(32,607 posts)Is there a school for Republicans and Alt-Right crazies where they learn to talk over and away from the questions?

(3,737 posts)no one will interrupt them and then the minute anyone else has their turn, the Trump ***holes start talking over them. It is so rude and unprofessional. They need to have their microphone turned off when they do it. And yep, they always ignore the question they are asked and just start lying about Hillary. They definitely don't get away it with Joy. Joy needs to give the other journalists lessons on how to handle the liars and bullies.

(81,181 posts)And I notice a small number of other MSNBC hosts taking a page from her - and NOT letting the assholes come on and filibuster and talk over and avoid the question and start changing the subject and dodging and diverting and distracting and just generally being rude. She steps all over them and makes them stop in one way or other. INSTANT behavior modification. INSTANT correction of bad behavior. INSTANT. Which is how it should be.
Btw - as to your question about whether there's a school for this shit (the CON misbehavior, that is), yeah, there is.
Most of the knuckle-dragger "think tanks" and foundations and institutes out there on the far wrong do indeed try to find young, up 'n' coming and of course, ambitious prospects to grow, nurture, and groom to go on the air or build big-time bylines or other positions of media prominence.
But more specifically, there IS one in particular, that's an entity all in and of itself, not just as a department of the American Enterprise Institute or Americans for Tax Fairness or the Heritage Foundation or whatever highfalutin crap name they come up with to disguise their evil intent. It's called the Collegiate Network:
"Graduates of Collegiate Network newspapers have become professional journalists, including the editor of National Review Rich Lowry, CNN and ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl, New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, and author Dinesh D'Souza." !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I read about it long ago. It shits out all kinds of new spawn that attempt and sometimes succeed in getting hired at big time media outlets AND BRINGING THEIR CON AGENDA INTO THEIR JOBS WITH THEM.
I read somewhere that this little blonde cutesy-poo on the Food Network, Melissa D'Arabian, is also a graduate of the Collegiate Network.
BEWARE. BE FOREWARNED. And DON'T BE FOOLED!

(81,181 posts)Joy Reid has been impressive since she first started, but she has become demonstrably better since she's reemerged at MSNBC with a show on weekends and weekday fill-in duty. She's REALLY good now. She tolerates NO bullshit or rudeness or blabber-mouthing.

(3,056 posts)Any day on Hardball without the human weather vane is a good one. Love Joy Reid! She doesn't let the Trumpsters get away with anything. They'll talk over her like the rude bastards they are, but then she'll just come back at them and call them out about not answering the question, and ask it again.

(532 posts)I quit watching him long ago. He thinks he is a prosecuting attorney with his guests and is obnoxious and refuses to even allow them to respond to his interrogations. Time for MSNBC to let him go.
