KRYSTAL BALL: On behalf of the four of us, I’d like to thank our incomparable crew that worked so hard to get us on the air every single day. The incredible folks in hair and makeup who make us look our best and feel our best every single day. Our amazing team that has really become a family, led by Steve Friedman. And most of all, you at home…
ABBY HUNTSMAN: The one thing we can all agree on is that “The Cycle” is a show that we can be so proud of, and we came in this building every single day with one mission in mind, and that is the audience, and that is delivering the news and delivering stories that are fun and energetic and smart and sometimes awkward… what?
NEBLETT: Look over that-a-way when you say “awkward.” *points toward Ari Melber*
[laughs]
ABBY HUNTSMAN: I just want to say, I love you guys, and I love our audience, so it’s been a great wild time, and it’s been fun.
ARI MELBER: I’m proud of this show. I’m proud of our team. This has been a show where we’ve covered a lot of stories, both serious and important, and sometimes fun as well, and we’ve sometimes brought values to the table. I think about that with each of you, the team I work with, and I’m proud of that.
NEBLETT: I’m proud that over the past three years — I love you guys. I love Steve. Thank you for trusting us on this journey, and you know, I love MSNBC. This network meant a lot to me and to us before we were here, even as guests. We’re proud to have been a small part of its history, and I hope you guys keep watching because it’s trying to do something special, and we were trying to do something special, and I think we look back with pride on the 700 shows or so that we did with pride and joy —
KRYSTAL BALL: We’ve been doing this for over three years now. It’s been a joy and a privelege.

NEBLETT: We’re going to continue being friends, continue to speak to you. Thank you for taking this journey with us.

5 liberals who SLAMMED the president’s Obamacare speech

In an address from the White House Rose Garden Monday on the less-than-stellar launch of the Obamacare online exchanges, President Obama sought to ease a worried nation. But he didn’t even succeed in assuaging the concerns of his liberal supporters in the media.
Here are five liberals who weren’t particularly impressed with the Great Orator’s Monday oration:
Ezra Klein
The liberal Washington Post blogger criticized the launch of the Obamacare exchanges last week as a total failure. Judging by his tweets, he wasn’t particularly heartened by the president’s Rose Garden speech:
Andrew Sullivan
The liberal blogger, who at one time insisted he was actually a conservative, is one of President Obama’s biggest proponents. But he too was underwhelmed by Obama’s speech.
“I have to say I found his remarks far less contrite than they should have been,” he wrote on his blog. “Where is the unqualified apology? Where is the commitment to basic accountability for this clusterfuck? Instead, we have all these positive rationalizations and excuses in a confusing technical lecture”
“Obama needs to get ahead of this, and stop being as defensive as he was this morning,” he added. “He does not have the credibility to sell us on the ACA when he does not cop more aggressively to his own failure to stay on top of this most important domestic initiative.”
In another blog post, Sullivan linked to several articles demonstrating that the Obamcare call centers were not operating efficiently either.
Krystal Ball 
Ball, one of the liberal hosts on MSNBC’s “The Cycle,” didn’t quite criticize President Obama’s speech Monday, but she was highly critical of the Obamacare roll out.
“I was prepared for some glitches but this is a catastrophe,” Ball said, before suggesting Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius should possibly resign.
Benjy Sarlin
The MSNBC.com reporter, who used to work at the liberal website Talking Points Memo, also took to Twitter to bash the president’s speech.
Matt Yglesias  
Even liberal Slate blogger Matt Yglesias, who predicted Obamacare’s implementation would be a “huge political success,”  was critical of the assurances in President Obama’s speech.

Krystal Ball Says GOP Has Replaced Jim Crow as Enemy of Black Americans


MSNBC IS HOPING THEIR IS A RACE WAR SO THEY CAN BLAME THE REPUBLICANS!!!
MSNBC’s Krystal Ball slammed the Republican Party in a tongue-in-cheek monologue at the end of Tuesday’s The Cycle, declaring that the GOP is the new Jim Crow. But in the process, she also drew attention to the problem of complacency among Democratic voters, seemingly resorting to an offensive stereotype that they are generally lazy, disinterested in public policy, and need to be driven by fear.
Much of Ball’s rant was focused on how new Republican-imposed voter ID laws in many states have increased the desire to vote among traditional Democratic constituencies. She concluded by blasting the GOP as the new purveyors of Jim Crow laws: [Video below. MP3 audio here.]

"Fifty years ago, the March on Washington focused on ending Jim Crow, a disgusting villain that hid behind the law to deprive people of their votes and sometimes their lives. Fifty years later, we have no Jim Crow and without a villain to focus on, it's hard to get people fired up. Congratulations, Republicans. You have taken the place of Jim Crow. You are now the people conspiring to keep folks from voting."
 
That’s incredibly insulting to the vast majority of Americans that polls show want to prevent voter fraud through common-sense voter ID measures, including some two-thirds of black and Hispanic voters. Sadly, you can expect this kind of propaganda from Krystal Ball, who is one of the many partisan Democrats with a regular role on MSNBC. But in the earlier portion of her monologue, she perhaps unintentionally hit on the problem of Democratic complacency. She implied that Republican policies had inspired so many liberals to march on Washington last Saturday:
