Remember, if you hate Steve Kornacki you don't need to watch him tomorrow...

[USALiberal]

It seems like there’s 30 posts about him every election that they hate him and he’s boring and he’s annoying.

So, just reminding that there’s no man forcing you to watch him.

1. I don't care, because I don't watch tv

[a kennedy]

2. Gotta watch, Rachel and Nicole will be there.

[USALiberal]

3. +1000

[iemanja]

12. I like Nicole

I might watch for her, but I'll also switch to CNN.

[tosh]

23. Yup.

Steve is an annoyance but I need to hear return coverage with Rachel, Nicole and crew.

[W_HAMILTON]

4. Tomorrow might be the one time he's tolerable.

Since he will be forced to analyze actual voting data rather than simply pontificating on unreliable polling results.

[USALiberal]

6. LOL

[Meadowoak]

7. +1

[gab13by13]

14. You nailed it.

We have little choice but to watch him tomorrow, I certainly am not watching him tonight.

[Claustrum]

15. I agree.

He really knows his stuff about which county to look out for. He is really good when he is just dealing with pure numbers without any of the political commentating.

[milestogo]

19. He's a data nerd.

I can't believe how much he knows about so many different areas of the country.

[Grown2Hate]

5. I'm probably one of the few that like him.

He's a little too excitable sometimes, but his analysis of incoming votes (their team's analysis, anyhow) is second to none in my opinion.

And I don't find that he "gets excited about R's doing well"; seems to love data and especially unpredicted results, either way.

[Sympthsical]

8. On the other hand

I hope we get as many Bill Maher links as possible.

[brooklynite]

9. But how can people complain if they don't watch?

[iemanja]

10. You could watch John King on CNN

He does the same thing but with less franticness.

Oh right, you all think CNN is Fox News now.

[brooklynite]

11. IsJohn King and his Big Board on CNN also distrusted now?

[iemanja]

13. Don't you know he's just like Sean Hannity?

Get with the program.

[USALiberal]

17. Maybe you need to seek help

[PlanetBev]

18. I had to turn him off tonight

It’s not just him. All the projecting of “what if this county goes blue and what if this race goes red” reminds me of something my father used to say about speculation. “And if my grandmother had wheels, she’d be a trolley car.”

I’m going to try to avoid anxiety tonight. Gonna watch an old movie.

[PortTack]

21. Not only am I watching movies tonight, I might watch movies tomorrow night too

I like Rachael and Nicole a lot, but there’s just going to be WAY too much drama. I’ve done what I could- volunteered, gave and voted, so I’m good with that.

[msfiddlestix]

32. ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ ✔️ n/t

[Floyd R. Turbo]

20. I do, and I won't!

[lapfog_1]

22. I stopped watching MSMBC because of the endless bullshit polling they report

and especially of Kornacki.

not only that but I am really tired of the "we are giving up, X" emails I have been getting from various candidates and Democratic re-election efforts. These types of fear mongering emails do not motivate me to give them money... I have donated as much as I could to the races where I thought it would do the most good.

now I am checked out of election bullshit until about a week after the elections... hopefully all the races will have been decided by then.

if we lose the House or the Senate or both... or various Governors around the country... I will weep a little and hope that our votes will be counted on 2024.

[FakeNoose]

24. Please don't make endless posts about how much you dislike him

Just grin and bear it, this stuff won't last that long. The DU Lounge usually has nice kitty and doggy gifs, maybe watch those for a day or two. The Steve Kornacki segments will be over quickly and we'll get back to regular news after that.

[Polybius]

26. I don't like him

I love him.

[Celerity]

27. I like him, and do not give a toss about the perpetual whingers. Same for Alex Wagner and others.

[ecstatic]

28. Not watching him means not watching the channel

Because I'm pretty sure he will be injected into the election coverage all day. I'm actually okay with not watching any election coverage today.

[Abolishinist]

29. I only watch him for his

up-to-date fashion statements. I need to know what to shop for.

[msfiddlestix]

30. There is No ONE forcing any of us to watch an election circus show intended to keep us on the edge

of our seats..

I am purposely avoiding any tv as I have for the past two years.


At some point I'll take a quick glance at DU's Latest Breaking News, or quick glance at GD... to get a sense of how things seem to be rolling out, but mostly I'll check in tomorrow.

I'll rejoice and celebrate good news tomorrow, or I'll be too damned depressed to engage.

Whichever way I'm not giving it to the MSM.

31. over gesticulates with his hands too much

Waving his hands over his maps are quite annoying, though 80% of talking heads over gesticulate, including some of my favorites such as nancy pelosi - 70%, rachel maddow - 70%, bernie sanders - 90%, biden - 40%. Kornacki has about 5 motions which he repeats over and over. I have formed 'STOGATH' - Stop over gesticulation amongst talking heads.
Kornacki uses the term 'dead heat' regarding polls. A poll can NEVER be considered a dead heat towards the electorate, it is oxymoronic. A dead heat is 'no discernible difference'. While a poll with a sample of 2002 splitting 1001 to 1001 is indeed a dead heat it cannot be applied to the electorate in general because of the margin of error which simply creates a swath wherein the results could lie, and it is ridiculous to arbitrarily choose the exact dead center. I have seen him refer to a percentage point poll result which is say, 44 - 42, as a dead heat. Again ridiculous as a true dead heat had 'no discernible difference' and a 2 pt lead is certainly discernible.
Kornacki I think is polish, a polack like me, and his name is properly pronounce in polish 'Kor nat skee'.

Nicole Wallace employs 'fake breaking news' so frequently I stopped watching her show. She puts up about anything and calls it breaking news; about 70% of her show not counting commercials and true breaking news, is fake breaking news. I remember once she had during early pandemic 'Gymnasts go maskless in Miami', then a video of about 50 in a gym, most without masks. No more breaking news than a parking lot fender bender.

33. He has grown on me a bit

For whatever reason…I prolly won’t watch much of anything though.
