Dana Bash is a bad joke, just like the network she works for

Expand full comment

None of the others are any better. A few shows on MSNBC are legit, but that's it.---Jason

Totally agree- Lawrence O’Donnell is a national treasure. I was never a cable news watcher to start with so it’s no great loss for me, but the mainstream media has completely sold out their viewers & our country

Expand full comment

O'Donnell was exactly who I was thinking of. The rest of the network, including Maddow, varies, but Maddow's job has changed now she is basically paid to anchor special coverage, show up once a week, except for these first 100 days, and creating documentaries and podcasts. Lawrence O'Donnell is the only consistent nightly presence who has his finger on the pulse of what's going on.---Jason

If folks want to watch a good daytime "legit" news program they should tune in to "Deadline: White House" with Nicole Wallace. She points to- and calls out all the chaos and incompetence of Musk and Trump's administration.

Expand full comment

Nicole Wallace is brave and brilliant.

Expand full comment

I like her too- which network is she on?

Expand full comment

MSNBC. Every show past Morning Joe is worth watching: Velshi, Jen Psaki, Stephanie Ruhle, Nicole - those are the strongest.

Excellent, thanks for the list. What's the best alternative for Amazon? I'm hooked on its easy shopping & delivery service.

Expand full comment

I try local first, Costco, Target, Bestbuy and Ebay in a pinch. I have never tried Etsy. "Hooked" is what monopolies want; like pimps and pushers. Keep looking.

No, Jason-Rachel Maddow is on every night now and she will be for the next 3 to 4 months. MSNBC has other honest great journalists too - Lawrence O’Donnell, Nicole Wallace, Joy Reid, Velshi, Jen Psaki, Stephanie Ruhle & Chris Hayes. They are all holding Felon47, Musk, Vance and his admin to the fire, really. I thought the same thing and then I put MSNBC on a week and a half ago and they’re all telling the facts and the truth!

Expand full comment

I really like Chris Hayes on “All In" i think he is an intelligent man who has guests on who can talk about the days happenings.

Expand full comment

I Agree completely with you Jason on Lawrence but I like Ari too.

Expand full comment

Follow defense contracts and who benefits. Amy is always informed and fair. I trust her and believe she is the right person to help lead the country out of the chaos and back on track.

Expand full comment

He and Rachel are the only TV news I can stomach to watch now. That even took me awhile to do. My phone is lit up all day with great feeds from Substack and Meidastouch mighty. Hardly watch tv anyway. Thanks for keeping us informed. We are an army and are mobilizing for our country. At 74 wish I could do more.

It’ no wonder Jim Acosta left CNN. They are fast becoming a Right-Wing propaganda machine. One has to look for Independent Media sources now because legacy media has bent the knee.

Expand full comment

Jim Acosta didn't leave. He was pushed out. CNN tried to move his timeslot to midnight to 2 AM.---Jason

Expand full comment

Meaning: CNN bent the proverbial knee

Expand full comment

They didn't bent their knee. It's called kissing ass. I have stopped watching cnn and suggest everyone does the same.

Expand full comment

I live in Florida. I watch CNN’s coverage of hurricanes and mass shootings. Otherwise, not so much.

Expand full comment

Several years ago! Steadily getting more into ultra right wing.

He did leave voluntarily rather than accept that demotion.

Expand full comment

yes , he decided to leave & we are very happy that Jim Acosta came to substack!

Good for Senator Klobuchar! It's one thing to save the day when the next day brings a return to (somewhat) normal. But to save the day for the Republicans to wreck the government and the economy is a fool's errand.

Expand full comment

Amy says it like it is, thank goodness.

Expand full comment

Finally Klobuchar brings the fire! That’s what we need!!!

Expand full comment

I'm from MN and have always voted for Amy. She has always in the past been pretty middle of the road, to my disappointment, but she has finally got the fire! You go Amy!!!

Expand full comment

I went to a rally of hers in IA when she ran for President. Very knowledgeable and a great public speaker.

Expand full comment

Why should Dems support the extremist maga agenda with their votes? They will not compromise with Dems. It’s their govt to run and they have already dented many of the fenders. You go Amy! Loud and proud!

Expand full comment

Shut it down…shut it all down and it will be on the republicans because they are running the government democrats..do not help them out if this one.

Expand full comment

We knew the Republicans would blame the Democrats for all the problems that Trump and Elon are causing. We need to stand firm. Make the rich pay their fair share.

Expand full comment

ANYONE watching this country over the past 15-20 YEARS should know that the GOP will ALWAYS accuse the DEMS of being the perpetrators of anything and everything wrong with America. Mitch McConnell, addressing the election of Barack Obama said publicly that their mission was to make Obama a one term President. They are hypocrites , liars and PROJECTIONISTS and they found the PERFECT STOOGE AND PUPPET IN tRUMP. The complete DESTRUCTION OF OUR WAY OF LIFE AND OUR FREEDOMS AND OUR DEMOCRACY is in full swing and full view NOW!

Expand full comment

Bash is horrible and a COWARD. Blaming Democrats when Republicans control both Senate and House is like blaming Black people for racism. MSM is fraught w con artists pretending to be journalists. 👎🏼

Expand full comment

or blaming Ukraine for being invaded?!?

Expand full comment

Perfectly stated. Dana’s a stooge. Not high in the IQ dept. Amy and you definitely are.

Expand full comment

I no longer watch Legacy MSM. They and the corporate CEOs have made it clear that they are going to be backing Trump‘s fascist take over for their financial gain. The new agenda is not telling the true news that is taking place. It is about shilling for the big orange turd and Republicans in order to facilitate to take over. Straight up, lies and spin. You would be a fool to keep watching and listening to them. So from the deepest depths of my soul fkcnn & all legacy media companies. IJS.

