Cris Hayes had great show tonight and

I’ll be frank... I’ve been so freaking disappointed with Hayes over the past year, that I practically
quit watching his show..

But tonight he did real good.. The whole show in fact was great.
So if you missed the early version, try to find it..

He DID come back after that Katie Packer "Never Trump" woman who kept saying "Democrat mayor, Democrat governor," and Democrat this and Democrat that, and he didn't say anything while she was on. (Which I think is a mistake.)

But in the next segment he came back on and actually made a small point about it.

Unfortunately, I think the thing he and the others on the air there need to start correcting that deliberate misstatement AS IT HAPPENS. NOT in the next segment after the offender who made the misstatements is gone. You stop it right then and right there. Just the same as you correct a disobedient dog. Right then and right there. While it's fresh and current. You don't wait til sometime later on, when the dog that misbehaved won't be able to associate wrongdoing with correction-for-wrongdoing.

...hit a dog.

There are a fair few Republicant's I wouldn't mind smacking on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

We like positive reinforcement of the good behavior rather than the punishing of the bad. It works a lot better and saves a TON of grief.

And it's just plain nicer, anyway. That's how we did it with our kids, too. Encourage, reward, reinforce the GOOD behavior rather than punishing the bad. It just spawns more negativity to opt for the punishment option.
