Katy Tur apprecitation thread

[CanonRay]

Poor woman has to deal with that slime all day every day. She deserves a month on some tropical island after this is over.

[oasis]

1. Katy's all the stronger for it.

[DURHAM D]

2. Did you see her on Tweety tonight?

She was on fire and took that Kingston creep apart. Joy Reid did as well. Can't believe MSNBC let two of their on-air personalities go against a Trump surrogate. They owned his ass.

[creoledna]

26. Enough is enough

It was a pleasure watching Kingston backed into a corner that he couldn't verbally get out of for a change. Chris needs to do more on the job training of what it means to get to the answers. No wiggle room, no set ups for an alternate explanation, no abdicating responsibility, no role playing, etc.. Sometimes I don't know why I like Chris and sometimes I know exactly why. This was one of those times.

37. Well said creoledna.... and welcome to DU.

[beveeheart]

3. I don't know how she does it.

[JPK]

4. Joy and Katy

It was one of the best segments I've ever seen on a network news program. They literally humiliated him with the facts.

[calimary]

15. And they wouldn't back down and cede the microphone.

Wouldn't let him talk over them and be rude. BOTH Katy Tur AND the incomparable and gutsy and brilliantly well-informed Joy Reid held their own and did not let him talk over OR take over. I don't think it was meant to be a double-teaming on him, but that's how it turned out.

The Jerk du Jour: George ex-CONgressman mouth-breather Jack Kingston - who DESERVES to be stomped on by female reporters wearing nice sharp spike heels.

[AgadorSparticus]

42. +1,000!!!

[madaboutharry]

5. I have great respect for her.

[Upthevibe]

6. I'm sorry I missed it. Maybe I can find it on YouTube. I respect her too. N/T

[madaboutharry]

7. It was something to see.

She cut him down. It was beautiful.

[Duckhunter935]

8. Good egg

[skylucy]

9. She was GREAT today on HardBall!

[ailsagirl]

22. Shoot-- I can't find that Hardball will repeat this evening (I missed the earlier airing)

according to my guide

[lunamagica]

32. No hardball reruns on Friday. Sorry

[ailsagirl]

36. Normally I wouldn't care (because I don't watch it)

...but tonight's show sounded great!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

47. I think this might be it.

[ailsagirl]

48. This is great-- thanks so much!!!

[Tarheel_Dem]

49. You're welcome.

[ailsagirl]

52. And I have to give Chris Matthews credit for being such a bulldog with the surrogate

He wouldn't let him get away with anything!! I wish he were like that more often.

[Tarheel_Dem]

54. I'm not a Tweety fan, but once in awhile someone will post a really good clip from his show.

I can't watch much more than that which is why I'm not a regular viewer.

[ailsagirl]

55. I had stopped watching him ages ago...

but this was well worth it! All three of them were bulldogs-- loved it!!

10. They gave "Trump" to her because they thought he'd be out of it in the early stages.

That assignment was made when the Big Names were all clamoring for Jeb! or Ted or Marco.

The newbies and schmucks got the fringy Trump and Kasich and Carson!

Then, by the time they realized Trump was digging in and gaining ground, it was too late. She was part of the entourage, she knew the players, and she had the credentials from the Trump machine. Other players weren't going to get in. They have to sit on the sidelines.

She will owe her career to Trump if she doesn't trip up. He has allowed her to take a MASSIVE shortcut. That's some huge irony, right there!

[TonyPDX]

11. First rate thinker (and reporter).

[StrictlyRockers]

12. Intelligent, insightful and eeeeasy on the eyes

[synergie]

16. I think that and the blonde thing us why she was given Trump.

Imagine the abuse Welker would have gotten on that beat.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. same theory but the opposite - why he gave to Bondi. nt

[whistler162]

13. Other than a couple of minor tongue trips

she did great.

Said Trump instead of Obama a couple of times.

[question everything]

14. I don't know why they have this guy on all the programs

Bill Maher, too, had him several times.

And she: "please don't interrupt me. Let me finish." Great!

[Wounded Bear]

17. She and Hallie Jackson have futures...

they've both offered some good insights on the campaigns. I've seldom been disappointed by what they share.

[Grassy Knoll]

18. Keith Olbermann's Ex Girl Friend...

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Really? Wow

[Grassy Knoll]

24. Years Ago, But Yep....

[Hekate]

19. She MUST write a book when this is over, and I can hardly wait to read it!

[BlackOpz]

43. I Feel the same Way!! I CANT WAIT TO READ KATYS BOOK!!

It a great story. She had almost no experience was buffaloed by Trump in the beginning and has been there from the start with interviews, footage and plenty of face time with Chump!! I want to read the book, I want to see the documentary. I'm all in on anything she produces that documents this Trumpster fire!! I just hope she has a good producer and go in-depth and produces a quality historical document.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. Ya. I guess. Actually seems like sometimes she likes him and pushes

his agenda. Other times - thinks he's crazy.

[blueseas]

23. She was great - held her on despite

The interruptions by the GA rep. Good for her!

[Imperialism Inc.]

25. The video

[bmpbmp]

27. Thanks for providing that -

Kingston is such an embarrassment to Georgia. Well, we've got a lot of embarrassments here. Ugh.

[BootinUp]

28. That was great, thanks!

[Mc Mike]

31. Thanks for the link, I I.

That Kingston is a slimy, sleazy, smiley, oily, unctuous greaseball. A real creep.

About what you'd expect from a tRump supporter.

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

35. Why does Kingston look like he's taken too many Valium?

He looks like a dingus.

[sarae]

51. He's a mouthbreather...

literally. His mouth is always hanging open.

[leanforward]

29. Apprecitation

She is right in there with Miss Reid. In the last few weeks I've realized that she was the reporter escorted out of one of Trumps rallies. My hat is off too her. She has felt the fear. Her responses and insight have impressed me. Miss Reid's responses have impressed me. They are good. In fact, they (either one) would be better for the country than Drump. Anything else I have to say goes down hill with regards to Drump. May she rise to the top.

[creeksneakers2]

30. Katy is the best

[lunamagica]

33. K&R. Awesome!

[Adrahil]

34. Don't feel too bad for her....

She's gonna make a mint when she writes a book about the shit she's seen.

[BlackOpz]

44. And I'm Gonna Stand In Line to Get Mine SIGNED!! nt

[Adrahil]

46. Me too! NT

38. Katy's piece in Marie Claire 8/10 - My Crazy Year With Trump

She's an excellent writer...

http://www.marieclaire.com/politics/a21997/donald-trump-katy-tur/

"By Election Day, I'll have lived out of a suitcase for a year and a half, swearing by the lifesaving powers of dry shampoo and the magic ability of scarves to make the same coat look new. Following Trump to city after city, I've made more than 3,800 live television appearances and visited more than 40 states. I've also endured a gazillion loops of Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," a staple of Trump's rallies."

[Wheezy]

45. thank you for the link!

This was an amazing piece to read.

[MoonRiver]

40. Wish I had seen her on Hardball yesterday. Seems like she was awesome.
