Fair warning: MSNBC is unwatchable this morning

[senseandsensibility]

The person filling in for Chris Jansing is covering the Kirk shooting from an entirely RW perspective. She ran many clips of RWers threatening retribution and screaming and yelling, including a particularly unhinged Steven Miller. Then she said, "there is also vitriol coming from the left."

No examples of this "vitriol coming from the left" of course. Just like there were no examples of "celebrating" Kirk's murder.

CNN is actually much more balanced this morning.

[Codifer]

1. After three minutes

I bailed out to TCM and some Miss Marple mystery.

[senseandsensibility]

2. Sounds like a good move

[JustAnotherGen]

7. Which one?

A Margaret Rutherford portrayal?

[Codifer]

31. Yes.

It was Rutherford but I did not note the title as I jumped into it after the beginning. It had to do with a someone being scared to death by a cat.

[Tom Dyer]

35. Margaret Rutherford in anything

but Blythe Spirit still cracks me up.

[JustAnotherGen]

41. Oh i love her in that!

[niyad]

19. Much easier on the nerves.

[Vinca]

3. "Morning Joe" has been hard to watch, too. What part about Kirk ginning up hate and violence don't they get?

[Paladin]

4. Must be time for a return trip to Mar-A-Lardo.

Joe and Mika, you guys play nice (again)...

[SocialDemocrat61]

9. Pic of their first trip

[FadedMullet]

13. OK, that made me laugh.

[badhair77]

17. Joe admitted to calling trump after the shooting.

They were unwatchable on Friday morning.

[Sneederbunk]

5. KO podcast dropped Sep 14 is perfect pitch.

Especially the Aug 26 sound clip from Fuentes damning CK.

[niyad]

20. YES!!! listening to that slimeball fuentes at 4am was painful, his voice is

so damned irritating, grating, almost nasal.

[Sneederbunk]

23. If his was not a call to action against CK, I don't know what is.

[niyad]

26. Exactly. Neither dared go after the other personally.

[ificandream]

6. Got a video link or at least the name of the person you're referring to?

That would be a little helpful here.

[Celerity]

28. Erielle Reshef (Jansing fill-in host). Here is a link

https://www.msnbc.com/chris-jansing-reports

here is the video segment's direct link

[ReRe]

43. MSNBC is almost gone to me

The only ones left for me on that network is Ali Velshi, Lawrence O'Donnell, Nicole Wallace, Rachel Maddow & maybe Chris Hayes.
And sometimes I shut all then off and stream PBS and BritBox series. You're a peach for sharing all the links. Thanks!

[ificandream]

45. I watched the link. I didn't hear anything indicating a right-wing bias.

Given that the guy was a right-wing podcaster, the reactions of right wingers is part of the story. The broadcast had plenty of even-handed analysis as well. Nothing to see here.

[Midnight Writer]

8. Unwatchable this afternoon, too. Heard of 'violent rhetoric from both sides" twice in two minutes.

This isn't news reporting. This is making up "facts" to please crazy people.

[milestogo]

12. If they see "violent rhetoric" its because they are searching social media high and low for it.

I never heard of CK before he was killed. And now that I have, I don't feel like I have missed anything. No vitriol. It sounds like Trump wants to use the media to stir up conflict. What an asshole.

[Bengus81]

33. I'd seen his horse teeth and gums picture before but didn't know him or his show

[Bengus81]

32. Filling in and working both sides of the street (even if she has to LIE) for ratings....

All that matters to a hell of a lot of them

[milestogo]

10. I decided not to watch the news today.

[senseandsensibility]

11. Good idea

I think I'll join you, at least until Rachel.

[niyad]

22. wise decision

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Agreed. Capitulation to the RW

[Hekate]

15. I'll be checking in on Nicolle W shortly, just to see how she's doing. Then again Rachel M later on.

I don’t stick around very long for any of it any more.

[kimbutgar]

16. MSNBC has been dead to me since Election Day

and the firing of Joy Reid was the last straw if I’d ever watch it again.

[Hekate]

18. Nicolle Wallace is doing a great job, right off the mark. Watch it from the beginning.

I’m 10 minutes in.

[senseandsensibility]

25. I'm recording it. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll give it a try.

[badhair77]

21. Raphael Warnock was excellent on MJ this morning.

Before and after, forget it. If you can find a link please watch.

[MakeThemCry]

24. Who's still watching that godforsaken network

At this late stage?

[Bengus81]

34. Lawrence O'Donnell is probably the best of the best on Network TV

So yeah...I'll watch him,Rachel and Chris Hayes on You Tube. Morning Joe,not a fucking chance. Haven't watched that shit since he made the boot licking trip with (she wants to keep her Penthouse) cohort Meeka.

[Skittles]

39. they have been unwatchable for some time now

chronic repuke propaganda

now they are whitewashing white supremacy

[bsiebs]

27. I saw that.... screamed at the tv and then turned it off... morning/daytime MSNBC is total crap

[BHDem53]

29. IowL

I only watch Lawrence

[senseandsensibility]

30. He is by far the best journalist

on MSNBC, but most of the evening ones are pretty good. Look forward to his show tonight!

[Zackzzzz]

36. I only watch Lawrence O'Donnell

My time was spent looking into what
happened to the Engineers at the Hyundai Plant.
These Engineers were Held Captive by ICE
from 9-4-25 until their flight home on 9-14-25.

The Korean Presidential Chief of Staff Apologized
that he could not get them home quicker.

EVERYTHING that is happening in the US is
beyond my mind to handle.

[mdbl]

37. Because there are 2 sides to every hate story.

Don't watch msnbc anymore.

[pamdb]

38. MSNBC

I'm running out of people to watch. All I have left is Nicky.

I did like the group on the weekend, with Menendez, Steele and Sanders-Townsend but now they're on at night when we're watching something else. I guess I'm back to recording. Running out of anchors here.

Stopped recording Joe and Mica when they bent the knee, never went back.

These people who caved so fast need to remember Ned Stark from Game of Thrones.
Just a thought.

[Queso Delicioso]

40. It's corporate media

They're all walking on eggshells and praising Saint Charlie (piss be upon him) for fear of the big orange baby and his cult. Fuck the lot of 'em.

[Rebl2]

42. Quit wasting

my time watching daytime MSNBC a long time ago. If I ever turn it on, which might be 3 or 4 times a year, it’s to watch Lawrence. He’s worth watching, sometimes.

[yellow dahlia]

44. Vitriol coming from the left? What vitriol!

I just want them to take the targets off our backs.

I am just an aging hippie wanting to peacefully protest the destruction of the Constitution and the decimation of the rule of the law.
