Unabashedly Pro-Kornacki Thread

Just because I’m irritated by the many bashing threads against a guy who’s doing an important job in his own way at a time when we need both information and enthusiasm.

Please post complaints about him elsewhere. You’ve got all of DU.

Irritably yours,
nolabear

I admire his enthusiasm, but I am switching between MSNBC and CNN because I need a little calm (bad sleep last night).

As an aside, I haven't seen any of those threads.

it's hard not to get excited when you are taking the numbers and trying to figure things out.

I think he does a good job at trying to break things down.

I adore enthusiasm--about anything, but since I'm interested in politics, I especially adore nerdy enthusiasm about political analysis. I find him very appealing.

And thank you for starting this thread, because it makes me sad to see him criticized for being excitable about something we're all interested in.

I don't like him as a host, I think he is kind of boring.

But I do think he does a great job with the numbers board on election nights.

He is a good guy, but he can be irritating.

could come to mean election nights to many, if he continues much longer. Some may always wince, but just look at all those who sat painfully through Bert Parks and his dreadful rendition of "Thaayre she izzz, Miiiiss Amaaaricaaaa... It was never the same once he was gone.

Herself says he's too excited. I think he just really enjoys "the big board" stuff. He has obviously ALWAYS done his homework. He knows the voting record of every community in whatever district he's talking about at the moment.

If you love what you do, it isn't work.

He knows these districts inside and out. I really appreciate the information he has. He will tell you the leanings of the counties that still have votes to tally.

I think some here have a hard time dealing with negative facts - there is always some media personality who is in the dog house here because they deliver some bad news

I like Kornacki, too. Factual information, energy, dedication - what more do you want?

There are so many people here who hate him and are very vocal about it which is perplexing. There are many many propaganda personalities out there that they never write a word against but they show up in every thread to talk down one of our own. I don't get it.

Kornacki is in the back ground of the other programs like RM, LO, CM, BW and JS, he treats everybody with respect and gives updates when needed, his presentation is accurate and precise.

I'm looking forward to watching Kornacki during the midterm elections.

I like watching people that are having fun doing their thing.


Peace
