Why is Alex Wagner sounding defeated?

[madashelltoo]

I loved her at noon with a panel where she was the moderator. Today she's talking about democrats losing the house, the senate or both. Delivering Msnbc's apology to Rinse P. Did I miss something other than the rich folks are trying to buy the country? Running pathetic commercials filled with lies? Everything they've been doing. Why so down in the mouth?

P.S. The tweeter was fired today too. How many msnbc bodies will be sacrificed on the altar when Fox fires none?

1. MSNBC ruined Alex Wagner's program.

This new format doesn't work for her, imo.

2. I really like Alex...but I think she talks too much with this new program.

3. I agree, I was upset at her 'defeated' sound,

at this point!

4. What's with the apology? The tweet didn't ever refer to the GOP, did it?

I thought it referred to right-wingers, and it certainly is true that right-wingers on average are uncomfortable with all these racial issues. It is a case of "If the shoe fits, then wear it. And if it doesn't fit, then don't." If Reince Priebus isn't a racist and none of the people in his Party are racists, then the tweet doesn't apply to any of them.

But by objecting so strongly, I guess we see the shoe does fit very well.

5. All these beltway morons (including MSNBC) simply play the narrative of the day.

The narrative of the day is that because Obama's speech wasn't thrilling, all is lost.
