They seem to think there's no easily accessable record of the past.
And are relying on the old saying .that the American public has the attention span of a gnat.

(18,037 posts)just like the NYT, WaPo, and CNN. They were warned:
So I would urge journalists to ask whether they are reporting facts or simply engaging in innuendo, and urge the public to read with a critical eye. If reports about a candidate talk about how something raises questions, creates shadows, or anything similar, be aware that these are all too often weasel words used to create the impression of wrongdoing out of thin air.
And heres a pro tip: the best ways to judge a candidates character are to look at what he or she has actually done, and what policies he or she is proposing. Mr. Trumps record of bilking students, stiffing contractors and more is a good indicator of how hed act as president; Mrs. Clintons speaking style and body language arent. George W. Bushs policy lies gave me a much better handle on who he was than all the up-close-and-personal reporting of 2000, and the contrast between Mr. Trumps policy incoherence and Mrs. Clintons carefulness speaks volumes today.
In other words, focus on the facts. America and the world cant afford another election tipped by innuendo.

(15,751 posts)FDR and Churchill needed Stalin, needed to cooperate with him, to win the war. In spite of their 'dislike' of Stalin, they didn't disdain Stalin. They needed Stalin's resources and efforts to help [understatement] win WWII!
We need Morning Joe who can bring needed votes to win the 2018 Election war. Many of his viewers are not the DMG type who will almost certainly vote Democratic. Joe can help bring votes.

(7,768 posts)she asks him about the criticism and charges he gets that they helped elect trump by giving him so much air time.
He said he and Mika made several mistakes and they talk about that all the time. He said there were things they should have done differently. He says they had a running offer for anyone running for President to call in and they would have them on the show. He said the only one to take them up on it (besides Donald) was Lindsay Graham. He said everyone else was afraid.
Stephanie's question to him starts at 8:25 in.

(20,674 posts)when it was entirely clear they voted primarily based on racism, will never admit they knew about Trump's obvious racial division campaign tactics the whole time and, indeed, they helped him push it. Heck, they'll do it again in 2020. They never admitted they legitimized the swift boats for truth bullshit against Kerry, etc... Democrats win despite the media, but certainly not due to it. The media is not a liberals' friend.

I believe that the best means of dealing with them, MSNBC, CNN and alike is to simply turn off the Breathless 24/7 Infotainment.
