Watching Nicole Wallace

[AverageOldGuy]

Discussion is about the Biden classified documents.

Nicole Wallace sounds to me as though she is convinced that Biden is as guilty as Trump.

Meanwhile, all her guests are talking about how Garland moves too slowly, is too cautious.

1. I really did not get that impression...

actually, the opposite.

[Earth-shine]

2. +1 Just caught a bit of it.

[ucralum]

7. Definitely not my impression either.

It seemed quite clear that she sees the Biden situation as a nothing burger.

[Polly Hennessey]

14. Not my impression either.

[IA8IT]

3. Not at all IMHO

[Sneederbunk]

4. They are all failing to ask and answer the most important question.

How does the Biden case affect the prosecution of the Maralago case?

[ecstatic]

5. No, I think she's pissed at the stunning hypocrisy and double standards of the doj

I only saw a brief segment, but that's the impression I got. She's angry.

6. That doesn't sound like NW & from

reading the thread.. others don't think that's true.

NW is into Reality.. so not the same.

[Funtatlaguy]

8. No. She has called it apples and oranges.

[wryter2000]

10. I didn't get that at all

I missed the beginning, but I didn’t think she thought Biden had done anything wrong.

11. Feel like we watched different content.

Nicolle W. said at one point she thought AG Garland was trying to appease the Republicans, especially Kevin McCarthy, by appointing a Special Counsel to the Biden doc. case. She said,(paraphrasing here),that she found that approach to be pointless since the R's would continue to go after Garland and the Dems., especially Biden.

She compared it to someone in a river with an alligator trying to fight the alligator with a chair. The alligator always wins, Nicolle said.

The panel was divided as to whether SC should have been appointed, but all, including Nicolle, started from the basis of the 2 doc. cases being quite different.

12. Cable commercials channel with small breaks of

opinion. I can't stand the commercials any more and what the talkers have to say isn't worth the long long commercial breaks. Thank the Universe for streaming.

[liberalmediaaddict]

15. Yeah the commercials are excessive

On Nicole's 2 hour show you get 40 minutes worth of ads. Makes it impossible to watch live and remember what guests were talking about.

I usually DVD-R it or wait to listen to it on Spotify. Also Peacock puts her show on demand without commercials the day after it airs

[skylucy]

13. Huh? Nicole is not saying that at all.

[snowybirdie]

16. Not getting caught up

In this farce. It'll be constant discussion on this topic, just like Hillary's emails. Turning to law and order reruns for now.

[TreasonousBastard]

18. Best bet

[bdamomma]

24. it is a farce

because we know the GQP has wanted to slander President Biden. The GQP has nothing else, they are not doing the Peoples' work not for the next 2 years. Such deplorables.

[Hekate]

17. That is not what she said or how she said it

My gods.

[TheProle]

20. Talking heads are little more than Rorshach ink blots nowadays

They "say" whatever you want so you can feel comforted or pissed off, as needed.

[emulatorloo]

22. Ihmo Wallace, Maddow, O'Donnell say what they mean and mean what they say.

Although I get your point. See that on networks other than night time msnbc.

[TheProle]

23. Yes, I was being facetious.

The bottom line is, if two people watch the same segment and come away with wildly different interpretations, cognitive bias is at work on one, if not both, of them.

[moonscape]

19. Quite the contrary, re Wallace

[Pachamama]

21. Nicole Wallace did not say nor imply that the document issue is the same

I think it was an outstanding discussion and her guests were good too.
