I agree. That is why I switch to Sciutto and Harlow during her time slot. Sneederbunk Jan 2019 #7
Thing about her is she's very smart. She's probably processed Kahuna7 Jan 2019 #2

I said I think she talks fast. It's annoying to me. Your intimation is also.

Is there some unspoken rule that forbids me from commenting on the delivery of an MSNBC talking head? There have been tons of threads about Steve Kornacki (who is even more annoying than Hallie.) Is she immune from any criticism? Her reporting is fine-a bit speedy for my taste. I like a lot of the personalities on MSNBC- just not crazy about Hallie.

the info she's given in a nanosecond and is on to the next thought. But she can come across as an eager puppy and it can be annoying.

Maria Teresa Kumar does also, and frequently restarts a sentence multiple times. To me, it’s annoying and avoidable. I often wish a producer would urge her to slow down—maybe try to make fewer points.

High pitched and fast. Not convinced she is overly smart. Asks routine and boring questions. She is ok as a White House stenographer. Not so much as a news person with her own show. I turn MSNBC on when Ali and Stephanie are on.
