If you get a chance, watch the repeat of The Last Word; it was brilliant!

[senseandsensibility]

Tonight's show was probably the best political show I have ever seen on MSNBC. It was a complete takedown of the media and their coverage of this campaign. And, it took guts because he was criticizing his own network.

The good stuff is at the beginning of the show, but the whole show is good!

Good job, Lawrence!

2. Glad to hear it

On Twitter, it seems that Rachel Maddow joined in the bashing Hillary for "lack of transparency." Very disappointing.

[senseandsensibility]

3. IMO she has displayed a

"follow the crowd" mentality way too often in this campaign.

5. She did the entire hour on it.

No interest in the Trump Foundation or tax returns or what Mike Pence said. Just Hillary's health for 60 minutes.

10. It wasn't Hillary's health for 60 minutes.

She went through others with similar situations or health concerns. She then topped it off with a doctor that basically said what happen is not uncommon or out of character based on the release of Clinton's health record.

23. I've give you the show's an hour long, but...

there is less than thirty minutes of content.

[LiberalFighter]

8. Actually what I saw was a historical perspective of others that had similar incidents.

12. Thank you. Sometimes the hyperbole that gets tossed around at this place is ridiculous.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. I felt Maddow's comments will be used against Hillary

Pissed me off enough to turn off the tv.

Big Bang Theory or nothin'.

14. I can't watch her anymore

I used to love her. Now she talks like her audience are all 5 year olds and she's the smartest person in the world. But I must admit, I am avoiding political coverage on corporate media altogether, I just can't take the insipid spokespeople spewing the same tripe over and over. I do realize she's a lot smarter than me. Just my humble opinion.

Peace

4. Fantastic job Lawrence!

[LibinMo]

6. Can somebody please tell me what time it repeats?

My Tivo hasn't updated correctly and is showing only TBA on the program grid through 4 A.M. We are Central Daylight Time.

[bettyellen]

7. It was at ten and again at 1 am here in NYC

[LibinMo]

9. Thanks

That helps a lot.

[Hekate]

16. Here in California it's on after Rachel, at 7pm and at 10pm

I skipped it on the first pass because I was so irked at Rachel, but on the advice of the OP I'll be checking it out in 15 minutes.

11. I love Lawrence.

Never watched The West Wing and had no idea he was a writer for the show. Will have to add to my Netflix list.

And he's the only broadcaster I've seen bring serious attention to the (Lakota?) Sioux in North Dakota.

[pnwmom]

13. My mother raved about him for years before I discovered him. Now I'm a fan, too. nt

15. West Wing Is My Favorite TV Show of All Time

There have been great ones: Smothers Brothers, St. Elsewhere, Roots, Cosmos. But West Wing edges them out. You won't regret watching!

[SunSeeker]

17. I agree. The sanity was refreshing. nt

[HurricaneWarning]

18. Great show!

He and Joy are my new favorites at MSNBC.

[Akamai]

19. Yes but...did you notice what Lawrence did not do? He did not represent the tax policies of

Trump and Hillary accurately.

He said that Trump wants to lower taxes, and Hillary wants to raise them. But what he omitted was that Hillary wants to raise the taxes on the richest Americans and Trump wants to lower them on the richest Americans.

I don't think there was an accident--I think that is a policy of MSNBC. To misrepresent the progressive view of how to pay to meet the needs of the country, to equalizing the lot of everyone in the country, to helping ensure we all work for the common good, etc.

Anyone else notice this inaccuracy?

[senseandsensibility]

21. I didn't notice.

I admit that I was distracted and only watched the first part carefully.

[Akamai]

22. I really like Lawrence but this tax statement bugged me.

There are many reasons to state the differences as raising or lowering taxes on the richest earners, and in large part it goes to fairness, and also to correcting the system of financing elections.

I sure agree with Thom Hartmann about these issues.

24. Lawrence.....,

....always does his homework!!I look forward to his show each night.He is factual;allows guests to speak , does not make the show about him.
Rachel is smart but makes a case with all the giggling/machinations /adjectives she can muster.
Then she has a guest in and says "Did I understand or leave anything out?"They agree with her and leave ...
I can no longer watch her.
