Here's a question about Alex Witt...

I'm going to suspend all harshness and vituperative rhetoric and ask the following:

When she asks a question about Trump machinations which has as its premise an exculpatory explanation for the behavior of one of these individuals, does anyone else here feel that it is a question posed in outrage and pro-Trumpism rather than a journalistic opposite question which is designed to elicit an explanation of why the guest feels that the behavior is, shall we say for the sake of argument, criminal?

The reason I ask this is that her voice gets pitched and often sounds angry while asking such questions.

ENQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!!!

she talks - pitch, tone, emphasis on wrong words or syllables as well as the sound of anger that you mentioned.

several years ago when she was sued for theft by a friend. Don't know how it came out but I don't trust her reporting. How come she stays for years and years and some other highly competent people leave, I don't know.

middle-aged answer to Fox.

I know...weird...but maybe true.

Maybe not.

Hell if I know...

work out a repayment thing involving her employer. There was a story in one of the NYC news rags about her and hubby being encumbered via the court system for years to come. Believe she gets the low end of the Talent Fee at NBC.

borrowing her daughter's (grand daughter's?) clothes.

She's an attractive woman who could look great, but I cringe at her fashion choices..

and yes she does "interview" in a strange way
