Sexism on Tweety's Panel Right Now

[stopbush]

Tweety on with Howard Fineman, Chris Hayes, Michael Steele and Joy Reid.

Three panelists are allowed to talk without interruption. One has a hard time getting a sentence out before they are interrupted.

Guess who that one panelist is.

BTW - it's not just Tweety doing the interrupting.

1. The whole scene is obnoxious.

Interrupting became 'OK' with McLaughlin Group? Get CIVIL!

2. I noticed that.

The only person I care to hear from is being muted.

3. Shame on both MSNBC and CNN...

Not enough women panelists considering the historic nature of the evening. Pathetic.

4. I don't know that it's sexist but Tweety is the WORST when it comes to interrupting.

It makes his show nearly unwatchable at times. Also, his prompter-reading skills are terrible, and he's frequently caught saying things as they go to commercial. He skips words sometimes too. Ugh...

I still think he's a Good Guy, but I just cringe at him sometimes. They gotta put him out to pasture SOMETIME soon... don't they? :p

EDIT: And Joy Reid is FANTASTIC! She handles the pundits' spin with such skill on her show.

5. Joy is getting a word in...

And I love that they are all laughing their asses off about Trump and the 400lb hacker... Joy: "was he Russian though??"

6. disagree, Joy rolls with the best of 'em, its the nature

of Tweety's late night panels, which are supposed to be more raucous and 'bar like atmosphere' than even his regular show. No one is 'allowed' to speak, you have to fight for your 'slot' based upon the ability to say something interesting, which Joy is good at. She's quick and concise and gets her points in. it's a talent that everyone that are regulars on these panels have, or else they wouldn't be there.

7. He let Chris Hayes talk without any interruption.

Michael Steele was also getting short changed, though not as bad as Joy. Fineman was interrupting her as often as Tweety to the point that Joy had to pull the "let me finish theis one thought" routine.
