?is=Ejjvt3E2q8n5SL7VHe lets the "news media" have it for white washing Platner. Platner has been a 100% liar and fraud throughout his life. Lawrence nailed his BS and those who covered for him.

(55,830 posts)learned that Lawrence posted that his show tonight would not be supporting any "news" from media sources, including MS NOW, and he would NOT be doing that on HIS show. In fact, he planned to expose the BS cover ups by all political parties and media sites. That made me look forward to seeing his show tonight.

(55,830 posts)and he would not allow MS NOW to control him and the info/lies he has on Platner and the cover ups by the media. That impressed me. Lawrence and Velshi always have my respect.

(328 posts)has the full speech Platner gave about withdrawing from the race or at least what seems to be the whole thing and the order in which he said things was different than what was on a replay of what I think was tonight's actual Lawrence O'Donnell show which included some excerpts of the Platner video. I haven't seen that part of Lawrence's show posted here. The clips seemed strategically edited/ order changed in at least one spot on Lawrence's show making Platner look worse than what I heard on the full video. His withdrawal speech comes across better in the full version in what I think is the actual order in which he said things assuming no editing.

I know the powers that be have decided to drop him, I just think they should not be misleading about what he said.

(261,966 posts)Lawrence did talk about Platner Tuesday night, and this was from his Tuesday night show, but it was announced around 8pm ET since Chris Hayes' show announced it. Lawrence O'Donnell was not a fan, we learned that Tuesday night, and so tonight his show uploaded two guests who knew he dropped out which we didn't know yesterday. Here were the guests from tonight:
