Hosts & Guests
Is it just gotcha news?
Mar 1
Her interview style lacks depth, seems to focus on superficial statements and press people to say yes or no in gotcha questions. It must be hard doing journalism today because people in politics have no honor any longer. And if the media tries to call them on it, they are called biased.
“Fascinating!” Maybe not.

This show can be informative, but Kristen “Fascinating” Welker barely challenges in her interviews, and Steve Kornacki’s endless data drone nonsense makes me want to kill myself
Fake News

Yes, they are, in fact, eating the cats in Springfield, Ohio, Kamala’s old roommate.
Get tough Kristen!

I’ve never missed Tim Russert more! These so-called republicans must be pressed on the many lies that spew from their cultish mouths. Do not let them misdirect every question
Show is okay
Feb 28
People who claim the host is biased against conservative guests are being ridiculous and likely just angry trolls. She isn’t Tod, so I’m not sure why people expect a carbon copy of him. She questions conservatives the same way she questions liberal guests—it’s just that Republicans often have more newsworthy controversies to discuss. That said, I find this host generally lacking in inquisitiveness across the board, regardless of the interviewee’s political affiliation. I’m not sure if it’s a strategy to keep guests coming back, but when obvious contradictions arise or responses feel canned rather than genuine, the follow-up questions lack real pressure and significance. She asks good questions and presses a little, but without fact-checking, things often get left unanswered under a vague “just because” umbrella. There is probing, but it doesn’t go deep enough to challenge guests or push them to justify their actions clearly. Nor does she consistently hold guests accountable for prior statements or actions. I believe there’s a way to hold guests to a high standard—demanding truthfulness and accountability for the externalities of their actions as political figures—without being hostile. Unfortunately, this host consistently falls short of that balance, leaving viewers without the depth needed to form strong, coherent conclusions about the topics being discussed. Too often, you walk away from an episode feeling unsatisfied with the arc of the discussion and the lack of clarity—or the frustration that guests aren’t made to acknowledge that viewers won’t just accept responses based on conspiracy and conjecture.
Meh

I do listen every week even knowing how biased this host is. There are worse and there are better hosts, but as long as we know how biased each host is, it’s worth hearing the guests and the occasional good questions.
Republicans who won’t let you get a word in edgewise
Feb 23
Kristen, Don’t let them keep talking over you. You need to be more powerful.
Weak Follow-up Questions
Jan 17
Kristin seems like a decent enough person but she is not an aggressive interviewer and she doesn’t ask strong follow up questions. This job should have gone to Mehdi Hassan
Horrible Host
Jan 20
One of the worst host, very biased and ignorant.
Fake news
Jan 8
So clueless. Biden is undermining the transfer with the SELLING OF THE BORDER WALL pieces . You name all these week reasons and forget to leave out the main reason Trump said that
