Chris Hayes is trending on twitter

[senseandsensibility]

I guess it's because of his criticism of Biden for mangling words. People are pointing out that Chris is always tripping over his tongue and once called Bernie Sanders "Bernie Sandwiches."

Got me to thinking about how these talking heads should be head and shoulders above everyone else in speaking skills considering their salaries, but most of them couldn't meet the standards they are unilaterally setting for 81 year old Joe Biden. No one who talks a lot is mistake free, but Chris especially is not.
And he is relatively young (40's) and a professional speaker. I think he needs to look in the mirror and think about what's really important here.

1. Any specific examples for us to look at?

[we can do it]

4. Every show Chris sounds like he has a mouth full of macaroni he is trying to talk around.

20. Thanks!

[LisaL]

22. Bernie Sandwiches?

Clearly Chris is unfit and has to step down ASAP.

[StarryNite]

33. Time for him to step away from the mic and cameras.

He's way overbaked.

[Cha]

48. A Men!

[jaxexpat]

34. Yeah, Tucker never said "sandwiches".

again. It is great with this subject.

[Cha]

47. TY! Not Fun Fact...

53. Love Harrison's example of not being able to remember

his own kids names when tired. My Mom would usually accidentally start by calling my sister and I, by one of our cousins' names, sometimes she'd even call us by our dog's name, and often end with "Whatever the hell your name is, get over here." She was in her 40's when that started.

It happens to everyone

[Cha]

55. LOL.. sounds like my Mom when Younger.. she had 6 kids

And, would run through our names in a Flurry before she hit on the right one..

Good times!

[BlueKota]

61. 🤣

[slightlv]

64. And did she, when she landed on the right name,

repeat it complete, as in your full legal name? I always knew I was in trouble at that point! (LOL)

[Cha]

65. Oh yeah.. get called by my full name instead

of the shorter nick name

TY!

[ChazInAz]

58. My mum was hilarious.

We immigrated from Hungary, she was Welsh. No idea how my parents met. When we arrived, we Americanised our names, shortening them considerably from the typical Hungarian long string of family names. She had trouble shifting mental gears sometimes when calling us. I always assumed I was in trouble when she started out with "Karel Radu... oh hell!"

[BlueKota]

62. 😆

[Hope22]

2. Chris...the inventor of word salad.

He had a screw up while talking about Biden the other night.

[senseandsensibility]

7. A screw up when he was criticizing Biden for screwing up?

Like I said, these people need to look in the mirror.

[Cha]

3. Agan? Hayes was "Trendinig" When he

had on Tara Ried and only TR.. No rebuttal for her LIES.

I loathe him.

TY for the info I sure would like to read some.

[senseandsensibility]

6. Yes, that was bad

Thanks for reminding me. And look at Tara Reid now.

[Cha]

9. Exactly ".. look at Tara Reid Now"... Wanting to get into Russia

for Crap's sake.

[Quakerfriend]

5. Nothing like a guy who makes millions on a talk

show who is constantly saying “like….you know”. 🙄

[spooky3]

30. And my newest favorite: "..., right?" at the end of each statement.

He does it, Rachel sometimes does it, but the worst offender is Molly Jong Fast.

[senseandsensibility]

31. Rachel sometimes does it

but she is from my neighborhood in CA and we come by the Valley Speak naturally. What's Hayes and Molly's excuse?

[spooky3]

32. Maybe they're trying to be cool kids like Rachel?

Alex Wagner used to do it but I stopped watching her some time ago so don’t know if she still does.

[Celerity]

54. wrong metro area of California (I am Los Angeles born, and also lived there whilst reading for my MBA)

Valleyspeak originated in the San Fernando Valley (Los Angeles County). Southern California

Maddow is from Castro Valley (born there and graduated from Castro Valley High School and Stanford University, also in the Bay Area) which is SE of Oakland (the Bay area, it is in Alameda County, as you obviously know, as you have lived there. I am adding this for other readers.). Northern California

[senseandsensibility]

57. Yes, I grew up 10 miles from Rachel

and my hubby grew up in So California. Believe it or not, there is some connection between the two culturally, and the accent is one of them. At least in the 80's the Valley Girl thing was also very big up in the Bay Area too.

[Celerity]

60. Fair enough, it was mostly all before my time (the height, the peak) as I was born in late 1996, left before I was 2yo,

and did not return to live there (LA) until the mid 2010s.

[SWBTATTReg]

8. And compared to tRUMP's awful word salads? No comparison. Biden is far more composed, far more able of a

speaker than tRUMP the moron will ever be. You can't even listen to one sentence of tRUMP's monologue before it goes off the track nor can anyone make heads or tails out of what tRUMP is saying more than 1/2 the time, or more.

[senseandsensibility]

10. You are completely right

The corporate media is completely failing us by falling for and or stirring up this "scandal" considering the alternative. Just no justification for it. Yes, the debate was disappointing, but 3 weeks of pummeling all the while letting cheato go scott free? Nope.

[wnylib]

25. Meidas Touch put together a coupke good videos

that do side by side split screen comparisons of Biden giving good speeches next to Trump rambling. They also put together a montage of Trump gaffes.

