will Matthews let her get away with on air in the segment?
Over/under is 5. that's a good betting number.
Conway is a walking tsunami of lies, false equivalence, and straw man tactics.
Chris won't be able to keep up so he'll wind up agreeing with her of course.

I love watching Joy Reid go after right wing nuts. It's a thing of beauty.

(6,974 posts)Agree.
I can't take anymore of this "Kellyann is a brilliant this or that" crapola any longer.
If she was so brilliant, then why hasn't she helped ANYONE make it into the White House?
She does have skills, because she's managed to be an advisor/pollster for a very long time with LITTLE success that I can see.
Again WHO has she helped make it into the White House?
Hey now that I think about it, she fits right in with tRump. She's a liar, horrible at her job, yet she can STILL sell herself--just like her buddy tRump can to his demented followers.

(37,364 posts)heard today on MSNBC today ends up in a discussion of ad buys, something Trump has not done in the past. If that campaign starts tossing ad money around, the media will find lots of reasons to make him palatable and stop fact checking his statements. We have lots of work to do. Man the shovels.

(6,974 posts)With you. I have several friends who think the race is over and they tell me that DAILY. I try to tell them that no it isn't, because many in the media desperately want a horse race and to boost their ratings, and I'm sure as you said they'll stop doing the fact checking they're doing to get that horse race meme going. My friends say I'm negative, and I tell them that I'm being realistic because there have been NO debates, Dems MUST WORK to GOTV, and because you just KNOW that one of these days there could be something popping up out of Camp Hillary that the press is going to jump on and run like the wind with with which could drive Hillary's poll numbers down--which is what many in the media crave/want.
No, once he starts in with his MOSTLY false, pants on fire or 5 Pinocchio ads, I'm pretty sure the media won't bother fact-checking him much if at all any longer. THEY want a horse race and what better way to get that horse race meme than if tRump starts eating away at Hillary's lead even if it is on the strength of lies and Got damn lies?

(3,975 posts)Matthews had Ann Coulter, Vampira of the North, on 4x in 2 months, earlier in the year. Never once challenged her vile spew. Paycheck from Andy Lack means you shut up and let the Rs, who they are paying big bucks to appear on MSNBC, yammer.

So let's stop that lie now.
Buckeye_Democrat
(14,853 posts)He's knowledgeable after many years in politics, but he's not logical and consistent enough for me to watch him very long.
He also interrupts his guests too much. I just saw him questioning guests about Bannon, but not allowing them to utter more than a few words before he spewed more baseless conjectures about what motivates him.
