these reporters and practices. Stephanie Ruhle had me spitting nails with her "bothsiderism" last week. It is beyond irresponsible and is enabling some of these horrific events.

She often pops out of her hole on Andrea Mitchell Reports. The two together are heinous.

… don't know if she's favoring him for "access" as a WH reporter, but she spins Trump's way. This is not new.

than in its personality based shows like AM Joy, TRMS, Hardball and The Last Word. We should be thankful for that.

Beat reporters like Kelly O’Donnell appear on both MSNBC and NBC. They need to project a semblance of neutrality in their reporting that the opinion-based personalities do not. They need to appear as reporters, not opinion columnists.

It’s up to the Joys and Rachels of the world to take that reporting and drill down beyond the surface. They do that. Their drill down would be less effective if the reporter had gone beyond reporting. This doesn’t mean that a reporter’s opinion doesn’t occasionally or even often slip through. I’m talking about setting a baseline, and it is different for a “straight” reporter than it is for an opinion maker.

observation. And yes,it is my opinion also. Another one is Bennett. None of this shit stops until the owners of the Media demand Trump and his Ilk are told to knock it off.

Waiting for the likes of Sheldon Adelson and Ricketts as well as Steve Wynn to tell Trump to shape up or else. These Three are major movers and shakers in the Jewish Community
