She should give other cable show hosts lessons on how to interview Right-Wing Nut Jobs. I love that she doesn't take crap from anyone.

She had had to deal with Paris whathisname several times now and she handled him beautifully.

Tweet her your approval!

@JoyAnnReid

AND - to make a bigger point, add one or two of these:

@mitchellreports - Andrea Mitchell. Period.

@chucktodd - Need I say more? Mr. "Lazy 'Journalism'" in the flesh

@kwelkernbc - Kristin Welker, who hungrily gobbles up and spits out ANY insinuation that's unfavorable to Hillary

@AlexWitt - doing her damnedest to further the bad slant on the weekends

@tamronhall - does double duty on the Today Show

@ChrisJansing - eager to spread any negatives

@tvkatesnow - blonde pusher of the negatives while trying to make her bones as an anchor

@morningmika - Mika Brzezinski, who sometimes sees the light and gets feisty, but not nearly enough. Needs encouragement.

@MarcACaputo - watching MSNBC this morning, this Politico guy is actually talking about some realities re: all these Black people are fawning over Trump now! (shocking - he injects some reality: not so fast with the inauguration of Trump, okay? She's winning in multiple battleground states) He can use encouragement, too.

As you can see, the list is endless. I AM NO TWITTER OR INTERNET EXPERT HERE. I am very nearly MORONIC about this stuff. But shit, if I can figure this out, your dog or cat can do it! Just Google any name of any on-camera reporter/anchor you can think of. You'll find it.

DO IT, guys. Send some tweets! If enough of us express our displeasure at the anti-Hillary bias, they won't be able to ignore it, and maybe they'll even back off of it a little. But we're going to have to rain down on them like the Louisiana deluge to get their attention.

but I do like Tamron Hall as a news anchor. She is really good at her job and does excellent interviews. She rarely allows someone to evade a question or deflect the issue.

Of your list, the ones that annoy me the most would be: Andrea Mitchell, Chuck Todd, and Alex Witt. Thank goodness for "fast-forward".

Lately Joy Reid blows them all away!

Gotta say it. Trump fixation makes it look like YOU ALL are on his payroll. Negatives-only coverage of Hillary confirms it.
