(8,205 posts)Not even close! She and her colleagues have had 10 fucking years to ask Trump hard questions. Or call out his BS lies. He repeatedly degrades and verbally abuses the female reporters. Welker has never once come to their defense!

Just as I don't make excuses for a rich TV celebrity who has a history of right wing bias.

(4,042 posts)gone everyday for a year and pisses you off because you may need new carpet, then one day he/she waits to go out, you don't continue to be pissed at them. You reward them. Maybe a poot analogy but in the last 2 weeks we've had Pelley and Welker stand up to the fascist machine publicly and we should reward them LOUDLY. They may say quietly they've always known yet continue to shit on the rug but when they don't, yes, treat them with the reward they deserve FOR THE MOMENT. Maybe it'll catch on. For example, I can't stand Morning Blow BUT I just happened to be listening to it this morning while getting ready to go to the Dr. Mika gave an absolutely brilliant piece about that interview with an absolute scathing rebuke of the FatAss. I mean scathing. I was taken a back. It's what we need. Maybe Welker (and Pelley) are the spark for an INDEPENDENT 4th estate to rise again. IMHO.

(2,175 posts)I avoid watching her/MTP as I feel like she lets all of the Rs off easy and pressures the Ds on silly topics. But I'll give her credit for this time, something really lit a fire under her and she was definitely persistent, finally!
I didn't like her comment later how they've planned another interview. Makes me wonder how that was negotiated and if she had to promise to 'be nice' next time.
