Kornacki starts the program with a clip from Hoboken

[malaise]

This will be good

1. The paid trolls have found UP's Facebook page.

The same bunch of trolls who regularly shout down Media Matters for America Fox threads are now shouting "Benghazi!" on Kornacki's UP! page. It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad.

6. Fugg 'em

Christie is history

13. DUzy

Most excellent

[PearliePoo2]

2. I'm really getting to like this guy!

He's similar (IMO) to Rachel, in that he lays it all out by telling a story from the beginning to give you background. Then, his panel (usually represented by both sides of the issue) discusses the subject.
He and his staff definitely are doing their research!
Go get 'em Steve!!

All this is sure making me thirsty!

[Squinch]

3. Also, he reports news, rather than just rehashing what everyone else is talking about.

Who would have thought that we would get to the point where actual investigative reporting was such an unpopulated news niche?

They need to apply their talents to the corruption in West Virginia and the private water companies' lobbying so hard for fracking all over the country.

4. Hopefully NBC will let them do that.

[PearliePoo2]

5. Yes!! Actual investigating reporting!!

So damn refreshing, ain't it? Let's hear it for "old school"!

[avebury]

7. Eventually, Steve Kornacki will need to write a comprehensive

book on all the Chris Christie scandals.

8. if kornackis reporting falls into what it take for

a Pulitzer, he will get one for what he has been doing..........

9. It may have to be a joint one with Rachel

since she was the first person on television or cable to report on Bridgegate - way before Christmas

I didn't know of his show, and it was hard to find as his name isn't included in its name, it's listed just as "Up". Even googling his name didn't lead me to his show.

So, here's the link.

I'm going to cross-post this as needed. Great reporting!

12. Beth Mason, who appears on the show- offered to pay HERSELF for the study needed to push this

project through! She used to be on the right side of issues, then became wealthy and stuff started to get ugly.
She lives on the fanciest row of large houses, and had a a party where she had a FOOTMAN deliver the invites, and skip only the neighbors on Hudson that were shared between two families. She is all about the $$$.

Now she is complaining the mayor is respecting the FBI's request that Zimmer remain silent, and whining she is not in the loop? She is working for the other side, and Zimmer knows it. Everyone knows it.

15. Yep the only thing she added to the program was exposing the fact that she's

a first rate Christie tool

[bettyellen]

16. she has been in the news for illegal campaign donations in both directions….

I worked with her 20 years ago- to stop an awful PA proposed deal for a tower building for our town. (It is now a gorgeous park-HA!!)
She was a "reformer" then, but she got totally corrupted along the way. And become an insufferable snob, LOL.

[malaise]

17. Money and power can really destroy people

Glad you got your park

[bettyellen]

18. It is gorgeous, and improves the quality of life for so many! Am very proud of it.

[Cha]

19. I didn't like her for obvious reasons. She sounds like

a Christie stooge. Didn't know this about her.. just from my initial impressions.

thanks bettyellen
