I don't like this Thomas Roberts on MSNBC

Looks like MSNBC has made a hard right turn with him. He's doing nothing but making vague allegations and inuendo that HRC is hiding something including why she used a private server.

And someone, please tell me why he needs the stiff haired brunette to do his flunky work? Does he think it's the Joe and Mika show all over?

left for news.

Democracy Now is not mainstream, is not known by 96% of the population, idiocracy will be very soon now.

For instance, the smartest and most accurate and honest person on television other than Amy Goodman is

RACHEL MADDOW

But Lawrence O'Donnell is also brilliant and honest completely.

They do have a slant though, it is liberal, because the truth is liberal.

I usually like Tom Roberts..and every media is "making vague allegations and inuendo(s)"...nothing new there....

but the program could do w/o that dizzy brunette....she does nothing to add to the program's output....

It's disappointing to say the least. I'm definitely not happy with Thomas Roberts. It's like he's auditioning for a Faux News gig.

but he's not a wingnut.He was sorta pathetic when he asked both Tweety and Chuckie Todd to talk with him after Sec Clinton's press conference, though.

Not that there is anything related with being good and gay. Just saying...he came out last year. He actually seemed to be a pretty good reporter, but he does seem to have switched sides and is now more inclined to toe the party line (not our party) which I don't quite understand. Maybe a good paycheck, benefits, and a cushy day job makes you lose your soul.

Before he went to Way too Early/Morning Joe. He's no winger, and he's a smart man. I recall the reaction to his interview with Reince Priebus. He was fantastic- and got a lot of support here on DU. Here's just one example

I get if people don't like his tone today, but the assumption that he's just another right wing tool is off base.
