I listened to Nicole Wallace, and that one-track hack, Hewitt, blathering away with his looney conspiracy theories, misinformation and outright lies about Hillary, Obama and other Democrats as if he thinks he's talking from his hate radio seat. They must know up front that the contract with MSNBC precludes the hosts from challenging them or even arguing from an opposing POV. It makes me cringe watching them all, Williams, and even Maddow, politely thank them for spewing out their venom and never say a word of disagreement.
