Why the fuck is MSNBC carrying shit for brains

[maxrandb]

Campaign speech in PA like it's some kind of fucking breaking news???

The media needs to get the shit beat out of them when sane people gain back control of this godforsaken country.

This is the kind of shit that ensured this fuckwads election.

I'm surprised they didn't start an hour early showing us a fucking empty podium.

Please MSNBC... just give me two minutes on one of your panels

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. +1

[PatentlyDemocratic]

2. Even BBC News was carrying it

Must be a slow news day?

[Ohiogal]

3. I am sick of all his free media exposure too.

They never did this for Obama! It's like this hump blows a fart and it's headline news.

[pangaia]

4. Because more people will look at a bloody wreck on the interstate than look at the moonrise.

[Volaris]

21. It's my opinion that we have to take the profit out of news as much as we have to

Take the money out of politics

[jrthin]

33. Yes. As CBS President said in 2016,

Trump is bad for the country, but he's good for profit.

[Susan Calvin]

44. Yep.

Sadly.

[BigmanPigman]

5. So is CNN!!! FUCK THEM BOTH!

This is like the 2016 campaign all over again. They would show 20 min of an empty stage and podium waiting for the fucking moron to appear all for ratings $$$$$$$$. Meanwhile Hillary wanted to discuss the real issues and couldn't get any air time. BOYCOTT BOTH CNN and MSNBC or better yet, email them. If they keep this up the midterms are lost. I have had it with the corporations selling this shit!

[american_ideals]

16. We have an effectively right wing media

[BigmanPigman]

18. Yes we do!

I called both stations to complain and was able to leave a mess with CNN but MSNBC was all full so I tried Rachel's mailbox/extension and that was full too. I am REALLY pissed off and this is not the end of it! I will be calling and emailing them (but we all need to).

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. So true... both are unwatchable now.

[Rhiannon12866]

6. I had that very same reaction - cursed out the TV!

I missed Rachel last night, so I was really happy to get a second chance to see her. I was just settling in and getting interested in what she was saying when this "breaking news" suddenly interrupted with nothing more important than that orange moran standing on stage, smirking and clapping for himself! I changed the channel.

[wishstar]

7. I was enjoying the Rachel repeat that I missed yesterday until the rally interrupted

So I turned it off. MSNBC calling his same old shit campaign rally propaganda "breaking news" is ludicrous.

[Rhiannon12866]

10. Same with me...

[shraby]

8. I turned it to the science channel. Don't need to watch trump fiction.

[jalan48]

9. Why are we surprised about what the corporate media does?

[njhoneybadger]

11. He calls them fake news they air his propaganda

[Different Drummer]

26. Exactly. What does that say about them? n/t

[HipChick]

12. TeeVee has been off all today..

oh well..sounds like I am not missing..

[Blue_true]

19. Same here. Spent the day writing. nt

[BigmanPigman]

13. I called both CNN and MSNBC to complain.

CNN let me leave a mess. [phone] which I did. MSNBC [phone] wouldn't let me so I went to Rachel's ext. and the mailbox was full.

I AM IRATE!

[shenmue]

14. Why the fuck is he campaigning almost three years before the election?

Fucker loves the sound of his own voice.

[Blue_true]

20. He is there for the rethug that is up Tuesday.

Biden was there late this week for the Dem.

[shenmue]

22. Oh, okay, I thought he was there just for himself. Thank you for the correction.

[mountain grammy]

25. Oh, he's still there for himself..

always for himself. He wants the KGOP candidate to win for himself.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

30. Who else? haha

[maxrandb]

35. Yes, I clearly remember them breaking in to their regular program

To carry Biden's speech.

[Blue_true]

40. I just gave the reason why Trump was there.

I said nothing about the tv coverage. The unfortunate reality is that Presidents get more media coverage than non Presidents.

But head to head, Biden would beat Trump up worse than he did Lyin Ryan in 2012.

[maxrandb]

41. My eye roll was for the media

And the obvious bias of broadcasting that shit... not you.

[american_ideals]

15. Theyre owned by GOP comcast

And run by GOP Andy Lack

[dalton99a]

17. Every time he opens his shithole, it's LIVE Breaking News

Sickening

[orangecrush]

23. because fascism

is here.

Did they give Biden's support for Conor Lamb the same amount of coverage?

Hell no.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

45. One would think...

that Conor Lamb would be justified in demanding equal free air time when a campaign stop (president or not) is for a specific candidate and televised on public airways. To me, it's the equivalent to an airtime campaign ad purchase. Plus, tRump's trips are paid for by the public.

................... .............

[orangecrush]

46. Whn Conor wins

Exoect narcissistic rage on twitter.

[noel1237]

24. Feels like 2016 redux...what the hell!

,,,,

[quartz007]

27. Simple -- R-A-T-I-N-G-S!

Ratings = Ad revenues in TeeVee business.

[kairos12]

28. They only care about Drumpt ratings and revenues. If he began executing people they

would cover it. Also, saying both sides do it.

[The Wizard]

31. Send them a message

and tell them you change the channel when you see Trump's face or hear his voice. Why is he getting free advertising? They think it gets them ratings, but it's just the opposite.
[e-mail]

[maxrandb]

38. I think a better idea

Would be to require the media to air the Nuremberg trials of the WWII propagandists

[Lil Missy]

32. Because he is the President, whether we like it or not. President gets free coverage.

[LenaBaby61]

37. President gets free coverage.

Not like this treasonous HOG. It's sickening, especially given the way he continues to ridicule and insult the media. But then again, we have a mostly complicit and corporate media so uh

Also, during the 2016 primaries one of the major networks (I forget whether it was MSNBC or CNN) showed an empty podium for about 20 minutes he was to be speaking at instead of covering Bernie Sanders who was giving a day of primary win speech. The HOG never showed up to speak, but the podium got plenty of air time

[Susan Calvin]

43. Coverage, within reason, uh huh.

"Breaking news"? Nope.

[Honeycombe8]

34. Oh...a Trump 2020 campaign speech? Seriously? The hubris.

But a Prez giving a campaign speech only a year after he took office is bizarre; maybe that's why they showed it. The Prez of the U S is news, I guess.

[maxrandb]

36. Worse than that

It was a fucking rally speech for some Nazi Retrumplican running for Congress in PA

[Honeycombe8]

39. Oh, so it wasn't Trump's own campaign speech. It was for someone else?

Yeah...not newsworthy. That goes on all the time.

[Susan Calvin]

42. Exactly.

It's not breaking news. It's free publicity.
