Weissman, Katyal, Beschloss...Katy Tur is interacting professionally with a lot of non-Trumpy people

…today. (She also looks better-rested, but that’s just me.)

Ooops. Now she’s interviewing a former Trump lawyer. How dare she, sir? I say, how dare she?

Look, she’s not my “hero.” But ever since Trump literally called the mob on her, I have followed her career with interest. I don’t get the animosity from some here. She earned the spot she’s in. That’s all.

Did anyone ask him, if he's so smart, why did he quit as Trump's attorney? Marius25 Jun 2023 #5
Easy answer: he quit because he IS that smart Hekate Jun 2023 #6
Oh I agree. I hate that he's gaslighting when he knows how bad this is, that's why he quit Marius25 Jun 2023 #9
He already said why shortly after he quit... Spazito Jun 2023 #11

and if occasionally she interviews someone who doesn't toe OUR party line, that's OK too. If I get too irritated I can just turn off the sound, as I do when Melber interviews that idiot Sam Nunberg.

she interrupted him when he started gaslighting. He is now getting cranky because he's being called on stuff by various people on the panel instead of letting him spew uninterrupted.

it was because of Boris Epshteyn's interference with his work for trump. I am more interested in the fact that he just reported out what happened in the Grand Jury while he was there. It looked like he lost his temper and blurted out the information when he was being challenged.

disagreed with one time. If Katy Tur is that upsetting, they should find better hobbies.

It seems like every few sentences she trips on her words or misspeaks. I also am not a big fan of her personality, the way she interacts with guest (although less so on occasions like today that are serious) is often juvenile and flippant. I know these are just personal traits that bug me, and others may not be bothered by them. I'm watching CNN now, once I saw she was leading coverage on MSNBC.

I hate you and I'm never watching you or your show again forever and ever and ever and I'm telling EVERYONE.

Also: Haven't seen that show since 1823 but complain whenever the show or its host is mentioned. If anyone posts about an upcoming show, am compelled to make dire predictions how the host isn't going to "push back" and how terrible it's going to be and warn everyone not to watch.

Or: I threw my TV off a cliff years ago and wouldn't watch one if you gave me a trillion dollars and gift coupons.

Is everyone eight years old?