Maybe they should do a montage of media talking heads gaffes. Include several persons do it does not look like an attack on any single one of them. But, they can give extra attention to the ones who are criticizing Biden the most.

[wishstar]

11. George Stephanopoulos could use elocution lessons too

Ever since George started at ABC in the morning I have often found him hard to understand because of his mumbling and not speaking clearly

[50 Shades Of Blue]

12. This is downright fucking bullying now.

[senseandsensibility]

13. You know I was a victim of childhood bullying

and I was getting those vibes from the talkingheads yesterday. Didn't bring it up because I didn't want to look like I was overreacting, but to me it was coming across that way.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

23. Ditto!!!!

[orangecrush]

42. Exactly

[XanaDUer2]

14. I posted a popular post hrs ago about Tur

She said B Menendez was from NY. She corrected herself, but its disturbing a well-paid professional host on national TV is confusing ny and nj.

Made me worry about her cognitive abilities. See how that works, Katy?

[senseandsensibility]

16. MSNBC should ask her to take

a cognitive test.

[skylucy]

15. Chris Hayes says the word "like" more than a Valley Girl.

[XanaDUer2]

17. He does and its annoying and immature

I stopped watching him

[Cha]

19. Speaking of Chris Hayes.. & others...

Link to tweet

[senseandsensibility]

21. Did Hayes, Colbert and Meyers

all ask him to resign? So disappointing if that is true. The rest of them...not shocked.

[Cha]

24. Sorry Not sure.. no TV here. I just saw this tweet.

[Emile]

26. I will never seek Chris Hayes approval on who to vote for.

Stupid kid

[SheilaAnn]

27. Stephen King????? Say it isn't so...

[slightlv]

66. As much as King detests Trump,

it is hard to believe, especially since I feel like we're living in a Stephen King nightmare right now!

[FloridaBlues]

28. I hope tv pundits/ host got the message about the over the top

Negative coverage 24/7. Viewship must be down on msnbc and cnn. The public humiliation of the President has caused some eyes to open about some of the host(s).

[senseandsensibility]

29. I read that both CNN and MSNBC's ratings are tanking

Deservedly so.

[StarryNite]

36. Good!

[Cha]

41. Hallelujah!! And if DU is a microcosm We

KNOW WHY!!

TY S&S..

[StarryNite]

35. Have you ever noticed how similar Chris and Rachel are?

They could be brother and sister. The way they talk, their mannerisms, they are just the same. Were they taught that in journalism school? Or I should say entertainment classes?

[senseandsensibility]

38. Funny you should bring that up

because years ago Rachel went on the View and I think it was Whoopi who told her she looked like Chris. I could tell that Rachel was a little taken aback, and she said something like I guess I do look like a dude. She also said that Chris Hayes was really big in real life.

[StarryNite]

52. To me it's the way they speak and their gestures.

[JoseBalow]

37. Burnt Weenie Sandwich

[leftieNanner]

39. I stopped watching him

Since he has been attacking Joe.

Watch Lawrence instead. And Rachel on Monday.

[soldierant]

56. Yes, at least we've been able to count on Lawrence

for sweet reason and good sense. If that also applies to Rachel, good for her.

[Pacifist Patriot]

40. Not one single person on the planet speaks mistake free!

This is a pet peeve of mine.

We are conditioned to assume perfect speech because of tv and movies.

No! Real life does not work that way.

If you received a transcription of your verbal speech over a 24 hour period, you would be appalled.

Filler sounds, poor grammar, spoonerisms, gaffs, whatever. We all do them. Constantly!

Name replacements? OMG! Just ask a parent of multiple children how many times they used the wrong name. Did anyone call their elementary school teacher "mom" once or twice? When some asshole is consuming your thoughts (like an opponent or a rival), you are going to more readily bring their name to your lips.

I am so sick of people not recognizing reality!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

43. I do NOT watch Chris Hayes

Link to tweet

[orangecrush]

44. Very surprised

I really liked Chris.

I wonder what made him sell out.

[senseandsensibility]

45. Yes, he used to work at The Nation

and was an admirer of Bernie Sanders (not Sandwich) so I have no idea what's going on with him.

[tom_kelly]

46. I've put some thought into this and believe

he should drop out of broadcast journalism and let a younger, more spry replacement do the job.

[senseandsensibility]

50. I see what you did there!

[BlueKota]

49. I wonder if he will comment on trending negatively?

[samnsara]

51. joe seems to stutter a bit more but maybe cuz hes talking

a thousand words a minute. Hes hot tonight!!

[Skittles]

68. chronic pressure will do that too

it kills me that Trump isn't under this sort of microscope

[thenelm1]

59. Brings to mind the old Biblical statement of:

"Let he who is without sin cast first stone." Would seem to fit in this context, yes?

(7-8 years of Catholic catechism classes never leave you, even after leaving the church behind many years ago.)

[dlk]

63. How much of this hysteria is grounded in ageism?

Quite a lot, I’d say

[The Third Doctor]

67. I had already stopped watching Hayes regularly

Now I see that I made the right choice. He's a sell out. Those multi million dollar checks have changed him.
