reopened, after Comey sent the letter to the republicans in Congress. That was a LIE, and for the next two hours they paraded every right wing politician across their screen propagating that LIE. The other outlets following shortly there after with the same LIE, but MSNBC was the first network to intentionally misrepresent what happened.

The first thing I did on November 9, was downgrade my Satellite service so I no longer receive CNN, MSNBC, fox, and CNBC

here on DU.

Whether they were technically the first or not, I cannot say, but when I turned to MSNBC they were exploiting and distorting it for everything they could, and every right wing politician was given an opportunity to reinforce it.

" All three cable news networks have covered the story non-stop since it broke, often adopting the “re-opening” framing and suggesting the news is a major election bombshell. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump himself subsequently echoed that language, adding that Clinton’s actions were “worse than Watergate.”

Lately I like Lawrence O'Donnell the best. I always feel better after watching him. He understands Congress and what the President can do .

The reporters let them crap out of their mouths until they get tired and then a REALLY pertinent question is uttered--then the Cons change the subject and try to run away

don't worry about them spewing talking points--most of the MSNBC crew, EVEN ANDREA! is hip to their BS and allows them to use their own tongues to hang themselves. New regime. I'm liking it.

Ali Belshi, Stephanie Ruhle, Katie Tur, Kasey and Ari and Halley--all great (some new) morning hires.

There are a couple that prattle the Repub line and don't seem to know the difference--that's annoying, but avoidable.
