MSNBC is so disappointing! They are quick to be done with Mehdi Hassan, a journalist with excellent interviewing skills who asked challenging questions.

And they are fine with mediocre journalism from Andrea Mitchell. Chuck Todd’s interviews were pathetic for years before they let him go, only to replace him with Kristen Welker.

Sad.

Could be wrong, I don't watch it every day, but since 10/7 I don't think Andrea Mitchell has had a single guest on about Israel/Palestine who wasn't either from the Israeli government or the US government. There you go, the full spectrum of acceptable opinion, both sides: Israeli and American. I think that covers it all, don't you?

Wow. He reduced that Israeli guy to a babbling idiot.

Yes, by doing his homework, by being prepared, by having the facts ready to refute the lies. Things that no other MSNBC host does when interviewing Israeli or US government officials.

How am I not surprised that the place you'd go for an unhinged rant about how Muslim MSNBC hosts are supporting Hamas would be Morning Joe. I'm sure the entire goddamn panel just nodded along while this was happening.

He deserves better, tbh. Mehdi would be an asset wherever he goes.
