WTF is wrong with MSNBC?

[wryter2000]

They're talking to still undecided voters and going on and on about how Kamala Harris still has a long way to go to win voters over, yada, yada. Were they watching the same debate they showed last night? Were they watching their own victory celebration afterward?

I know...I shouldn't have turned my TV on before Nicole came on.

[dchill]

1. Daytime MSNBC eats dogs.

[MustBeTheBooz]

34. Don't forget cats!

There’s a meowtain of nutrition! 😆

[lpbk2713]

2. They're reading script from two day old news.

That's the best they can do.

[senseandsensibility]

3. Yeah, I was going to start an OP about how they're STILL giving Kamala advice

AFTER she wiped the floor with him last night. Oh well, at this point, they know exactly what they're doing.

[Squaredeal]

4. These people aren't going to vote.

Maybe if someone paid them, cash in hand, like Trump did when he announced his intention to run for President.
Its a waste of time discussing them.

[TheProle]

15. It's a waste of time discussing undecided voters in Sept

of a close election?

What IS worthy of discussion?

[Polly Hennessey]

27. You are right. Those people are not going to vote.

Probably not even registered.

[bluesbassman]

5. Even if Kamala wasn't a top rate candidate, which she of course is...

After that absolute shit show the convicted felon put on last night, anyone who is still “undecided” is either lying or isn’t actually going to vote at all.

[wryter2000]

7. That's pretty much what one of the pundits said.

After that, I wouldn't want to admit I'm going to vote for him.

[bluesbassman]

11. It's ludicrous. I've been engaged in some FB convos with friends of friends.

They chime in when one of my friends posts a meme congratulating Kamala or laughing at TSF. Normally these defenses of him are the usual “how great he is” kind of things, but after last night the cult has really taken their cue from him and are attacking her in the most sick and disgusting ways, and are just parroting the same old hackneyed lies and tropes. It’s pathetic really because these people presumably watched the same debate we all did and to divorce yourself from reality that hard has to cause some damage to one’s psyche.

[SupportSanity]

23. Pounding the table.....

There is an old adage among lawyers that says, "If you have the facts on your side, pound the facts; if you have the law on your side, pound the law; if you have neither the facts nor the law, pound the table."

[DURHAM D]

6. MSNBC showing their OCD problem as usual.

It will stop at 4:00 pm EST.

[Mz Pip]

8. The only way

anyone could be undecided is if they’ve lived in a cave for the past 9 years with no contact with the outside world.

Personally, I think these folks just like the extra attention being “undecided “ brings.

[Claustrum]

13. I just think these are "pretend" sensible republican who can't quite publicly say they are voting for TFG.

So they do this song and dance about they are "undecided". But democrats can never really reach them. Only TFG can lose their vote. The best we can hope for is for these people to stay home.

[MadameButterfly]

9. When they say this stuff they make it true

i recall missing the Gore/Bush debate where everyone said Gore botched it by shaking his head a certain way when Bush spoke.

I later saw a tape of the debate, and Gore was terrific. Someone picked at something of minor importance, made a big deal of it, and the news took off. Most people rated that debate on the media coverage.

I expect as Kamala practiced her expression for how to react to Trump's lies on the split screen she was not only thinking of Biden, but of the Bush-Gore debate. Shake your head, but not too much. Be relaxed and smile a lot. Every nuance matters because a Dem, especially a Black woman, has to be perfect.

[SocialDemocrat61]

14. Every instant poll taken the night of the debate

had Gore winning that debate. Then the corporate media edited together every unflattering facial expression Gore made and played on a loop for days.

[TheProle]

16. Ah yes, "the sigh"

[DownriverDem]

33. It's good we

have many more ways to watch personal media.

[MadameButterfly]

48. I didn't know that

By the time I heard about it, it was the media story. Good to know. The people were fine with it, the media made it a problem.

Media is mostly owned by conservatives now, probably true then too.

[hlthe2b]

10. I cannot trust myself to watch before Nicole-- I risk destroying my tv in my desire to smack the condescending smirk

off of Katy Tur(d)'s face. She can just be so insufferable.

[SWBTATTReg]

12. Well, screw these undecided voters. Personally I don't think that they give a crap about voting or anything like

that for the Country, whereas the rest of us do care.

A long way to go to win voters over? How in the hell are you coming up w/ this? She's been part of Joe Biden's admin since day 1, and now of a sudden you're coming up w/ this crap?

They are just making up headlines to get more clicks online. And they're just plain lazy, they don't want to create or dig into new headlines.

[Voltaire2]

17. Their objective is to keep you glued to their screen.

And the recipe they use is to induce stress anxiety in their viewers.

Turn it off.

[spanone]

18. Katy Turd Show.

[Picaro]

19. I won't watch daytime MSNBC

This is the same tactic as going an finding the most rednecked diner in some rural town that doesn't have enough population to merit any notice. But these "journalists" seek out the idiots--because somehow moron's opinions matter the most.

