or did she say Trump wants voters to punish Dems for the NY election case? Much as I don't care much for her, I don't think she would say that she wants voters to punish dems.

Andrew Weismann was on and the Mueller investigation referred the original Cohen case to them. Tur was asking Andrew as to whether voters would punish Democrats for this trial. I turned the TV off after this.

Michael Steele dared to say the media is giving inconsistent messages and Katy went off, not letting him answer her question as to 'what is the media?', interrupting him in a rapid fire way.

One could say, ‘The lady doth protest too much, methinks.’ from Shakespeare's Hamlet which is used in modern times to indicate doubt of someone's sincerity, especially regarding the truth of a strong denial.

in her manner of interrupting. She asks a question, then interrupts before the answer. The Michael Steele session was particularly obnoxious. Your description of rapid fire was spot on.

Evidence coming out today in the cross-examination of Cohen brought her name, along with Chris Cuomo and Maggie Habberman, out as reporters Cohen used to get positive stories out. It isn't a surprise but it does back up why a lot of us see her as a trump defender.

* and ends up being a bit of a "fan-boy" that never asks hard/fair questions, and just accepts things without much push-back. He was certainly no friend of Hillary when others were smearing her, but gladly (and frequently) offered his show as a platform for that.

I agree that there are times where he's pleasant and somewhat competent, but his agenda really shows.

I remember when Hayes was pushing the Liar Tara Reid.. and viewers got mad.. and he blamed the viewers. arrogant.
