Why I Only Watch Nicolle Wallace

[gab13by13]

Once again her lead segment was the importance of holding Trump and his inner circle accountable. She gets to the heart of the matter show after show, when is DOJ going to pull the trigger, has DOJ decided yet if it is proper to indict a former president?

She laid out the evidence, the facts that were dug up by the J6 committee and the consensus show after show is that there is enough evidence right now to indict Trump and others for several crimes, not every crime, but several crimes.

The rest of cable news is out to lunch just doing segments on what domestic oligarchs want them talking about.

[Karadeniz]

1. She's wonderful! But I also try to catch Lawrence O'D because he puts the heart into issues.

[PatSeg]

16. I try to mix it up

I watch less cable news than I used to, so some days I just watch one maybe two shows. I really like Lawrence's opening segment. Other days I'll watch Nicolle Wallace or Chris Hayes. Occasionally I'll watch Ari Melber.

[Karadeniz]

34. Those are my go-to's also. I don't even bother with MSNBC during the day.

[PatSeg]

35. Same here

I only watch daytime cable news when there is a major news story going on like an election or a hearing or today's vote for the speaker. I try if possible to avoid Andrea Mitchell, She really irritates me, so it isn't worth the effort.

For awhile my favorite news host was Brian Williams and I was so unhappy when he left. He was so professional, amiable, and subtly witty.

I'd watch Katy Tur if she was on later.

[Pachamama]

2. She became my #1 when Rachel left - Lawrence is my #2

Cannot stand Alex Wagner and is a terrible host

3. My Resolution For 2023 Is To Waste Far Less Time With TV "News"

How many times do I have to hear these guests discuss how THIS time he’ll be held accountable?

How many times will they get paid to appear and be completely wrong?

4. She is really good at her job. And yet she's very personal

and fun to watch. She has impeccable ethics. She's kind of the opposite Kayleigh M. She is really naturally pretty and so well spoken. And , boy does she know her stuff.

She has her husband on as a contributer but they are so professional that I still don't know which one he is.

[Ilsa]

7. She is pleasant and "real". Nothing fake about her.

She's very likeable. I watch her first hour every day, and usually watch part of the second hour, depending on what is happening that day.
I watch the early part of Morning Joe to catch up on any overnight political news. I can't watch all of it, and segments are repeated on the show.

[leftyladyfrommo]

8. She's deceptively very tough. She is so fast and has the

courage to ask the dangerous questions.

[karin_sj]

17. It's Michael Schmidt

From the NY Times. They seem like such an unlikely couple, but you're right, you'd never know they are a couple by watching them because they are such professionals.

[PatSeg]

18. Michael Schmidt

That is probably because he was a regular before they got married.

[Paladin]

5. One of my favorites, as well. (nt)

[kentuck]

6. She's a fighter!

She has never turned it loose. I admire her for that.

[brush]

9. She's good. I give her credit for coming over from the dark side...

as a former republican and seeing the light. trump's antics have awaken other former republicans, which is a good thing.

I enjoy her show, but MSNBC's afternoon line-up of hosts is pretty strong as well — Melber, Reid, Hayes, O'Donnell are all top shelf IMO.

[gab13by13]

11. They would be bench sitters on my network.

Both siderism man.
I may turn on Reid to catch what she is wearing.
I admit to watching Hayes once in a while, he is Nicolle lite.
O'Donnell always wants to out scoop everyone. I was watching the Bills/Bengals game when the horrific injury happened so later I flipped on Lawrence to see if he had an update. I think he got himself in trouble last night by repeating a Tweet from an agent of Hamlin's giving a medical status report. I haven't seen that information verified yet today.

[brush]

21. Your opinion. I don't agree, and Wallace is not perfect either.

I still feel that her being formerly a republican still colors her judgment somewhat. But I do welcome her for coming over from the dark side. The others i mentioned didn't need trump's maga antics to know which side works for the people and not the rich.

[gab13by13]

10. My ears perk up

when she says these words to a guest, "I have to push back on that." Her guest is in for a strong dose of reality.

[PatSeg]

20. And she does it so nicely

So many hosts when they try to "push back" are rude and overbearing.

[Javaman]

12. She's cleaning her soul after being george w. Morons speech writer nt

[3catwoman3]

13. And for being the one who had the hopeless task...

…of trying to get Palin campaign ready. She found that so distasteful and distressing that she was not able to vote for McCain.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

19. She got a good, sobering look at where her work was taking her and the rest of us.

[brush]

22. Now you're talking. i do welcome her over from the dark side.

[iemanja]

14. If I watch cable news, it's her show

[Fla Dem]

15. Pretty much the only one I watch. "Deadline: White House" is on permanent record.

[LogicFirst]

23. Ari Melber only - until he gets going on that hip-hop stuff.

[William Seger]

25. My biggest complaint about the current MSNBC evening lineup is...

... that very often, all of them cover the same stories without adding anything new. That just makes me feel like I wasted a lot of time.

[luvtheGWN]

27. That's just the way it is with 24/7 cable news.

Not like the old days when you got your network news at 6p.m. and 11p.m. And when it was only news and not opinion -- that was left for a very few specific shows.

I don't get MSNBC, just CNN. It's the same there - every hour it's a repeat story with a new host.

[William Seger]

31. Yes, but MSNBC has gotten distinctly worse since Rachel and Brian Williams left

It's understandable that there will be some overlap, but it seems to be getting to be somewhere around 90%.

[The Wizard]

24. Why are the legislators

who aided and abetted the J6 terrorists no behind bars. Removing these criminals from office would go a long way to restoring civility.

[gab13by13]

28. Just my humble opinion,

but it appears to me that members of Congress are off base to an institutionalist A.G. Maybe that Perry guy from Pa. will be an exception but I'm not betting on it.

[Greybnk48]

26. I watch Nicole every day, Rachel on Mondays, and Lawrence

several times a week. Those are my three.

[LiberalFighter]

29. I watch Nicolle Wallace the first hour. I have local news following.

I watch Rachel on Mondays. And might catch O'Donnell depending on how late I stay up. I tape his to catch him later if needed.

Sometimes I might catch Chris Hayes.

I do not like Alex Wagner or the morning or early afternoon.

[Jarqui]

30. Like many, I'd love to have seen TFG indicted ages ago

But I still am uncomfortable passing harsh judgement on the DoJ efforts.
We do not know all the facts.
Who are they trying to flip?
What other evidence are they trying to collect?
etc, etc

As Nicole and so many other have pointed out: they have a lot of evidence - enough to indict.
Everything happens for a reason.
I strongly suspect they have their reasons for not indicting yet.

One positive is that Trump seems to sense it. He's squirming. I don't mind that.

[nevergiveup]

32. Nicolle is super smart, pretty, very emphatic

and at the same time she takes no prisoners. I could care less that she was once a Republican as no one is perfect and I think this gives her a unique perspective. Converts can become your strongest allies. She is my only "must" watch. I have her on auto-record.

[BComplex]

33. I watch the entire lineup from Nicole to Stephanie.

Chris Hayes is my favorite, but I really like them all. And of course I never miss Rachel's show on Monday.

I think every single one of the MSNBC night time anchors are absolutely great.
