Are MSNBC moving back to the right ? After months and months of reasonable guests, today

[OnDoutside]

Morning Joe had that nasty asshole, Noah Rothmann, and now Mohaddin has Trump mouth for hire, Steve Cortes on. This is more than curious.

1. Profit

Makes for evil in the news.

Take profiteering and private ownership out of the press. Then the owner cannot use it to push right-wing pro rich, agendas.

[OnDoutside]

3. Probably so, but someone has taken a decision somewhere

[Dream Girl]

10. Take that toits logical conclusion. If there is no profit motive would we have a press? Should the

state own the media?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

14. Public television

Does good at reporting news,not shitloads of right wing talking points on there,wonder why. Plus they have great documentaries.

[Dream Girl]

26. Agree public television is great. But should we not have privately owned broadcast media? newspaper?

Should they not make a prifit based on circulation, subscriptions and advertising? Do we really want state owned media?

[I_UndergroundPanther]

32. Well the government is divided

And does not have 1 agenda. There will always be 2 different agendas. Owners have right-wing agendas so they impose it on thier owned companies.

Public media and reinstalling the fairness act can change and remove propaganda .

Rich people have too much power in our country. Public access channels used to show all kinds of veiws.

The thing that's the problem is ownership and control by an owner with an agenda and because they want to keep food on the table the reporters are basically extorted to repeat what the boss wants.

And that is not a free press.

2. It is good to see them squirm sometimes.

This last month a fake close race will be built up by the Cable talkers. I tune out much of the t v closer to the election myself.

[BamaRefugee]

4. MSNBC actually NEEDS trump re-elected to keep making money. Joe Biden, quietly and efficiently

FIXING EVERYTHING TRUMP BROKE is not going to bring many eyeballs to the screen.

[RKP5637]

8. Yep, having things working the way they should and people happy makes news people

very unhappy.

[lame54]

5. The horse-race...

They'll sell out the country for a months worth of ratings

[Ferrets are Cool]

7. This

[RKP5637]

16. They will. They profit off a niche market, but if that market slows down ...

They are P&L centers. Not the old time news that was a cost center only and just done for 15 minute evening news.

[Magoo48]

6. Corporate news is all under the lash of the same master.

[doc03]

9. Wasn't Frank Lutz on there too today?

[LSparkle]

22. Yes but he revealed his focus group liked Biden ...

In the debate and said he has had personal experience with Biden’s decency and empathy.

Mohyeldin pushed back hard on Cortez — I didn’t think the segment made the RW look good at all.

[Boogiemack]

11. I just turn off what i don't want to see or hear. nt

[doc03]

12. Wasn't Frank Lutz on there too today? I heard he was going to be on so I turned it

off.

[lillypaddle]

21. He was very favorable toward Joe Biden

talking about him having had a stroke, and Joe leaving a line he was in to go over to him a give him a big hug. Said he felt like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

[Rice4VP]

13. I changed the channel when I saw Cortez...

They learned nothing

[ooky]

33. I should have.

I haven't seen Cortes on for a while so it kind of caught me off guard, of course he was speed lying like usual. Usually he and the other Trump professional speed liars start showing up on MSM about 30-45 days out from the election.

[tandem5]

15. It might be palatable to hear the endless semi-liberal commentary segments, but

let's be clear that their first goal is to be sensational in order to attract viewership and they'll invite on whoever will advance that goal to the extent that it does not irreparably alter their brand.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

35. Sensationalism

Isn't an issue on PBS because they are not for profit. They don't have to compete for eyeballs.

[tandem5]

43. It ain't all tote bag and mug money 'though

[brooklynite]

17. Who would you consider an acceptable conservative voice?

[BootinUp]

20. I want to use inshallah in a sentence without

Bungling it up but I need help.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

34. None of them. Especially now

They are mouthpieces for rich fascists.

Until the rich lose thier power and a big chunk of thier money nothing's gonna change for the better.

[brooklynite]

37. Personally, I don't want to be in a bubble where everyone agrees with me.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

41. I don't either

But traitors need to be called what they are
Their agenda needs to be exposed.

I think republicans are scum.

I don't think republicans with thier anti American agenda deserve the free press pass they've been given by the owned press run by rich republicans .

If they have republicans on there and they lie and do the shit they do they need to be called out on it.every time. Reporters need job security and whistleblower protections to do their jobs. And the owners of the news are allowed to push their agendas which is wrong.
By owning the livelihoods of reporters.

In this way it's okay those bastards go on there.

They need to be countered and learn to not talk over other people.

[OnDoutside]

40. Anyone who isn't on in support of Trump. Even though I know David French is an anti abortionist,

(and happy to see Barrett on the SC) he would be better than any Trump apologist.

I think rather than saying conservative, it is currently more accurate to say Trumper or Never Trumper until Jan 20 at least.

[Bev54]

18. No they are trying to get some sound bites like CNN n/t

[lillypaddle]

19. Well, Ayman Mohyeldin

just happened to tear Steve Cortes a new one, and it was a joy to watch, so I'm okay with it.

[skylucy]

30. +100 I agree! That was an epic take down. I hope someone posts it here because I

would enjoy watching it again!

[lillypaddle]

45. I just looked online

but I'm having trouble getting the video to load.

[moonscape]

48. Try this on youtube:

[Pathwalker]

49. Ayman gave him an Epic takedown! OP is half-baked BS.

He shut him down and kicked him off the show! It was beautiful.

[lillypaddle]

50. Thanks so much! nt

[JI7]

23. I think many Trump Supporters were refusing to go on the shows

that's why they weren't on but I guess with the elections they are desperate and trying to go everywhere to support Trump.

[kimbutgar]

24. They like the horse race theme and watch to get more repuke eyes

But I’ve known forever msnbc daytime is ghastly and rarely do I watch it except if there is breaking news.

Starting with Ari up to Lawrence it’s watchable.

But what I don’t understand is if MF45 gets re elected they will be threatened and at danger for retaliation. So I don’t understand why they are kissing the fat orange ones ass.

[czarjak]

25. To be fair...

He is sticking it up Steve’s butt and breaking it off sideways though. Lying POS!

[lillypaddle]

27. Yeah, Noah has a stick up his ass

I don't like him either, but he isn't really all that bad. Do we want MSNBC to be another Fox News, but slanting to the left? I'm really kind of surprised at some of the responses here.

[octoberlib]

28. Noah Rothman is a paid MSNBC contributor and has been forever.

Ayman just kicked Cortes' ass all over tv and didn't let him get away with anything.

[OnDoutside]

29. First time I've seen Rothman on MSNBC in months and months. Cortes is just an amoeba talking head,

and shouldn't be let near a respectable channel. He's a Jeffrey Lord type paid hack.

[hunter]

31. MSNBC doesn't exist in my personal universe.

I like it this way.

[themaguffin]

36. Jesus, it's one fucking day. Calm down. Also, the network enabled trump in 2016, for F them.

Don't expect the media to do the right thing.

[OnDoutside]

39. I have MSNBC on in the background most days. It's more than a coincidence to see these two

assholes on the same day.

[madaboutharry]

38. Mohaddin handed Steve Cortes his ass.

Mohaddin destroyed him. It was a thing of beauty.

It is important to expose these lying bastards.

[rockfordfile]

42. That show is right-wing

[emulatorloo]

44. No. MSNBC is not moving right.

[Yeehah]

46. It's the corporate media

They put on a veneer of objectivity but it will always lean right.

[Takket]

47. yeah, that's why their primetime lineup is Reid, Hayes, Maddow, O'Donnel, Williams
