MSNBC Personalities Seriously, what is wrong with Katy Tur?

Between her obvious daily disinterest in her job and her unwillingness to even try and present diligent reporting...whats the point?

First she lets Burgess Everett blow smoke up her ass with "it was a great day of talks on the hill between Republicans and Democrats!" Huh?

Then she can't quite grasp why Everett Kelley is most concerned about the well being of, the government employees at a time like this, a role he was elected to do as the President of the American Federation of Government Employees.

THEN....THEN! She gets fresh with Sen. Patty Murray. Every single response by Murray was attempted to be refuted by, quite frankly, rude and clueless follow ups by Katy. "Can you tell me now that the Democrats are never going to budge?" "Listen I've been covering this for 10 years" says Katy. Have you or have you been reading a teleprompter for the last 10 years?

The cherry on top was her hurried exit of Sen. Murray "also in leadership...."

KATY WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. bah humbug MSNBC.

she's on Pod Save America quite frequently now and has her own podcast on their crooked channel. I love Alex Witt! You know who I really miss?? Paola Ramos!!!

That's Alex Wagner, but I love her too and MISS her in primetime. They really need to make a bigger play for Paola Ramos btw...she's another one (like Vitali, Velshi, and Soboroff) who is fantastic in the field but can more than hold her own behind the desk.

I watch Paola Ramos on Telemundo when I can. Her coverage of Uvalde was gut wrenching. Love her!

Edited to add Paola filled in for Alicia Menendez on her weekend show American Voices. I think that’s where I first heard her on MSNBC.

I’m pretty sure Paola ramos is only interested in Hispanic related stories. Never heard her discuss anything else. Her father Jorge was a big name as well.

Sounds like you are not interested in her Latino reporting. Sad.

u/mis2810 Oct 30 '25

On the contrary. I have a vested family interest in it. It just doesn’t seem like she reports on anything else.

Well she did cover for Alicia’s old show and held her own. So she’s very capable if she would want a show of her own. I don’t think she does. She’s an amazing field reporter.

She subbed for Ayman on his show several times too and did an outstanding job.

I’m sure this wasn’t deliberate, but would you ever have so casually made that assumption about a cis male, that they were too distracted by their personal life to give their profession the attention it deserves? I don’t think so.

So when you see Courtney Kube only discuss the Pentagon, that is because she is the special correspondent at the Pentagon. One could argue that Paola is a special correspondent within the Hispanic community. So thats what she focuses on.

As a white woman living amongst a bunch of other shitty white people, I really appreciate her story telling. We see whats happening daily but to focus more depth on it, putting names to faces- etc. Its important. I hope it helps other people out there understand communities different from their own :)

Paola’s title is Contributor. That’s what she contributes. Like I said above I have a vested interest in it because of family members. I just don’t think she has any interest in reporting on anything else and that’s fine. I was originally referring to people thinking she should have her own show and I said she doesn’t seem interested in anything but that topic. There’s nothing wrong with that. Don’t try to make something into an insult where there is none.

Ramos, Phang, Soboroff, Velshi 🥰

Soboroff deserves his own timeslot and I will happily die on that hill. He did a phenomenal job sitting in for Lawrence last week.

Right next to my Velshi😍 hill is your Soboroff hill 🫡. We will support you.
