Which talk-show hosts are supporting Chained-CPI and which are opposing?

[Eric J in MN]

Sam Seder is opposed.

Please post the names of talk-show hosts you've heard take a position on Chained-CPI.

1. Tom Hartman, Cenk, and Ed

The rest have said it's a wonderful and serious compromise that the Dems are willing to make.

[Armstead]

2. Chris Matthews is skeptical....in his usual contadictory way

he and Dana Milbank were having some obnoxious chuckles about the protests about chained CPI looking like the 1960's.

But Matthews did express some skepticism about it, and questioned the wisdom's of the presidents strategy of giving first to the GOP.

3. Thanks

I saw a Tweet by Digby that Chris Matthews & Dana Milbank called Bernie Sanders an old hippie, and I thought Matthews might be completely in favor of Chained CPI.

5. Specifically,

Milbank called Sanders a nut. Or he could have been talking about the people that attended yesterday's rally in general, I couldn't tell. Chris Matthews was talking about Bernie Sanders' speech and chained CPI while showing footage of Sanders and people at the rally, and Dana Milbank said "this just shows that the right and left both have their nuts."

Chris Matthews basically laughs and keeps going.

[Eric J in MN]

6. Thanks for the details.

Based on your description, I think Dana Milbank was ridiculing both Bernie Sanders and the people at the rally.

[Cleita]

18. Of course he would.

One way to discredit someone is to call them a nut. There was a reason Keith Olbermann banned him from his show when he was on the air.

4. The ones who have been driven off of the tv ...

are generally going to be the ones who won't follow the party line.

7. Well...

Some, like Rachel, have been disappointingly silent on the issue, though they haven't specifically came out for chained CPI, they will spend their entire show on the gun control issue, etc.

That being said, Senator Merkley is going to be on Chris Hayes' show tonight to talk chained CPI, so that's good.

[Eric J in MN]

8. I was especially wondering about Rachel Maddow.

I tried a Google search and a Bing search, but I couldn't find Maddow's position on Chained-CPI.

9. I worry for Rachel

She has always seemed to be so progressive, but with Matthews and Schultz coming out and saying we need a moderate president like Hillary, where does this leave Rachel?

[Oilwellian]

10. Jon Stewart exposed Rachel years ago

Classic and true.

[fadedrose]

11. Am not following you...

What do you mean?

Thanks..

[KoKo]

12. I'd like to know also...even though I watch alternative news to

her show on MSNBC...she still has done some good work that many Dems find her show informing.

So...I'm not wanting to trash her...but, if you have news about her please post. Folks can make up their own minds about it...

13. Oh...Sam is on Majority Report? I thought he was still Pod Casting

on Net Radio.

Great...I can now get him on my Roku Box on "Tune In Radio!" Great to see the Video!

[Eric J in MN]

16. Sam Seder's show is titled "Majority Report."

It's not part of "Air America" anymore.

[winter is coming]

14. Chris Hayes characterized it as a "bad deal" at the beginning of tonight's show.

Don't think he's covered it in detail yet, but I've been in and out of the room, so I could be wrong.

[Eric J in MN]

17. Thanks. NT

15. Chris Hayes did a good segment on it tonight

and said he's going to do another show in the future about expanding the social safety net. He's for raising the cap on SS.