Dana Bash is so inept and senseless..

Expand full comment

It is not just Bash. It is the entire mainstream media that believes this. To blame one anchor is to miss the forest through the trees.---Jason

Expand full comment

Not the entire media.

Expand full comment

Watch “THE WEEKEND” on MSNBC, Saturdays 7 AM to 10 AM, and Sundays 8 AM to 10 AM. Hosts Michael Steele, Alicia Menendez, and Simone Sanders-Townsend provide great insight and commentary.

Expand full comment

Can I get some examples that you are referring to?

Expand full comment

MSNBC: Velshi, Lawrence O'Donnell, Nicole Wallace, Jen Psaki, and others. Bulwark, Meidas Touch, both on YouTube as well as on Substack, Robert Hubble. Even the WSJ and NYT seem to be discovering that POS isn't exactly good for the country. I don't do streaming and other social media, which I think makes me more of an average viewer/reader than a lot of people I've seen make comments. TV (satellite or cable) is still where the average person gets news that is more than headlines. Those folks need to be weaned away from Fox, and now CNN - that means watching MSNBC.

Rachel Maddow has not changed. I always learn From her.

Don’t forget Ari Melber and Chris Hayes, they’re great, too.

I’m tired of the media asking Democrats what they’re going to do!

Clearly pandering to Republicans is the way CNN has been going. Don’t watch them other than clips like this

Expand full comment

Me either. Except for Rachel, Nicole and Lawrence.

Expand full comment

Add Velshi - he's giving them no quarter. He's on the weekends in the morning, but he's been showing up during the week as well. I hope he gets Andrea's old time slot.

Expand full comment

Don’t forget Ari. His legal clarity helps me think.

Expand full comment

Is Andrea gone? hope so!

Expand full comment

Yes. She's doing special assignments or whatever. The last few times I caught her, she seemed to have trouble speaking, so she may have health issues.

Expand full comment

She was getting hard for me to watch as her speech pattern has changed

Expand full comment

Sorry about the possible health issues, but she needs to move on.

Expand full comment

Watch the Weeknd with Michael Steele, Alicia, Menendez, and Simone Sanders Townsend. Great coverage and great commentary MSNBC 7 AM to 10 AM Saturdays 8 AM to 10 AM Sundays. Great show.

Expand full comment

Velshi also hits the mark.

Expand full comment

Chris and Joy are great too.

Expand full comment

Good for Amy! She explained the issue simply and concisely so Dana could understand it. But I doubt it would sink in. It’s all about the ratings and sensationalism with the MSM

Expand full comment

Dana Bash and Jake Tapper and the rest at CNN surprisingly support the republicans. It is sad to see a once very informative and fact driven news agency fall to the likes of the 🍊💩 head and his band of criminals.

Amy Klobuchar is a true patriot of America as well as AOC, Adam Schiff, Bernie Sanders and the rest of the democrats trying to stop the madness.

I don’t see how those once trusted reporters can sleep at night knowing they are on the wrong side of history.

I have boycotted CNN, FOX News, OAN and other ultra conservative news outlets, permanently! The rest of America should follow suit.

Expand full comment

My sentiments, exactly! However, I do not BOYCOTT conservative news outlets - I have ALWAYS refused to entertain those misguided outlets. BTW, you can/should add Sinclair owned stations and their ultra conservative, cookie cutter news broadcasts, too.

Expand full comment

Sell-outs. I’m sick of them. That’s why I turned to this platform. On top of that… Too sad and upset to even comment about the AP being shut out of WH so-called briefings.

Expand full comment

Don’t forget Jasmine Crockett ( sp). She’s fearless !

Expand full comment

I swear on my life I’ve wondered about Tapper long before reading that post! Ugh

Expand full comment

Sticking to the main point or issue of this post, the next kick the can down the road budget dilemma will be a sign of whether the Democrats actually have the nerve and the courage to fight the Republicans

Rather than capitulate, the Democrats need to put forward some basic threshold requirements such as no tax breaks for the rich, get Elon Musk out of our government, BEFORE any talks begin - DEMS have the leverage, but they must be willing to do whatever it takes to put this on the Republicans. The real issue in my opinion is that the Democrats need to be VERY VERY VOCAL - a united voice that tells everybody who is at fault if the government shuts down - get on the nightly news, get on MSNBC, get on Fox, plus there are some wonderful independent journalist on Substack that can get the message out to a lot of people- if there’s going to be pain, then it has to be clear that the pain was caused by the Republicans and that they will pay the price for this

DO NOT SURRENDER - DO NOT GIVE IN for the sake of our democracy!!!

Expand full comment

Excellent and I totally concur. Dems need a central mouthpiece with a staff that can get out and fact-check and inform people after every single press conference and announcement. They need to get on it and fast!

Expand full comment

I can’t stand Dana Bash! Matter a fact I’m sick of her! She twists everything and tries to be relevant. Amy Klobuchar stuck to the truth.

Expand full comment

The worst thing any media outlet can do is to lose its credibility. For those who've been waiting two decades to see CNN go down for its horrific coverage when the truth is all we needed, wait no more. It's already happened and Dana Bash proved it yet again.

Expand full comment

This is why I don’t watch CNN any more

Full disclosure: this and Scott Jennings are why I won’t watch CNN any more.

Scott Jennings drove me away even when he isn’t on. Just canceled all but antenna and a couple streaming channels. BBC is free on Pluto.

Jennings is such a tool.