[BonnieJW]

39. Me either

[kimbutgar]

20. Daytime MSNBC is trash and I turn to FSTV instead

The station during the Morning and early afternoon hours are fox lite. Between Andrea and Katy blah! 🤮

[BigDemVoter]

22. I cannot stand those 2!

[proud patriot]

24. Yup me too

Stephanie Tom and Randi in the morning

[BigDemVoter]

21. Goddamn. They just cannot let it go.

Read Jenn Rubin in the WaPo. . . That will make you feel better!

[Figarosmom]

25. Some of thosr undecided last night were so

Wishy washy I almost wished the guy would have asked them what the hell else yhey needed. And the guy who said he would be homeless should have Ben told to stop voting against his interests when he said he was a conservative.

[claudette]

26. Katy Tur

Is the worst

[onetexan]

28. Their debate coverage was excellent, & likewise of the DNC

Only one i cant stand is andrea mitchell. Needs. Retirement. Now.

[calimary]

44. Yep. Right there with you on that.

I wish her a happy, creative, and comfortable retirement.

Sheesh - she could write a TERRIFIC memoir with her decades of experience and, well, who does she NOT know? And BLAMM! She’d be back on TV - not just on NBC or MSNBC, but ALL of ‘em! ALL the networks and syndicators. ALL of ‘em. She’d be more famous than ever!

[Codifer]

29. Except for Velshi on weekend,

morning on MSNBC is a waste of mind.

I usually hunt up an old 1950's Grade B science fiction and wait for Nicole.

But I did see a very few minutes of andrea mitchell/katy tur. Just enough to be disgusted.

I just cannot watch any more conversations with "undecided" ignorant assholes.

If last nights debate was not clear enough to see the difference.... may gawd just fuck them.

[DownriverDem]

30. MAGA

trump has the rich, religious nuts and racists. That's why the race is close. Kamala did great. Let's see how the latest polls trend.

[pwb]

31. It is shit cable? MSNBC is only our friend for the third shift. Even then

they say things like you mentioned. They should learn how to do things like running a debate from the Networks.

[Lovie777]

32. So called journalists which are members of shithole's cult..................

stinks up the day shows until my time at 1pm when enlighten Wallace comes on and other sane journalists thereafter.

shithole's female cult members like Tur and Mitchell are insane.

[ToxMarz]

35. A lot of the undecided voters seem to be like a lot of the magats

Being an 'undecided voter' has become a part of their identity. It's the only reason anyone wants to talk to them and find out what THEY think. They have 'friends' now in other undecided voters with something to talk about. They ain't letting go, it's not about the election or democracy. It's selfishness or loneliness or importance or something else.

[Schmice3]

36. I had to turn it off.

The mouthbreathers they were interviewing kept saying they needed more information. All they wanted was to be on TV making their carefully considered pronouncements public. Sorry, but what a disappointment of a segment.

[GoodRaisin]

37. Finding voters who are still undecided at this point is simply an exercise in

finding stupid people. And the people they found certainly met that criteria. These people are essentially vegetables.

[Warpy]

38. People whoare undecided after last night

don't know and don't want to know and there is nothing either TFG or Harris can do about that. They don't decide until the ballot is in front of them and there is nothing rational about their decision process.

It's how democracy works, the dunderheads and the cautiously deliberative all necessary to the process. Brring the massive amount of propaganda we saw from Putin and his allies in 2016, the stystem mostly works.

[BaronChocula]

40. Well, they are providing a service

even if that service is demonstrating how many people out there are utterly stupid, disconnected, and willing to continue to give the White Man's Pass to a brash and loud talking convicted felon with no shred of competence. And I say that with all objectivity.

[duncang]

41. One of the fallacies I think they make is

Asking if someone is an independent or similar question without asking who they are voting for first. Not registering doesn’t mean anything. All it means is you didn’t register for a party. Of all the people considered an independent in polls I wonder how many actually are.

[krawhitham]

42. money money money, it all about money. Close race more people watching. Higher ratings means higher the ad rate

[Sky Jewels]

43. Re: undecided voters

This is a David Sedaris quote from 2020 that is still relevant:
I look at these people and can't quite believe that they exist. Are they professional actors? I wonder. Or are they simply laymen who want a lot of attention? To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. "Can I interest you in the chicken?" she asks. "Or would you prefer the platter of shit with bits of broken glass in it? To be undecided in this election is to pause for a moment and then ask how the chicken is cooked.

[calimary]

45. LOVE this Sedaris quote!

Amazing, though, how many people still ask for -or clamor for, the shit with broken glass.

[Sky Jewels]

46. So true!

Sadly.

[Greg_In_SF]

47. I have to admit

I'm a little worried. Kamala was up 2.0% in the Real Clear Politics national poll averages a week ago. Now it's only 1.1%.

WTF?!?!
