Lawrence must have figured out that his ratings go up if he keeps Rachel on for another 10 minutes explaining what guests he’s going to have and random other stories she clearly doesn’t care about during their side-by-side handoff. Just say “have a nice evening” and stop forcing her to care. It’s annoying.
Lawrence is a better man than all those criticizing him here. And that is why they hate him. He has some strange ways, sometimes, but none of them take anything away from the good points he has. He is the best news caster right now.
I really like Lawrence, he at least provide the facts and current events. I learn from his experience and from his guest’s that are informative as well informative and provide historical factual details. He has his moments but I think the historical and detailed information that’s provided out weighs the times he may go overboard on a topics.
Reporting the news is important and providing historical documentation along with the news provides a clearer picture of what’s on in the world, our courts, and communities.
"Thank you VERRY much for joining us tonight,
we REALLLY appreciate it"
-Lorence after every single guest
Lawrence O’d is my Most enjoyable show on MSNBC with Nicole Wallace second. Lawrence is exceptionally intelligent about politics, he’s empathetic and socially aware of the African American community including women issues. Most of all, Lawrence exhibits strength and class. He knows when to be quiet when he knows from what he speaks and doesn’t challenge those who don’t. He is not afraid to speak up but has enough Class not to lie, cheat and sink low to get ratings like EVERYONE ON FOX‼️
When you invite guests for your show, Lawrence, please DO NOT show your photo larger than your guests!!! It looks terrible !!! Remember, you are not better than your guests!!!!!!!
We get it Chris, you despise Lawrence.
What an incredible waste of the Harvard education this buffoon wears on his face with a smug sense of privilege and superiority he will never merit. Sadly it’s as much a comment on Harvard (a family alma mater of mine as well) as it is on clueless, un-inquisitive, biased reporting. When I was at boarding school and at Harvard - we were taught how to think - not what to think. MSNBC, and this idiots ratings on all his shows speaks for itself. It is mostly very sad to see how sinister bias news is in controlling the narrative and manipulating the vote. I miss Walter Cronkite - who I knew - and who once told me, the greatest mark of a professional reporter is objectivity. If you can infer his politics and opinions from his reporting, he has failed. This self absorbed cretin has failed all of us - and the American public - miserably.
O'Donnell has lost over 2 million viewers who are sick to death of his extreme bias and propaganda of all things Biden....he is even more useless than Biden is...and to praise him for his actions in Afghanistan speaks volumes about O'Donnell.....who seems proud to be a liberal stooge!
Lawrence is wonderful, if you like to examine every story to decipher how he twist the truth and manipulate words. His biases is so obvious it's hard to believe he could see any positive, about people who are on the opposite side of the story.
