Sorry Kristen Welker

[malaise]

He is the former President not Mr President.

Eff off with the licky licky questions and deference to this criminal lowlife.
Saying you wouldn’t be there without Andrea Mitchell is all I need to know.
Of course you both think interviewing this monster for your first show is a big deal.
Spare me please - he should be a pariah.

[H2O Man]

1. Recommended.

I agree. The only interviews I'd be interested in would be Jack doing cross-examination, or H2O Man interviewing him for DU.

[malaise]

2. Now those I would watch

over and over😀😀😀

[blm]

3. ✔️✔️✔️

[spanone]

30. NBC & CNN obviously think the twice impeached 91 X's indicted disgraced rapist will bring more eyes

that's all they crave

I'll chip in for the H2O Man interview

[malaise]

53. Double eff off to her after

Reading the comments this morning. She insulted the entire country with that Mr President bukkshit.
How low can these hacks sink?

[SheilaAnn]

4. I hope the ratings for this travesty suck! n/t

[Rebl2]

43. Same here

Why they won’t put someone in like Nicole Wallace who will push back is beyond me.

[SheilaAnn]

44. Corporate does lean Right and wants as little pushback as possible is my guess. n/t

[Rebl2]

46. I know

this, but just like they lost viewers with Chuck Todd, if she doesn’t push back they will lose even more viewers-I hope.

[SheilaAnn]

47. Definitely. I don't know her or am familiar with her, hope she sinks..LOL. n/t

[Rebl2]

48. She had been

the Whitehouse correspondent for NBC the last few years as well as one of the host’s on Saturday Today show. I believe she was one of the moderators during the last presidential election and at that time she did push back on tfg. That seems to have gone by the wayside the last couple years. Now she just goes after Biden.

[gordianot]

5. Starting with Russert every Meet the Press moderator has been a dud.

Obviously more of the same.

[Earth-shine]

9. Was there anyone worse than David Gregory?

[jcgoldie]

13. chuck todd says hi

[Earth-shine]

14. Not sure on that. Chuckie seemed to actually know something about politics.

MTP has been a wasteland since Russert. Maybe longer.

[spooky3]

29. He was a good dancer, though nt

[TNNurse]

6. Well, I was going to give her a chance,

BUT, there is no way I will willingly view him and listen to his arrogance and lies.

As Julia Roberts said in "Pretty Woman"..."Big mistake, huge".

[Blue Owl]

7. Diarrhea Donny has a sparkling clean toilet after that licking

[calimary]

8. Kristen Welker? How the hell did she get that job?

She always struck me as a lightweight.

[Emile]

12. She admires and worshipped Chuck Todd. She

was probably his biggest ass kissing suck ass.

[calimary]

15. He never impressed me either.

Smug entitled asshole.

[Kingofalldems]

10. I am sure Trump got them to agree to that.

[orleans]

11. this set off alarm bells for me:

from olbermann podcast "GOP DEBATE 1: TRUMP IS ROMPING BECAUSE DeSANTIS IS A HOLOGRAM - 8.24.23

And maybe bigger than all, there is a scandal involving ABC News, CBS, CNN, NBC, The Washington Post, the New York Times, and other news outlets and I doubt anybody will notice but it drove me to distraction. Why, the night before the debate, did a dozen of the leading political reporters and editors think it was cool to have a meal with Jason Miller and two other thugs from the Trump Campaign and let them get schmoozed by them and let Miller try out his latest attacks on DeSantis? The Trump people want to dismember the press and maybe individual reporters. With the BEST of politicians you must keep yourself at arm's length - and these are the worst of them. They (and they include Dana Bash, Robert Costa, and Kristen Welker) should all be fired.

[MontanaMama]

18. I heard about this and hoped

someone would post links about it, so thank you. Shady as hell. All of it!!! They all lost credibility in my book. Welker is a doormat just like her predecessor.

[malaise]

20. Oh my!

Wish I could rec

24. Keith has more to say in passing today.

33. K&R

RECOMMEND

[gab13by13]

16. I don't watch right wing news

but again, in Welker's defense, if she took Trump on and corrected his lies, she would get death threats.

[crazylikafox]

23. That's why she shouldn't have taken the interview

[Resist160]

17. Sorry Kristen Welker

I WAS always a fan of Kristen Welker but after this interview with the indicted guy, I'm done. She could've picked a better person to interview. But then I gave up on MTP after my dearly beloved Tim Russet died suddenly. I still miss my fellow Irishman.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. Tell it to NBC

I thought she was none too qualified from her days in Philly. Now she's buffed the rough edges and masquerades better, but still the same core.

[Hekate]

21. All the women give a shout-out to Andrea Mitchell, because she was the pioneer in TV journalism...

…for all the women who came after her.

That is just a historical fact. It doesn’t mean they have each created a shrine and pray to her icon.

[gordianot]

25. I love the way she weaseled her way on Hilary's plane election night.

Then Hilary dissed her by not giving Andrea any attention. You could tell by facial expressions both were not happy for the mutual company.

[Hekate]

27. Beside the point. I don't like Andrea either, but the fact is she's a pioneer for women in broadcast

…journalism. Every woman who gets promoted or hired at NBC gives her a shout-out for being welcoming to them. Even Rachel Maddow. It’s what well-mannered people do when they share a workplace.

Hillary Clinton is a politician, and has never been a broadcast journalist anywhere, much less in the same shop as Andrea Mitchell. Andrea has a long history of being a pill to the Clintons — just as she is doing now with Joe Biden. “Enough about Biden’s successes in the economy — we’ve done that for 30 whole seconds. How about Hunter’s heinous crimes?” The remote control is my friend.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

40. Barbara Walters was a news anchor on NBC in 1950.

[Rebl2]

45. I believe that title belongs to

Barbra Walters

[senseandsensibility]

22. What, you didn't like KW's twinkling

eyes and giddy smile when she was discussing the big interview? Not even a hint that she understands the danger of this creature.

[Iggo]

26. Aren't all ex-Presidents addressed as Mr President?

If he wasn’t in the room and she was talking to you and me and referring to him as the President, I can see where you would have beef. But wasn’t she talking directly to him? Why get yourself all twisted over that?

[634-5789]

28. Welker is either a GQP bootlicker, or just plainly stupid.

Watched her twice, that's enough.

[malaise]

32. On the other hand she may well believe

that she’s a very important journalist. Often full of oneself overlaps with full of shift.

[spanone]

31. 👍🏼K&R👍🏼

[Hassler]

34. Access Journalism is about access, not journalism

[EleanorR]

35. she sounds like an 8 year old proud she got to interview her daddy in class for career day

Unprofessional, irresponsible, awful.

[malaise]

36. Yep

She’ll proudly add this to her CV.
These hacks are shameless.

[Cha]

37. Actually he's FUCK trump or HOOVERtrump

[malaise]

38. Nice😀

[Cha]

39. "mr presdidnet" these damn pundit heads

have lost their bloody minds.

[Emile]

41. Chuck Todd want to be, how sad is that?

She told Chucky last Sunday how she has always admired him. Egads

[Danascot]

42. When they saw how well a Trump interview

worked out for Chris Licht and Kaitlan Collins at CNN they couldn't wait to do it (to) themselves.

[DallasNE]

49. Geez

I thought it was Chuck Todd dressed like a woman. Same bad product.

[malaise]

50. These hacks would celebrate interviewing Hitler if it gave them fame and their neteorks

Made money. It ‘s that simple.

[DallasNE]

51. Yup. Nr
