Mika and Rachel

Categories
Lifestyle

Make of it what you must, but my favorite news fonts are Mika Brzezinski and Rachel Maddow, MSNBC political pundits. 

Mika in the morning with her partner Morning Joe Scarborough and Rachel at 9:00 at night. 

Yes they are Liberal, but they make sense to me in these extraordinary times.  Mika seems to speak directly to Trump through the camera and Rachel comes up with interesting angles and perspectives on the otherwise daily madness.  

Lennon said it best: Strange days indeed-most peculiar, mama.

Another shout out for Morning Joe! I've heard from several people who endorse the show.

I go NY1 News in the morning but have sample Morning Joe. Mika and Joe make a nice couple (which they are). I watch a lot of MSNBC but rely on NY1. Hardball live goes up against NY1's Inside City Hall/ The Road to City Hall (In city election years such as we are in now) live so generally I'll catch Hardball in later rerun unless topics on ICH interests me not much.

We do CBS. However the best take on the news is Steve Colbert monologue every night. Worth staying up the extra 15 minutes

Too late for me. Of course you take your news from a humorist.

I am strictly CNN and MSNBC - I used to love Morning Joe until they incessantly started to kiss Trump's ass for ratings at the beginning of the election cycle. Had to stop watching - Love Mika - but Joe Makes me nauseous. I learned to like Chris Cuomo on CNN - But My favorite on CNN is Jake Tapper. But I digress. LOVE RACHEL. SHE CAN DO NO WRONG. A true investigative Journalist. As a matter of fact she broke the Flint Michigan water story FIRST! However - she fell off the pedestal for a moment with Trump's 2005 tax return. Big build up for a nothing Burger - which he probably leaked himself. I really love Lawrence O'Donnell (comes on after Rachel). He is smart and has a completely humane point of view.

I switched to CNN and Chris Cuomo started to grow on me. However My favorite on CNN is Jake Tapper. But I digress....I LOVE Rachel - one of our only investigative reporters.She broke the Flint Michigan water story- long before it blew up in National news.
However - i feel she made a little stumble with the 2005 tax returns. Big build up - which turned out to be a nothing burger - which he probably leaked himself.

NBC, MSNBC, NY!, on line summaries and, of course The New York Times. I still like to read my news in the morning.

So you think I'm gonna swing at that breaking ball in the dirt for strike 3 ? No chance ! Instead I am going to excercise restraint and just suggest that maybe Gotham Politics would be a better venue . At least then we could get input from Eric or Paul . Meantime I'm not swinging ' Bro . It's a trap . I love you too much to strike out now !

I have listened to NPR while getting dressed in the morning as long as I can remember, and am now turning to MSNBC before going to bed. Difficult times.

Is NPR funding in jeopardy?

I love Anderson Cooper!! There's just something about him. If I wasn't married and he wasn't gay. . .
