Katy Tur's (yes, Katy Tur) opening on her show today:

[senseandsensibility]

Donald Trump's message to allies is simple: We broke it. You fix it.

That pretty much says it all. Very clear eyed analysis as trump begs NATO countries to solve a problem he created although they had no say in his insane actions.

Have to say I kind of like this new Katy. We'll see how long it lasts.

1. She will disappoint you

Within 30 days tops.

[Hstch05]

3. Yeah

She's spent so long normalizing him, but I hope we're wrong.

[hlthe2b]

2. For now, I think she is trying to separate herself from her husband's acquiescence on CBS.

[senseandsensibility]

4. I agree

I've had that impression for a while. And since we now know that the powers that be at MSNOW have been deciding who to "can", she may have been afraid for her job until recently.

5. Katy has always been good

The people here who don't like her almost never give examples of what she said that is so bad.

[EdmondDantes_]

6. But she's got a name that's easy to turn into a "clever" insult

Too many people seem to only be able to handle news that reflects their own bias.

[creeksneakers2]

7. Exactly!

I think they are expecting a spokesperson. She's not. She's a journalist. But she's one who sees the truth most of the time.

[Cosmocat]

10. I was a fan and pushed back some

on the criticism of her here, but she did both side or soft side way too much for my taste for a long enough time period that I threw the towel in on her.

[creeksneakers2]

15. See? No examples.

She's a journalist. If there are two sides she should report them. If Trump is wrong she goes after him, pretty much every day.

[GoodRaisin]

8. I think she's getting with the messaging under her new bosses.

Personally I think MSNOW has improved it’s coverage since being detached from NBC. They are the best American cable network pushing back on the RW takeover of the media. I was a little worried when I first learned of the spinoff from NBC but am mildly surprised by how MSNOW has embraced the fight and stepped it up a notch against the Krasnov attempt to take over the government.

[senseandsensibility]

9. Yes, and they are continuing to do their own investigative reporting

with Carol Loenig and others since they lost access to NBC's huge news division. Sometimes independent and smaller is better!

[Warpy]

11. Looks like Tur finally read the room

instead of the loudmouthed claque seated up front.

Good luck with your rehabilitation, Katy, and I mean that sincerely. The more people who stop sanewashing Fatso, the better.

[Jughead]

12. Trumps MO is always the same

He wrecks and burns something, watches it burn, blames everyone else, then claims to fix it and tells everyone he’s a hero.
Rinse and repeat

[kerry-is-my-prez]

13. She can be very snippy to her guests.

Sometimes, I’m amazed at her attitude.

[senseandsensibility]

14. She always interrupts Barbara Boxer

when she's trying to give an answer, I've noticed. She even did it today during her otherwise pretty good show.
