1. OK.. so now we hate on Velshi? For why?

[elleng]

4. Thanks

[dchill]

2. I'm NOT seeing that at all.

[elleng]

3. Thanks

[dchill]

5. And I'M watching.

Ali Velshi has never, in my experience, unfairly criticized ANY Democrat or Democratic initiative.

[elleng]

7. Ditto

[USALiberal]

10. +1000

[demmiblue]

13. +1

[Hekate]

6. Not seeing that

?

[USALiberal]

8. Not true at all! Nt

[BlueIdaho]

9. So it turns out HE is the new MSNBC Prime show?

Pass.

[USALiberal]

11. What is your issue? Nt

[BlueIdaho]

14. Just another male TV talking head

Regurgitating the same top five or six MSNBC News stories ad nauseam.

[USALiberal]

15. It's obvious that you have not really watched his show.

[BlueIdaho]

16. It's obvious your opinion differs from mine.

[State the Obvious]

23. Obviously, Ali Velshi is one of the best.

I'm with him. And I respect his professionalism and integrity.

[AntivaxHunters]

28. He's also Muslim & A POC

Would you prefer Nicole Wallace, a white conservative woman?
I don't know about you BUT Velshi is the best thing MSNBC has IMO

[BlueIdaho]

29. I would prefer if we picked people

On the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.

[Tickle]

33. agree, thank you nt

31. Rachel Maddow's team are producing MSNBC Prime.

[spooky3]

17. I may have misunderstood, but Monday I thought

He said Rachel would do Monday shows, but there wouldn’t be just one host of the remaining shows each week.

[BlueIdaho]

18. I heard Monday night was the Maddow show

And the rest of the week was MSNBC Prime. I didn’t hear about rotating hosts on the other days. If true, that could be interesting. Time will tell.

[spooky3]

19. True. I think the reason they chose the name MSNBC Prime

was that they didn’t have a single host—otherwise, they would have added “with John Smith” or called it “The Jane Smith show.”

[BlueIdaho]

20. That makes sense

I hope it’s more than just another hour of the usual talking heads focusing on the usual handful of stories. MSNBC has PLENTY of other shows that do that all day long.

[spooky3]

22. That why I sometimes watch Shepard Smith on CNBC

His is more of a straight Headline News show—little commentary. However he includes (along with others) popular stories you might not find important, such as the Johnny Depp lawsuit.

[Diablo del sol]

12. had it on wasn't paying attention

Didn't really pick up negativity.

Also, I think he is the best reporter and host they have, by far.

[USALiberal]

21. +1000

[Raine]

24. I didn't see it. I had on CNN because I like their in-depth Ukraine coverage.

I think Velshi is good but MSNBC isn't doing much coverage of the war in Ukraine at this point.

[State the Obvious]

25. If you admire in-depth coverage...

Ali Velshi spent one week+....giving us in-depth reporting from Ukraine AND Poland for MSNBC.

[Raine]

34. THANKS ... I like him, I'll have to turn him on. 👍

[deRien]

26. I heard him refer

to the White House "panicking" over the leaked SC document. I think that was a poor choice of wording... maybe he could have said "unprepared" or "shocked"... panicking makes it sound like they don't know what they are doing... a government that can't get its act together...

[State the Obvious]

27. It sounds like a poor choice of words is a show-writers' issue...

...more than a issue with the host. He follows THEIR direction.

[Big Blue Marble]

30. This was the headline of a WP article today.

I was upset at MSNBC for making this poor piece of journalism a story. I had read
the article earlier and was disgusted by the hit piece suggesting that the WH was
caught of guard and was panicking. I suspect Velshi is only ready the script that
the producers have given him. He seems very flat and not at all animated on this show or
clear as he usually is..

[Demsrule86]

32. That would not have been better...this is why I don't watch MSNBC...I highly doubt Biden

was surprised by this...we knew they would try. I don't like Velshi...don't like any of them.

[yorkster]

35. Velshi is usually quite good.

Was in Hungary, Poland and then Ukraine for a period of several weeks.
Back in the studio, he covers wide range of issues - has had many women and poc on air regularly. And he has covered the Supreme Court Roe v. Wade switch in great depth.
