msnbc: The Place for POLLitics

Chris Hayes is taking over Ed Schultz's 8pm weeknight slot. Kind of bummed. I liked the 2 hour format and the long discussions it allowed.

Better than an alarm clock on Sat and Sunday morns.

very dope

Toure is so awful.

I record Up or just watch it online. It also neatly contains my msnbc watching to two days a week. I like that they can look back on a story and discuss it rather than covering the daily bullshit. I hope it stays a panel.

Kornacki can be okay-ish on election breakdowns sometimes, but other than that there is nothing good about The Cycle from what I've seen.

I'll miss Up, but anything that gets Ed Schultz off the air is a good thing.

Oh I just saw he's getting a weekend evening show. Ungh.

Steve Kornacki to take up over Up.

i've had msnbc on for hours now, with no audio, while i'm working (too lazy to even turn it off, i suppose). from just the video feed, here's my impression of their current focus:

Dems watching need red meat

not upset at msnbc taking christie down. still, it's a little ridiculous.

i don't need red-meat, anyway. i need waffles and scotch.

it's only not ridiculous when Steve Kornacki leads the charge; the rest is baroque.

haha

steve kornacki is a very serious journalist.

Maddow is insufferable. love Joe & Hayes. Matthews can be fun.

hayes is smart and usually right on but he's smug and annoying as fuck

i hate most of these people tbh

he's not nearly as smug as the rest of this crew. i enjoyed his book Twilight of the Elites. and he's a better listener/conversationalist than Maddow or fucking Melissa Harris-Perry (glad she's gone).

Joy Reid thinks Russia is still Communist. She went to Harvard.

i can't watch rachel maddow for even a minute anymore. i can't hear her voice. it drives me nuts. what happened?

i mean i watch morning joe in the morning now but i can't take even a sliver of maddow.

maria is the same way actually. can't take her. and maria was definitely a fan. i think i was too but it was so long ago i can't remember when it was. dubya years i guess.

kinda like when i accidentally hear amy goodman on the car radio. i jump out of my skin.

Morning Joe was always pretty terrible but they've accidentally spun closer to reality over the years.

Rachel's show has just become an insane litany of Russia Russia Russia and dumbass Trump impeachment/arrest countdowns. I can't watch it.

Chris Hayes is great though

Who voted for Chris Matthews??

i would vote for mika if this poll was today. fuck trump.

xxp I wish Twitter Chris Hayes hosted his show

this joy reid stuff is so fucking dumb man

yeah I agree

Did anything dumber develop today?

maybe 'weird' would have been a better word to use

what our poll winner's up to these days

ROOSHA WILL FREEZE US

I really like the Why Is This Happening? podcast when I remember to listen to it. I appreciate hearing a discussion of our current reality that manages to make me feel better informed but also slightly saner.

This would be hilarious if it weren’t so slanderous and destructive. Liberals laugh at Fox news but this is just as toxic.

Also, ex-FBI, totally credible source here. https://t.co/8OXKk8VI3K

jesus

so glad the Democrats have defaulted back to Cold War paranoia

joy reid is by far the worst msnbc host

at least in terms of her vendetta against bernie. cf.

I didn't answer your biased reporting about Bernie during the last 2 years @JoyAnnReid. But don't ever use me to demean my husband. I am very happy & very proud to be Bernie's wife. Your perception couldn't be more wrong. Have you ever talked with him? You've never spoken w/me. https://t.co/SZG7uV8cfO

but yeah, the cold war paranoia stuff is obviously not limited to her
