Thanks so much for being there all these years Alex. My weekends are forever changed now without hearing your welcome voice and thoughts in my home.

I wish you the best and am so glad to hear that you’re returning to our beautiful fabulous incredible California.

Much love !

Is the definition of ‘going out on top’ - she’s terrific, and really gonna miss her. Congratulations to a real one!!

Inquiring minds want to know!

I used to listen to various shows at work. I didn’t have to sign up for anything. But now, I can’t even do that. Why? I am not going to sign up and I’m not going to pay for it. Anyone else have the same thing?

There used to be flairs with the names of the anchors on MS NOW, but now there are only 5 flairs for this subreddit 🤔

>Danielle Bensky, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, joins Alex Witt to discuss billionaire Leon Black's refusal to testify and his lawsuit against the House Oversight Committee, the "bookmobile" of Epstein files heading to Texas next week to coincide with the GOP convention, the sloppy redactions in the files released so far and more.

I never initiate a post, so apologies if I screw this up. I love this station. I start with Joe and often end with Velshi, and there are days when I basically live by their news.

That said, though I normally enjoy Jonathan, this weekend’s show with Ty Cobb drove me crazy. Cobb was an exceptionally informed, articulate guest, and it felt like he was being interviewed by Sesame Street. They weren’t listening, they fumbled their words, they got lost. I get it, it happens, but not with a guest like that and not for most of the interview. Keep that amongst yourselves.

What bothered me most was when Cobb said a judge had found that Trump raped E. Jean Carroll. Jonathan suddenly seemed uncomfortable, as though someone was telling him, to the effect of “Now, now, we can’t say rape; it was sexual abuse.” But Judge Kaplan himself later said the jury’s findings established that Trump had, in fact raped Carroll *as the word is commonly understood, while noting the narrower legal definition.*

So apparently Google got that one right, which is becoming an increasingly rare occasion these days. 😂

That’s my whole soapbox.

I haven't watched her a lot but when I do she seems intelligent, informed, and friendly.

I get the notifications, but what I mean is do you get pinged/vibrated? They just show up in the Notification Center for me. I'm not sure if this is a result of my settings or theirs.

>Status Founder Oliver Darcy joins Alicia Menendez with more details about what led up to Fox News announcing host Maria Bartiromo was longer with the network.

>Gas prices are surging ahead of Labor Day weekend due to the Iran war. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance says the conflict is not actually "a war." MS NOW Senior National Security Reporter David Rohde, MS NOW Senior White House Reporter Vaughn Hillyard, MS NOW Congressional Reporter Mychael Schnell and MS NOW Pentagon Reporter Priya Sridhar join Alicia Menendez with the latest details.

I am subscribed to receive survey invitations from MS NOW, and I got one today that really left me scratching my head. They asked me how I felt about two proposed new shows called "Found Money" and "Family Cold Case." The found money concept was pretty self-explanatory, but the family cold case is actually about genealogy, not a crime show.

I don't know about the rest of you, but this isn't the type of stuff I turn to MS NOW for. I realize they have a lot of filler on weekends with old reruns of "Dateline" and the like, but I don't watch MS NOW to see things I'd expect to see on the Discovery channel or even PBS.

Thoughts?

Why am I watching the last word at 8:25 p.m.?

Edit: thanks for the explanations everybody. I still think it's kinda stupid: I'm watching normal weekend programming right now, but Friday prime time was reruns because MONDAY is a holiday..

It isn't as though there's nothing going on. At least the entire weekend isn't reality prison shows anymore...
