Related: About this forumBrian Williams not watchable.
Turned it off after he had allowed Pence to spew lies for 13 minutes with no push back.
Williams = Laurer.
I wish they would cancel his 11 o'clock show and start the evening reruns.

(3,284 posts)Williams let Pence walk all over him - no pushback whatsoever. I just turned it off.

(112 posts)Could not believe how he let Pence run on and on with 'his' talking points instead of answering the questions.

(24,324 posts)There really IS no news on the "news" shows.
It is all just fake reality teevee.

(6,974 posts)True.
His show is allegedly going to last until a bit after the election is over.
I've never liked him. EVER. Even before he got caught in those series of lies then suspended/punished.
He, like Mrs. Greenspan--his twin in the day--are 3rd rate @ what they do, and in Williams case "news reading."

(5,624 posts)They should have put JOY REID on there as the host............
Brian is so anti Hillary.....I really feel that.
Protalker
(418 posts)He is nauseating. They must have a contract from evening news to pay off. He is enough to go CNN. I'm getting to like Don Lemon. Not too enamored with L. O'D.

(27,742 posts)Williams asks a question, pence doesn't answer but instead farts out wet shit about nothing.

(601 posts)Saying Dumpster offered to replace the UN's background green tiles, if askeds; so far, according to Williams, no one has asked. Dry whit, I suppose.
Totally agree that real questions need to be asked of Mr Penny and all others. :vomit:

(601 posts)MSNBC is soooooooo effing white, it's like Radio Antarctica, or something.
Joy adds a little realism & a different perspective that the privileged liberals who make up the usual demographic (I presume) sorely need. Still waiting on a bit more "diversity"/proper representation from this channel.
PS: I'm relatively new to MSNBC. It's shockingly not representative.
Democrats Ascendant
(601 posts)Joy needs a REAL time slot, not an "off" timing like Lemon gets on CNN.... None of this 11pm bs for Joy, please!!

(2,550 posts)But a HORRIBLE journalist.
He reads from a teleprompter well and has a calm voice. Excellent during a time of crisis or reporting war stories. I really really like him.
His current position is awful, he's not a journalist. No substance, thought, or intelligence needed.

(2,795 posts)What is wrong with these so called journalists? Williams has a 30 minute show and he gave a third of it to that douche. I must say Pence sounds far more accepting and friendly towards Trump. Probably because this is his best shot at being President. He knows that pumpkin colored turd will most likely die in office and voila, President Pence. So he'll gush and lie and cover for Trump because it is so beneficial to him.

(28,795 posts)admin.....trumpsters already told Kasich that all trump wanted to do as president was "to make America great again"
IOW, to preen and make idiotic speeches, and let Pence do the daily grind
just like he does in his make believe corporate life, where the loathsome spawn do all the work as he basks in his self induced fantasy world of all inclusive adoration
for those that loathe pence as much as I do, here's a wonderful thread, the best thread, with the best words:

(2,795 posts)Then it is. This is by far the WORST GOP candidate. I didn't think it could get any rubish, boorish and trashy than Palin, then we get the male version of Palin on steroids - Donald Trump. This has to be the bottom of the barrel but I bet 2020 will prove me wrong again. Ted Nugent is probably looking for something to do now that his music career is done.

I'm happy to say I've never subjected myself to the "11th hour."

Why is she there every damn night talking about Democratic Party issues?
What a hack.
two hacks actually.
Williams seems to really want to open the show with a 5 minute monologue of jokes too like Fallon or Colbert.

(1,779 posts)when the antiwar people chanted out, "No more war! No more war!" I believe this was during Leon Panetta's speech, but whatever, "No More War" is a slogan that should not be criticized at any Democratic convention.
What a putz!

Personally, I can't stand Williams' droning voice. It's like a leaf blower going back and forth outside the living room window.
