(9,951 posts)... Mr. Todd. I like several... but I'll have to say Joy Reid because I love it when she calls out "Tuckums" on something!

(10,167 posts)She's a bit hyper (typical over achiever; two steps ahead of everyone else).

(102,225 posts)Chuck Todd is an ill-informed, "bothsiderist," moron that should never have gotten MTP if not for his backstabbing of David Gregory and his brown-nosing to the 'Nth" degree of former host Tim Russert. I'll leave it there, but I could go on and on and on.

I'd rather listen to Nicolle Wallace over anybody. After Nicolle, it's John Heilemann.
But whatever any MSNBC show host or moderator reveals, always makes sense to me and accurately depicts what's going on in the country and around the world.

I don't have cable but I stream Roku's msnbc's streaming network. which does include chucky cheese, but I don't watch him, cuz I can't stand to listen to him.
I do like Joshua Johnson (I think is his name) I'd prefer him to almost any of their cable "personalities".
I like his intellectual honesty when interviewing and his intelligent questions.
He's neither self effacing nor narcissistic/egotistical. And I have never heard a condescending tone from him.
He's easy on the eye, but especially the ear. I appreciate the tone he uses whether he's addressing viewers or interviewing guests.
I especially like that he doesn't assume viewers are mostly 6th graders, who might require repeatedly stated openers or redundantly restating of a certain fact in the same breath.
Anyway, Joshua Johnson is who I prefer. I hope I have his name correct. Roku's msnbc livestream.

(3,818 posts)I always try to watch Lawrence when the media is discussing legislation happening that day, or other Capitol Hill issues. He always seems to have the best explanation for how things will shake out.
