The Boycott of Rush LimpBlaw finished off a many Liberal OTA Programs. Heritage Foundation loves when Folks Disconnect from MSNBC, they own everything else.

When I was in advertising sales, I realized advertisers could buy their way around any particular ad source they disliked. There were others that delivered the goods. I do still like some of their hosts - Jen, Lawrence and Rachel to name a few.

polarsgma.bsky.social•45 days ago

FWIW - I love that Molly interrupts and stops anyone who uses dehumanizing language, and then lets the interview continue, after that course correction.

lafloranona.bsky.social•45 days ago

That’s called realtime accountability. We have so little of it. The worst is Kristen Welker. Pablum peddler pretending to be hard boiled.

livviesjam.bsky.social•46 days ago

Agree fully with this assessment. Molly’s pod is the only one that’s can’t-miss for me.

larirob.bsky.social•46 days ago

She just needs to get rid of that annoying music bed

celia11.bsky.social•46 days ago

I catch whatever she says if I’m flipping there for a few to see who’s on board.
No mo mo Jo tho

barbrider.bsky.social•46 days ago

MSNBC should learn from Molly’s approach to longer topic conversations - less “be right back” and a topic change in a shorter block. Appreciate you Molly - thanks.

natureofthesouth.bsky.social•46 days ago

Molly seems to have plenty of commercials, but they don’t disrupt the flow of the interviews. She has an advantage in that she doesn’t have to fit conversations into a specific time window as you have noticed on MSNBC. Same issue with other news nets.

barbrider.bsky.social•46 days ago

Flow of the conversation and the short topic blocks have been my…frustration (lack of a better word) with MSNBC.

theotherjlebowski.bsky.social•46 days ago

Congrats, you're one of the 23 people who listen to Molly's "podcast."

natureofthesouth.bsky.social•46 days ago

I don’t think Vegas would give you odds on 23 or any other number you are likely to come up with.

theotherjlebowski.bsky.social•46 days ago

Whatever the actual number is, it is still insignificant compared to the average bedroom political podcaster. I bet the twinks at the Vanguard double Molly's numbers. And that Turkish slob Cenk probably has 200x more viewers. Establishment bootlickers have no audience except a captive one (ie TV)

bahamasherco3.bsky.social•46 days ago

Please don't paint every1 on MSNBC as sniveling cowards such as Mika &Joe. I no longer watch them but there are superb journalists; O'Donnell, Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid, Maddow &others who still tell it like it is &sort facts from RethugliKKKlan fiction/propaganda. New follower, 🙏vet &follow back💙

sweakie.bsky.social•45 days ago

I like Michael Steele.

catturdsmom.bsky.social•45 days ago

Michael Steele helped the Republican Party be the pit of evil it is today -Fuck that guy and his crocodile tears

lynnes97.bsky.social•46 days ago

Katie Phang & Jose Diaz Balart too.

natureofthesouth.bsky.social•46 days ago

I find MSNBC stories from host to host tend to be too repetitive for me. For now predominantly my choice is the written word so I can pick and choose from headlines of interest. MJFs podcast does not hammer me with same take over and over. Plus less than an hour, there is no sensory overload.

mycarlisle.bsky.social•46 days ago

Also Velshi, ayman, Chris Hayes,and O'Donnell.

caytiekt.bsky.social•45 days ago

MSNBC is the best. In fact, they're the only one left fighting Fir Democracy

peaceseeker27.bsky.social•42 days ago

I have been an ardent fan of MSNBC since the beginning of this mess in 2015 - but I still can’t watch the news or commentary. I’ve turned on Deadline White House a few times and was okay with that, but NEVER again will watch Morning Joe. They’re dead to me. Will give Rachel a try next week.

caytiekt.bsky.social•42 days ago

Lawrence is the best he didn't sway at all. Looking forward to more of Rachel.
Agree on Morning Joe-dead n done with them. NEVER really liked Joe anyway he's so arrogant and egotisticle.

bahamasherco3.bsky.social•42 days ago

and I will also definitely not be watching any programs covering this manipulated election's 🍊Jaskasshole's inauguration‼️🤬😤

peaceseeker27.bsky.social•42 days ago

No news from now till the inauguration is behind us! I will not in any way support or acknowledge this farce.

caytiekt.bsky.social•42 days ago

Tons of us are going to watch @meidastouch.com live stream of Puppies!
Goal to get more streams there than any other source.
I believe @meiselasb.bsky.social will give various important updates if needed alone the way possibly.

bahamasherco3.bsky.social•42 days ago

Except for the 🍊Jaskasshole kissers @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social‼️🤬😤

donnatye.bsky.social•45 days ago

The reason I’ve stopped watching MSNBC and all Mainstream Media isn’t bc of the hosts, I love Wallace, Reid, Maddow. It’s that life is too short to invest time in caring about issues I have no control over. Nearly 10 years of Dems vs MAGA; terribly exhausting.

margaret-susan.bsky.social•46 days ago

I don’t get ditching a whole network when it’s simple enough to not watch particular hosts.(Mitchell😉)
Good show on AYMAN last night with Molly Jong-Fast, Angelo Carusone, and Dean Obeidallah.
In addition to your mentions, weekends w- Menendez/Sanders-Townshend/Steele, Velshi & Phang are worthwhile.

jennfromhere.bsky.social•46 days ago

Love Molly ❤️

jovg-1955.bsky.social•45 days ago

I never miss an episode 👏👏👏

mmmarvalous.bsky.social•46 days ago

Love Molly! 🤗

johnhazard.bsky.social•46 days ago

Let’s all block that lazy maguh troll & not engage with his lame post at all. If he wants attention he can at least try harder

I’ve also stopped watching MSNBC, ISO an alternative that covers the news without saying ick’s name more than they have to or playing his voice or showing his face at all.

jslucas72.bsky.social•46 days ago

Good to know, I’ll have to check it out. I like it when people being interviewed have a chance to speak and articulate their point of view.

lyn-c-reuteler.bsky.social•46 days ago

I've been listening to her since she was on the new abnormal

catturdsmom.bsky.social•45 days ago

I discovered Ms. Jong-Fast on MSNBC too. Loved the hair, the name and the intelligent discussion she provided.

pitti42.bsky.social•46 days ago

We have been listening to her since her "New Abnormal" times and she has always thoughtful interviews with people that matter. 💯% recommended: "Fast politics" podcast.

djzaber.bsky.social•46 days ago

She's ok...... LOL. One of the country's best! Smart AF, funny, kind, insightful. One pundit I don't turn off. Definitely a follow!

thinkdontjudge.bsky.social•46 days ago

Big fan of MJF. I watch Morning Joe for the panels. Couldn't care less about what Mika&Joe say.

tenzil.bsky.social•46 days ago

Me too.

elderreed.bsky.social•46 days ago

I so agree- Molly is great

giselefd.bsky.social•46 days ago

I always listen to her.

giselefd.bsky.social•46 days ago

I like it when she has Rick Wilson on. They are so funny together. I miss the Fuck That Guy segment of their old podcast, the New Abnormal.

rlux.nyc•46 days ago

I’ve been listening to her for a couple of years now. She’s developed an interview style that’s very unique and personal. I like it.
