show. People like him helped Trump get elected.

a couple of his twitter posts during the primary...He hates Biden. I will never never watch anything with him on it...I have made my views known to MSNBC and stopped watching the show. I used to tape everything, but I won't watch MSNBC destroy Pres. Biden

"When Sanders was leading, a lot of ‘centrists’ and liberals said in good faith ‘it’s not that we don’t want Sanders to win but we genuinely fear he can’t or won’t win’ against Trump. Not sure why they can’t understand many on the left, with good reason! , feel the same re Biden."

"Look if Sanders is not the candidate, he isn’t the candidate. Fine. But if it *has* to be a ‘centrist’ why this centrist? Why Biden? Why not literally anyone else (except Bloomberg!): Buttigieg, Harris, Booker etc? I just don’t get it. There were so many better centrist options."

7. I heard Hasan on MSNBC yesterday

while driving to the grocery store.

He was whining on and on about the min. wage being taken out of the bill and acting like the whole thing was worthless as a result. The host breathlessly asked him if he thought AOC would hold the entire bill up because of it.

They were practically salivating at the idea. Imagine, a so-called "progressive" who wants to block progress because the resulting bill is only 90% good.

I had never even heard of him before. Don't care if I hear from him again.
