The quality of analysts/pundits on MSNBC has plunged

[woolldog]

Anyone else noticed this? What happened?

Remember Alex Wagner, Chris Hayes, David Frum etc? People who could give thoughtful analysis. Now they just have people pushing propagnada points for their side, like Carly Fiorina's former campaign manager who is simply shilling against HRC. It's sad.

1. The ones just on were awful. ( the other one does commentary on Faux News) nt

2. yeah, that's what led me to make this thread

They were just terrible. And the host isn't much better. None of them seem smart at all except for that one guy. I don't want to listen to dumb people try to analyze politics.

3. To some degree yes, but I see a lot of hyperbolic nonsense in the 'MSNBC Is as Bad as Fox'

Posts that are all the rage.

Wrote a very long and perhaps tedious post that gives my opinion on this if yr interested in my thoughts at all:

Yes, I did watch MSNBC this week. I have a different take on it than you do.

4. That has been the Game Plan

since the 2012 Elections. The Republican Party is in what I call,the all in mode. They wiped the floor with this method in 2014 by convincing the 10%ers to stay home and this is just the continuation of their plan.

If the Democratic Party loses in November,we have no one to blame but ourselves . Local Media is already working their message of discouragement. All you need to do is look at the Commercials for goods and services. Call it the feel good and oh well,gee everything is good and those folks in the add are telling me it's cool. Go on about your business,we got you covered.

5. It is the weekend after

a very long convention week. Most of their better talent are probably catching up on their sleep - Chris Hayes, Joy Reed, Lawrence O'Donnell, Eugene Robinson, Tamron Hall, Craig Melvin, Thomas Roberts, etc.

That being said, I do think MSNBC is not what it used to be, but there are still some good contributors and hosts worth watching.

6. FOX lite

Joy trotted out Toure this morning. But, then she got into the weeds, "both sides do it' crap, and I had to turn it off. She has got nails on her chair in case she turns into Melissa Harris Perry.
