I can't stand Kornacki

[gopiscrap]

[Rice4VP]

1. I think he's great

[elleng]

14. Thanks, Rice4, I agree.

[Casandia]

26. So do I

I watched a different guy over the weekend on MSNBC trying to explain the polls. It was pretty bad... Steve K is a little hyper, but nothing offensive, or stupid, or arrogant. So, ya, I won’t change the channel when he’s on.

[Codeine]

43. Same here.

He’s an enthusiast.

[bdamomma]

52. He loves his job.

I will watch him before Chuckie Todd.

[mbusby]

2. Yea....

...verily.

[doc03]

3. I can't either, he comes on I switch channels. nt

[brooklynite]

4. Better keep watching so you're sure about that...

[Funtatlaguy]

5. I flip to CNN whenever he comes on. Then flip back at next commercial.

I live in a Kornacki free household.

[cwydro]

6. Why?

[Under The Radar]

7. Smartest guy in the class, sits on the front row, teachers pet

He does most of our work for us and makes us smarter by just having him in class with us.

[elleng]

17. Darn right!

[Codeine]

44. Exactly.

And unafraid to look silly by bringing genuine energy and enthusiasm to the subject of elections.

[Sneederbunk]

8. I can't stand FOX

so I haven't watched since 2004

[oregonjen]

16. ??? Kornacki is on MSNBC

[Hamer555]

9. I stopped rolling my sleves up because of this guy. Do not want to be associated in any way....

[handmade34]

10. ...

sat next to him at the 2012 Convention... he was very pleasant and likable... he has a job to do and he does it the way his boss wants

[BarbD]

11. Not sure why I don't like him, but I don't.

He is annoying so I switch channels.

[brush]

12. I get a right wing vibe from him. Always have.

[gopiscrap]

19. same here

plus he seems like he's on speed when he talks

[greenjar_01]

13. He's an asshole

[WSHazel]

25. Olbermann hates him

I think Kornacki is a phony and as bothsidesy as it gets. Trump is getting killed in the polls, yet he presents WI and MI as if they could go either way. Either he is an analyst or he isn't.

[Codeine]

46. He's an entertainer, just like Olbermann.

Cable news is entertainment first, foremost, and always. Just like Rachel Maddow drawing five minutes of information and analysis out to an hour broadcast. They’re trying to keep your eyes on the screen so they can sell you to their advertisers. You’re the product.

[OnDoutside]

49. Wash your mouth out ! Olbermann is class, Kornacki isn't.

[Hoyt]

15. I like him. If trump is ahead early, Kornacki knows where outstanding votes are and how they lean.

[NurseJackie]

18. Imagine what it must be like to live with him. His boyfriend must be VERY tolerant.

[marble falls]

20. If he'd just roll down his freaking sleeves.

[FakeNoose]

21. He does a job that nobody else wants

... and I think he does it well. Granted sometimes he's a little over the top, but he makes these dry numbers interesting, and he does good research. The MSNBC hosts don't want to do that stuff, so everyone is glad Steve is doing the brunt of it.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

22. I don't mind him, although I rarely see him

since I don't have a regular TV.

But yeah, all of you who can't stand him, or don't like any other person out there, changing the channel or even turning your TV off entirely is always an excellent option.

[Joedog]

23. The best "big board" guy

Is John King on CNN

[redstateblues]

36. Yep. King is good without the histrionics

[gracemcdonald]

24. You'll love him tomorrow!

When the blue wave results start rolling in

[Tom Rinaldo]

27. Don't like his energy. or his summations of where things stand, BUT

when he drills down on a specific election return down to which bell weather precincts are reporting and how, and when he isolates specific demographic groups and compares how they are reacting this election compared to another, or how they share similarities with voters in other states where more returns are available, he is the best at the business.

I watch him to help understand what is really going on. Most of the time he says stuff I already know in an unpleasant way, but sometimes he really delivers the goods, and that is why I always pay attention to his segments.

[miyazaki]

28. Don't know him, but I am already sick of hearing about him here.

-At a glance, he looks like a young ghouliani and acts like a fucking spazoid.

I agree with the OP.

[USALiberal]

42. Spazoid??? How trump would talk! Nt

[Codeine]

47. Yeah, that's a slur, in case you were unaware.

He’s clearly spectrum-y, and he shouldn’t be condemned for that. I got called a spaz a lot growing up, and it ain’t cool.

[Celerity]

29. I really like him, if you do not care for him, do not watch him

[Bleacher Creature]

30. I can't stand olives!!

[chillfactor]

31. I really like him

[hlthe2b]

32. If he's giving good news then all his hyperfreneticism, while exhausting, is just fine..

But when he applies the same "zeal" to bad news, it makes me want to send something flying through the television.

[Beaverhausen]

33. Yeah can we not have multiple " I hate Kornacki" threads this time?

Just change the channel.

[Hamer555]

34. Maybe if he blinked more.....

[COLGATE4]

35. +1

[crimycarny]

37. I can't either -- his energy makes me nervous

I used to think he was almost “rooting” for bad news in results and polls (bad news for Dems). But now I think it’s just he gets so excited by the data that he’s tone deaf about presentation.

Anyway, he just makes me too nervous so I change the channel when he comes on.

[Earthshine2]

38. The endless hypotheticals are tiresome.

I saw Kornacki on TV yesterday. Hillary was winning, but it's close.

[Zambero]

39. I don't quite understand the animosity toward Kornacki

Yes, his Joe Cocker-ish hand gestures can be a bit much at times, although his analytical approach to interpreting election data, polling, demographics, and trends is helpful, over and above the raw numbers we see most of the time. He seems objective in his presentations, and not focused on providing biased happy talk for a mostly liberal audience. Not to say that he is always right in his forecasts, but who is?

[USALiberal]

40. Your problem, not his! He is great! Nt

[LuvNewcastle]

41. I like his pants.

Reminds me of those pants my mom used to buy me when I was twelve, the kind that came with their own stretchy-belt. He must have cleaned Sears out of clothes before they went under.

[MRDAWG]

45. I love him**

*

[Sogo]

48. I think he's the best in the business.

[Codeine]

53. I certainly feel like I understand more

after watching him.

[Cartaphelius]

50. Good for you.

Either stop watching him, or get over your mad spot or
seek professional help.

There is already way too much hate already. We don't need
to hate people we typically will never encounter in real life
let alone carry that useless baggage around rent free in our heads.

Be safe. Vote!

[TomSlick]

51. Yeah, he's tiresome.

He's competent and interested in his job. He knows the history and demographics of important states at the county level. He assumes his audience is informed and intelligent.

Those smart guys can be so irritating.
