Did you ever hear Brian Williams telling us how many minutes the Slobfather was late

[malaise]

for a press briefing?
I like punctuality and I used to raise it but I don't ever remember him mentioning it.

[Mad_Machine76]

1. Didn't they train their cameras

on empty podiums all the time?

[luvs2sing]

2. I figure when Joe is late..

he has a good reason.

With TFG, he was either having a tantrum or they were drugging/oranging him up.

[Wounded Bear]

3. Brian was working the night crew for most of trump's intrusion...

I don't think he had the chance to note that. The daytime hosts mentioned it all the time.

[ecstatic]

4. Why is he on in the first place? I would prefer to see

Nicolle, Joy, Rachel, or Lawrence.

[malaise]

5. Here comes PResident Biden n/t

[W_HAMILTON]

6. Tapper just did the same shit.

Something about how "the president is never on time," said so flippantly.

They really are letting their true colors show during all of this.

7. stop watching cnn I just did so

Disappointed with them can longer support them

[malaise]

8. Owned and controlled by MIC

andof course the corporate billionaires are very upset about having to pay Federal taxes to help finance infrastructure

[jrthin]

9. +1 You've said it all!

[Bev54]

10. Not like he has nothing going on or late coming back from the golf course

He is literally keeping up with everything going on in Afghanistan, if it doesn't suit them that he is working, well fuck'em

[JonAndKatePlusABird]

19. Tapper sucks

Comes off to me as someone who thinks being a contrarian is all that’s needed. His smarmy, smug attitude drives me crazy.

11. I just hit mute until President Biden speaks.

[Greybnk48]

12. Everyone on MSNBC is pissing me off lately except Lawrence!

It must be "take all of your aggression out on Joe Biden" month for the corporate media.

I'm shocked I'm saying this. I am probably one of the most faithful MSNBC viewers in the history of the channel, but they keep setting me off!

[AngryOldDem]

13. Brian loves to hear his own voice.

The man, really, should not have a job in journalism after the stunt he pulled while anchoring the Nightly News, but I digress.

I seem to recall, though, that some did note Trump’s tardiness when it was getting to be a joke, but not counting the literal seconds like they do with Biden.

They will pick on Biden for every pissant thing.

14. It's the classic response they love to use, malaise.

If you can't attack the message, attack the messenger.


It's all they've got.

15. I don't remember Williams in particular saying anything.

But I do remember CNN bringing it up frequently. A friend and I had a bet on his tardiness.

[malaise]

16. The Slobfather was late for every press conference

Every single one

[Treefrog]

17. I know. I won a lot of money.

I saw numerous CNN anchors talk about it.

It’s like no one here can hear the good things they’re saying about the president. I’ve heard Cooper, Maddox, O’Donnell, Lemon, Acosta, and many others say laudatory things about this president.

This airlift has been, and continues to be, historic. Biden will be appreciated in history.

Why is everyone losing their shit about the news media? Nothing new here.

Don’t watch if you can’t handle occasional criticism. Smh.

18. All the MSM does that with Bush (at least at the end), Obama, Rump, and now Biden

I was four years old when Clinton left office, so no real knowledge there, and didn't see much of Bush live until the end of his second term, other than a couple big speeches that my parents suggested I watch, if I was even awake (London and all that).
