Related: About this forumI don't watch CNN in mornings much...but this Cuomo guy ...
is fantastic this morning.
He is creaming this Miller guy from the Trump campaign.
Repeatedly hitting him on the upcoming Trump U. fraud trial. Hitting him on white supremacists intimidating at the polls.
Fuck Morning Joe. This is real journalism on CNN this morning.

(311 posts)He's tough on everyone and that, I can accept. He is the only one to get Giuliani together. He does it in a "Grandpa, be reasonable. You know what you are saying isn't true" kind of way which makes it even better.
I was in the battered view syndome pulling my hair out over MJ and wandered over to CNN.
I really liked this guy, he isn't a full on homer, but most times he called republican bullshit and clearly tore apart most of the bullshit Hillary slander talking points.
I was like, man there is something so familiar about this guy so I looked it up and saw CUOMO and was like THAT'S IT.
Just like his father.
I e-mailed MSNBC telling them I will never watch it from 7 to 9 am again as long as they have MJ on and e-mailed Cuomo thanking, letting him know I was on board and keep it up.

(311 posts)...about "battered viewer syndrome". I couldn't even get ready for work but for all of the yelling I was doing at the TV when I was a MJ viewer. Finally, I realized Morning Joe was actually ruining my mornings.
I love that you contacted Cuomo. Great idea! I think I'll send a quick email today to thank him as well. It's gotta be a lonely road to be an actual journalist these days.

I noted my loyalty to MSNBC because they had staked a flag to counter the right leaning media bias, and had grown to feel there was no where else to go. I noted that I got fed with MJ and had checked out CNN, and noted New Day and Cuomo, and said I now had somewhere else to to go, and won't be back from 7 to 9 am again as long as MJ exists.

(7,117 posts)The Issues -- that is, a point-by-point comparison of the positions taken by Hillary and The Donald on particular issues.
Precious little TV air time as been devoted to substantive position comparison/contrast on the issues, so it was stunning to finally see coverage.

(5,829 posts)Very gratifying to see Chris do so well on CNN and be such a better journalist than George Steph. after the way ABC treated Chris to make room for Steph who is so wishy-washy.

(32 posts)Chris Coumo is very sharp and usually calls out GOP bullshit. He is prepared in his interviews and respectful.

(4,563 posts)He tries not to settle for B.S. answers from either side. He's not perfect, and some B.S. still gets through, but he pushes a lot harder than most.

(11,203 posts)I've been watching him for the past two weeks as opposed to that silliness at MSNBC. He's great.
I did flip over to MJ for a moment this morning and Joe/Mika were lamenting that we "elites" just didn't understand the anger of the normal people of America. Tsk tsk.
I about barfed. Flipped back to Cuomo.
