MSNBC / NBC hosts i will not watch
I change the channel immediately when Chuck Todd comes on. He's completely inept as a host and a waste of time.
fire this toad and ratings will increase.
After yesterday's debacle from Chris Hayes, i'm adding him to this list as well. Enough swiftboating of our candidates by the media. Tara Reade keeps changing her story, didn't raise it for 27+ years, and this host is uncritically presenting her side. I'm watching CNN when Chris Hayes comes on.
This is the type of shit CNN and MSNBC pulled with Hillary's emails and look where that got us.
:whatever:

2. Hayes was also a very strong Bernie supporter.
Not to fight a primary, but he's been vocally critical of Biden for months now.

4. MSNBC is not a propaganda channel
We don’t need a liberal version of FOX.
Amazed at how quickly some liberals howl when they hear a divergent opinion from a host on a station.
It doesn’t hurt anyone to step outside of their bubble on occasions.

6. I wrote a letter to Eugene Robinson
In regards to the WaPo article yesterday that gave the headline - asked questions - and failed to answer them.
I don't believe Reade. I don't believe her. End of discussion.

10. I am a woman who has always "believed the woman" but no more.
I was a victim of sexual harrassment when I was working as a sales rep right out of college. It was real, I got out of a car and ran to a farm house for help. They didn't do anything to the manager, and it wasn't his first rodeo. With that said I am inclined to believe a woman when they say something like that happened. Not this time, the history of this seems really sketchy. I think she is looking to get paid off knowing how serious this election is. My best friend, also a woman is a prosecutor in Chicago. She has looked at all of this stuff and said she wouldn't touch it and thinks she is lying, so do I.

25. Me Too is now a political weapon used to target Democrats...time to stop this shit. And it is a damn
shame that liars like Reade who change their story over and over...and are not credible make it difficult for real victims to be believed. Although Me Too wouldn't touch Reade.
Oh, it's fine when it's targeting the right... but now?

16. they've done so much in their quest...
to enable the GOP. They will try to trash any Democratic candidate..my god..The Dean Scream and Obama's Reverend Wright were way, way, over the top...and why? I can not imagine any cable news channel plastering such non-stories 24/7 if they involved any Republican. The cable news business is creating perceptions, and they are damn good at it. It's not that they reported the Dean scream, or Reverend Wright, it's the purposeful way they did it.

18. Hayes is completely in the tank for Sanders, so this comes as no surprise that he would want to take Biden down.

23. That's bullshit. And such an unnecessary thing to say.
If only this thread (and consequently, DU) had 100 users equal to Chris Hayes in both intellect and political consistency! It would transform this website.
I understand the need to vent. Every good and decent thing in this world seems to be threatened — but jeez, critical thinking is needed please. Let’s elevate the discourse instead of stoking conspiratorial Bernie Sanders infused media bias on petty grievance threads.

35. Yes, we expect critical thinking from left-wing hosts like Chris Hayes (and this board) to not allow the rapid and traitorous right-wing to continue swiftboating all of our candidates. traitor trump can't even be classified in the same class as Biden in terms of sacrifice for this country but with fox news and then hosts who we generally admire like Chris Hayes decide to get lazy or worse, all of us suffer under republican rule.

21. This episode of Chris Hayes reminds me of
One time on Oprah I happen to be watching for some ungodly reason, and she had a guest who made some statement about Jews drinking the blood of Arab children during Passover. I looked up from whatever I was doing and watched her reaction which was one of shock and surprise and with an almost gleeful book she said please let me know where you saw this, I need to find it. Instead of staring critically at the gentleman, and I would put that in quotes, and saying that this is part of the absurdist history of a race that has been persecuted for thousands of years Utilizing just such falsities.From that time forward, I was unable to listen or watch her program.
Chris Hayes is more than a bit of a schmuck: I do recall sometime ago him staring wistfully at one of the more attracted MS NBC on air personalities in the most prurient fashion. Prurient , that is, for a nerd, whose photograph is in the American heritage dictionary next to the word “nerd”. I have had quite enough of him now it’s time for CNN at eight and then return for Rachel at nine and Lawrence at 10.

39. I think Chris Hayes misses being able to jam Bernie Sanders down our throats every week.
That's what happened last time.
In 2016 he had Bernie on for an interview every week. It raised my suspicions that he was working EXTRA hard to position himself as the choice for White House Press Secretary in a Bernie Sanders presidency. I think he was secretly auditioning, softening up the candidate, giving him valuable face time on a weekly basis, positioning himself as the #1 friendly media go-to, whose name would automatically come up when a potential President Sanders was looking to assemble his new White House staff. I don't think he did one single interview with Hillary Clinton on his show, that whole time.
It was nauseating. Chris Hayes has been off my preferred watching list ever since. I still watch, but while we tape the whole evening lineup, his show is the one I'm gonna blow off if I have to do any catch-up watching. Rachel? Never miss. Chris Hayes? Meh.
In my "If I Ran MSNBC" game, I'd replace smug Chuck Todd (I DO NOT like smug), AND Andrea "Oh but her emails" Mitchell. Off with their heads! I might move Chris Hayes out of prime time. Elevate somebody else. Joy Reid maybe. And develop some new talent, too. I REEEEEEALLLY like Malcolm Nance. I think it might be interesting to try something with him, too. He'd be my choice for National Security Advisor if I were president. And I'd take Katie Porter out of the "gotta run for reelection every other year" crowd and put her in the Supreme Court. For life. And I'd issue a directive that jerks like Hugh Hewitt will NEVER get another shot at a show on MSNBC, and preferably will never again even see the inside of the building where MSNBC's located. We would NOT do a "let's give the other side a show maybe early Saturday mornings, just to be even-handed" shit. NO! NOT on MSNBC!!! You don't see Pox Noise giving a liberal a show for any reason, do you?
Willie Geist doesn't impress me, either.
I'd keep Rachel, Lawrence O'Donnell, Katy Tur (really impressed with her work!), Joy Reid, Stephanie Ruhle, Avi and Ari, and Shaquille Brewster. Not too sure about Joshua Johnson yet. I'd have to see. And I'd tell Steve Kornacki if he doesn't stop waving his arms in front of the statistics on his board and standing in front of it and blocking the numbers that he's busy telling you about but you can't see, he'll be OUT. That drives me ****ing CRAZY!!!!!! And I'd recommend that he switch to decaf. Like YESTERDAY. And oddly enough, I find Brian Williams a comforting presence. He stays.

Personally I don't watch any of that shit, it is all lies and progressive propaganda. :loser: :bird:
-
For all their watching Fox News looking for pretzellatable gotchas, I'm surprised they have time to watch MesSNBC.

DELUSIONAL
D-E-L-U-S-I-O-N-A-L

Once again, without double standards liberals would have no standards at all.

I'll give them credit for not watching something they don't want to watch. Unlike conservative radio or tv which they want to have banned so nobody can watch what they deem unwatchable.
