Did Chris Hayes ever address the angry blowback he received by lending credence to the TR BS? (Original Post) SaveOurDemocracy May 2020 OP

It wasn't a mistake Green Line May 2020 #15
Did he apologize to Biden? rockfordfile May 2020 #21
Didn't he cowardly hide for a few days from social media until it blew over? Talk about conviction. LizBeth May 2020 #6
You're likely correct. I believe he was a big Bernie backer, probably luke-warm on Biden. SaveOurDemocracy May 2020 #9
Gloves off, yes. LizBeth May 2020 #12

I've also been enjoying the CNN programs, and most likely won't go back.

RW MEME panels. I still like much of the night time lineup at MSNBC, but in between Nicole Wallace's time slot finishing and Rachel's beginning, I don't watch.

The man made A mistake since 2015 regarding the madness
we are experiencing every day. Not four or five minimum per 24 hr.
period. He isn't responsible for over 80,000 dead Americans. But
you perfectionist that know so much call-out those that don't
achieve your pinnacle of perfection.

Figure out how to make a contribution equal to the work he does
then, and only then, can you criticize.

...and let our supposed allies damage, with unverified suspect allegations, our Democratic candidate.

Didn't learn a lesson from 2016?? Where was the strong push back against the email BS? The so-called 'liberal' hosts, except for a very few, were as guilty as Faux Noose.

No lies, no both-siderism, no fanning the flames of disgruntled Bernie backers! These networks BETTER feel some pain if we hope to stop disinformation and dirty tricks. If that gives you a sad...too fucking bad!

I watched it specifically to see if he would. It was the next night during the "B" block. He also showed where #FireChrisHayes trended on Twitter all day. He tried explaining why he aired it to begin with

Go with what you know. If you just don't know, time, in small,
reasonable doses, the truth will be revealed. Anything else is
50/50, mostly.

Be safe...
