Becket Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 (edited) I thought the guy was a tool. Didn't like his presentation at all. Not a hint of grace or charm. Won't miss him a bit.

Ali Gator Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 I always liked him. I DVRd his show every weekend if I wasn't home to watch him, and enjoyed when he guest hosted for other shows when the host was off that night / week. Like many other viewers, I thought it was rather peculiar - if not obvious - that MSNBC yanked him out of his chair the weekend of October 7. Everyone else was doing full coverage of what was happening overseas, but he was notably missing. There has been plenty of discussion about this on other message forums over the past two months.

+ sync Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Mehdi Hasan speaks what people need to hear rather than what they want to hear. Apparently, that generated too much heat for the powers that be at MSNBC. Shame. Ali Gator, Marc in Calif, + WilliamM and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has truly bothered me how corporate media has adversely affected our being told the truth; thus when it's been presented-- the commentator is released. I try to obtain my news from Free Speech Television, NPR, Democracy Now, and from what I can glean from the net. + tassojunior, + sync, Marc in Calif and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ Cash4Trash Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Reminds me of replacing Keith Olbermann with Al Sharpton. Billionaires own the news media - no flamethrowers allowed. Can't let the truth get in the way of ad revenue. + tassojunior 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have kept to Eastenders. Edited January 30 by tassojunior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked him too and was disappointed when was taken off. NBC News shut down Ronan Farrow for investigating Harvey Weinstein, so there is that history. Not the best.
