O’Donnell ripped cable news networks for carrying the event live and called it “2016 all over again,” adding that outlets are making the “same mistakes” with their reporting as they did while covering Trump that election cycle.
He also criticized reporters for not asking follow-up questions and knocked networks for fact-checking only after Trump finished speaking.

O’Donnell also knocked networks for not covering Vice President Kamala Harris’ Michigan speech live after the Trump presser, noting that his network was doing Olympics coverage before bringing viewers the last few minutes of her remarks.

O’Donnell often says things with such a confidence and certainty that I find troubling, but when he’s right he’s right.
Sometimes I’ll find myself watching msnbc coverage of some big event, where they have all their well-known anchors doing commentary, and whenever they cut to him for his opinion, he almost always talks in absolutes, like “this is what will happen, no question about it, period.” He’s often quite wrong. That’s not to say he’s necessarily a bad journalist, but I can’t stand listening to this guy’s predictions.
I do enjoy these rants of his though.
Yeah not a big Lawrence fan honestly. He dropped a good bit.
Now I actively avoid Morning Joke and O’Donnell for their mischaracterization of those calling for Biden to step down. Not that I listened to them much before…
