here...I record...I was up early so I tuned in this morning. I've already deleted.....the sound is on "mute" and I too am scratching Kornaki off my list as I have also noticed a "slide" over the past month or so.
Screw it. Screw M$NBC.
Why waste my time on any media if I can't learn something of significance about the actual issues important to most all of us, regardless of political affiliation.

Too much "importance" is given for "petty problems about petty issues" and the discussion(s) about the "petty he said/she said" bs? Is laughable.

Remember, the scripted "news personalities/actors" are in the 1% too.

...I thought I was watching it "live"? The "end of the tea party" segment was good, but this long HBO movie promo is a bore...

So far he's had segments on Bush and Rubio, and then featured 3-4 other R politicos, and a Florida D politician, extolling their virtues. There was something on Walker, then Chafee, and all while he's trash talking Hillary and Biden.

If this is how MSNBC is going to present their new programming, giving us a dose of low-calorie FauxNews lite, why am I even bothering to watch?

around 4 hosts who they classify as liberal. The problem is that any program that tries to present two sides to an issue is considered "liberal", which is BS. It is a republican talking point, the "liberal" media. As far as they are concerned a "fair" media is one that only puts emphasis on the conservative positive. Presenting two sides is considered "liberal" in their mind. That is why they were so happy when the "fairness" doctrine as a standard of broadcasting was eliminated.

and he can say only so much about Clinton without being repetitious. I've been listening to the Republicans, and to tell you the truth, I am envious that they have so many from which to choose - no matter where you are on the Republican chart, there's a shoe to fit your foot.

Many of us are barefoot. This morning Jim Schiutto (sp) had Jim Webb and he made a nice presentation.. Wasn't he Secy of the Navy as well as Sen. from VA?

As far as MSNBC goes, Republicans don't watch it, nor Independents I don't think. Candidates get better exposure on CNN than either MSNBC or FOX. I see some hosts on CNN as possible Dems, tho they don't admit it.
