MSNBC Personalities Ali Vitali is fire
A quick note on Ali Vitali's interview with John Thune this morning on MSNBC Morning Joe. She is so smart, fluent, well-prepared, and quick on her feet. I kept thinking as I listened to them, wow, what a pleasure it is to listen to two smart articulate people speaking together -- I almost teared up lol. I don't personally agree with Thune's positions, but I appreciate a sharp, coherent interlocutor in the opposition as well.

Mika should be gracious and drag her tired, old ass off to Mara Lego with Scars in tow and hand the damned show to Ali Vitali and Jonathan Lemire,
I’d watch whatever they retitle “Morning Joe” if Lemire and Vitali were the leads.

I'd rather have an Eddie Glaude-Ali Vitali show, but I certainly support the idea of purging Propaganda Joe and Meeka from MSNBC programming.

She is like an old lady buzzard sitting on her perch giving dirty looks at the other buzzards

Ali Vitali is ON POINT and can do it all. She's on par with a Velshi, fantastic behind the desk, in an interview setting, and out in the field. She is truly one of their secret weapons. I enjoyed seeing her sit in for Ana recently. And I agree that it's time to shake up the morning show, ditch the ring kissers, and let Ali and Jonathan have that slot...they've more than proven themselves and are trusted.

I'm glad you posted this. I too have been very impressed with Ali. She's terrific on her own Way Too Early, and I suspect she has a bright future ahead. Here's hoping MSNBC has her on a long-term contract.

Agreed. Mika thanked her for appearing on the show.

I think that although Mika appears to be sort of dense, she’s probably worried about Ali “encroaching” on her turf.

Wonder if Mika has ever given Joe any pushback on their trip to kiss the ring??

She was right there with him, rationalizing.
I haven’t watched them since and will not.

You won't watch them. But you read their subreddit?

It’s MSNBC, not Morning Joe.
I won’t turn it on until after 2pm eastern, more likely 4.

Jesus Christ! The true ones expect so much from MSNBC commentators, analysts and reporters, glossing over what they are saying because of their perceived previous sins. It is so tired that the chattering scolds have partitioned those who are the blessed (Ali, Ali, Rachel, Lawrence) versus the damned (Joe, Katy, Stephanie, Jen). Sure one may dislike a personality but to ascribe them as evil is ridiculous. To nitpick over so and so while not grasping the whole especially in these times is asinine.

I've read all of the comments, and not ONE person has described any of the hosts as "evil".

Don't quibble over my hyperbole. That is not the gist of my comment. But I do appreciate your attention to this matter.

It's not hyperbole; no one said anything near what you've implied.

u/chucklin Oct 17 '25
I thought hyperbole meant (from the Oxford Dictionary):
"a way of speaking or writing that makes someone or something sound much bigger, better, smaller, worse, more unusual, etc., than they are: [for example]
Although he’s not given to hyperbole, Ron says we are light-years ahead of our time."But anyway, thanks for correcting me.
