Chris "No Ratings" Hayes looks giddy bringing up the Hillary email story

He had guests who looked to be on the GOP side just trashing Hillary. I wonder how Hayes keeps his show despite his low ratings? Maybe Universal/Comcast is keeping him there for just this kind of work?

... how ALL the networks started carrying the GOP's water under the guise of 'patriotism' and, more importantly, ratings?

Is his information accurate?

That is the main criteria for me.

If I thought ratings equaled quality I'd watch Fox.

MSNBC trashed his ratings when they shoved him into a one hour time slot during the week. Hayes is not the problem, the problem is that the guys in charge at MSNBC don't seem to want their lefties to do too well, and screw with them if they do.


Is this slamming of Hayes a talking point now, btw? This is the second time I've seen a thread with almost the exact same attack on Hayes.

Is he just under the bus for covering a story you don't want to see covered?

I believe Rush Limbaugh said the left would give the Republicans the air time to hang them with or something like that. In any case this version of M$NBC is deader than Judge Crater's corpse.
