[MattP]

[still_one]

1. more details would be helpful

7. Steve keeps hammering that Hillary has said there were no emails with classified info...

And that was a falsehood she's been pushing.

If you do the math, the FBI looked over 30,000 emails. They found classified content in 110. That's .34 PERCENT of the emails. Less than half of one percent!

And that's not taking into account that the State Department acknowledging that some of them shouldn't have been considered classified!

[still_one]

10. Thanks

[spooky3]

14. The 110 were NOT designated by State as containing

Classified info, per Peter Daou:

The 3 emails did have some "marking" as classified, but not in the header where dept policy requires it to be.

[writes3000]

17. Thanks for the correction. Steve K keeps repeating the 110 emails as fact.

[spooky3]

18. Thanks. It would have been better if Connolly had Daou's

Blog post handy before the interview.

39. Peter did a great job in that article

2. MSNBC is going RW.

[mucifer]

4. I don't have cable tv . Is Rachel going RW too? nt

[JoePhilly]

5. Not yet, but her fill-in this week certainly seems to have done so.

But please feel free to attack her if you want.

[mucifer]

9. I don't have cable

[lunamagica]

27. No. We need her back

[woolldog]

11. I've noticed this.

Some shows like the Halperin show and Morning Joe are simply unwatchable.

They replaced Alex Witt, Sharpton and Ed and replaced them with crap.

[lunamagica]

29. Then again, Joy Reid filling in for Matthews was just marvelous

[OnDoutside]

36. Yes she was excellent as usual.

[George Eliot]

42. Anybody better than Matthews

And I'm not a fan of Reid.

[lunamagica]

28. I don't think this would happen with Rachel hosting

She neds to return ASAP

[StraightRazor]

40. The same producers who write her scripts write his...

that's why anyone who hosts in her absence seems weird - they don't have her delivery.

[romana]

3. Last two nights

Very aggressive with anti-Clinton questions, talking over guests. It's not like him, and he's not good at it. I think the producers are doing that to him or something. It's not a good look for him.

[elleng]

6. Too bad.

I liked him, as an informative guy. Haven't watched over there in months.

[spooky3]

16. He is best when he's at the technology board reporting

Election returns.

[elleng]

19. Yes, he's good there.

Was also pretty good with the Jersey/Christie crap.

[spooky3]

20. Yes

[brush]

15. Yeah, he was out of control with the agressive, anti-Clinton questioning

He would have fit right in on the repugs side of the Comey hearing. Wonder what he called himself doing, being a hard-charging journalist or something? He must've missed the impartiality class in j-school.

I've lost respect for him and will never see him in the same light again.

What the hell is wrong with these clowns? Andy sensible person can see the math. Out of 30,000 emails 1/100 of 1 percent had any so called classified material in them, and the 3 mentioned by Comey only had material IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL marked by a (c), NOT IN THE HEARDER.

Don't get why he switched on the right wing persona — not cool at all.

[DLCWIdem]

8. I know what you mean

Last night he wouldn't even let his guest talk about those 3 emails which were not marked and the state dept said were not classified it was human error.

[chillfactor]

12. Steve used to be one of my favorites on MSNBC.....

now he has become just another right-winger....he cannot be comfortable in this new "role"

[mucifer]

13. It seems the msm has successfully branded Hillary as "crooked" scary stuff

[oasis]

21. If Steve's auditioning for Fox News, they shouldn't hesitate.

Sign here sellout.

[Blaukraut]

22. He should not have editorial freedom subbing Rachel's show.

She has a trademark to protect. Maybe she should ask Ari Melber to sub for her from here on out. Kornacki has been shockingly biased. I haven't watched MSNBC. Took a peek online after months and caught his filling in for Rachel. It's appalling.

[OnDoutside]

37. Actually Ari Melber is also excellent. Overall MSNBC is lurched right, which is odd when there is

surely an audience for centre and left political TV ?

[Gabi Hayes]

23. seems pretty obvious to me:

[DawgHouse]

31. LOL!

[madamesilverspurs]

24. Low expectations for MSNBC lately,

not helped today with Halperin sitting right behind Comey the whole time.

The coverage subsequent to the hearing has been unwatchable. If Rachel follows Kornacke down the rabbit hole, that's it for MSNBC.

[doc03]

25. The last couple nights he has been pushing the Republican e-mail

scandal. I can't figure is he auditioning for Fox or is he a disgruntled Bernie supporter?

[lunamagica]

26. He is being HORRIBLE. I can't wait for Rachel to get back

[One of the 99]

30. He's always been anti-Clinton.

About a year or more ago he was filling in for Chris Matthews and had David Corn as a guest. Kornacki misstated several facts of the email case and Corn tried to correct him. Kornacki talked over Corn repeatedly and wouldn't let him finish.

[stopbush]

32. He's a strange bird - a gay man who was pen pals with Chris Christie

but who seemed to relish going after Christie as MSNBC's lead attack dog on Bridgegate.

I assumed he was a liberal, but his recent TV appearances have been incredibly anti-Hillary.

[Whimsey]

33. I agree with you

He has not been balanced in his reporting. On the other hand, he may be looking for a job elsewhere. I am always flabbergasted by how media reporters are so biased in their reporting. Commentators have that right, but reporters should not interject their personal opinions into their reporting. But it is the norm nowadays. But ratings is all that matters anymore.

[eastwestdem]

34. I've noticed it too in the past couple of weeks. For some reason, MSNBC thinks they will get higher

ratings by pounding on Hillary.

[slipslidingaway]

35. MSNBC has been tending RW for well over a decade, no surprise. nt

[OnDoutside]

38. Go back 4 months ago and they were pretty fair. The last month has seen a huge lunge to the right.

[ericson00]

41. This is so sad. Kornacki used to be great. He was one of the few who had consistently

been ripping apart the Ross Perot-myth. What I think happened is that he thought because of that, he was owed a job with the Clinton campaign; he probably applied and didn't get it, and turned sour on them.
