I once trusted MSNBC now I think I am nuts, they are all doing this to us, not a patriot left on cable news.

It’s not like she actually earned his ire with great journalism, but I increasingly feel like she thinks she needs them to be relevant. And her jokes are dumb.

Sometimes the guests are already booked. I can see why the network would want a polarizing idiot like Scaramucci on. He's viewed as entertaining and possibly a ratings-draw.

But I always turn him off when he's on.

... politico who's aware of anything.

As long as she presses him for the truth and negates the distractions its worth it

Except Kellyanne.

Who would you suggest that MSNBC invite to represent this Administration or a "reasonable" pro-Trump viewpoint?

as well as she should to ask the hard questions. She was a much better correspondent. I routinely turn the channel during her hour(s).

All I have is CNN as far as live news and it sucks, they bring on the one guy left defending Trump. Throw cold water on the T word and speculate whether Democrats gave Republicans a gift when Trump is the gift that keeps on giving but unfortunately he's causing a lot of harm in the process.

considered being to easy on GOPers around here. I get it, but it's just not realistic. Heck, most of the GOPers do themselves in just by uttering their BS, again to anyone who listens.

I wonder what people want -- another replacement like Big Ed, who sounded good until he became a Russian asset himself, even if unwittingly.
