I get my news from PBS, NPR, BBC, NHK, DW, C-Span and Al Jazeera. I remain well informed and do not support the infotainment media designed to fill airtime between ads for drugs we never knew we needed.

it will likely have a clip posted here. I like Maddow as well, but only in very small doses and it's been years since I watched any of her shows.

Cut out the cable noise and you will be better informed and better off.

until the debacle of '16. Sporadically since then. Now I watch Star Trek Next Gen reruns at 9:00. Makes the future seem much brighter.

Hello people-

MSNBC has Joy Read, Chris Hayes, Lawrence O’Donnell, Rachel and Nicole. I listen to them on podcasts so I go about my day not being tied to a tv - which, actually, I do not have.

11. I catch Morning Joe....

....every morning that it airs. No one, and I mean no one can tear trump a new ass better than Joe and his regular guests do. A million people watch him do it 5 days a week, for 3 hours a day. As for his short-lived bromance with trump back in 2016, my opinion is he has more than atoned for it. He is no longer a republican, and is now a registered Independent. I let go of any petty hatred I had for him and Mika not long after he turned on trump. It is apparent that many others feel as I do such as Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Claire mccaskill, Eugene Robinson, Eric swalwell and a myriad of other prominent Democrats he provides a platform for getting the Democratic messaging out to the public. I can guarantee one thing. There is not a Joe Scarborough hater on this board who has done anything near for the Democratic Party than he has, which includes promoting Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the next president and vice president of the United States. If that person is out there, please step forward. It would be a pleasure and a privilege to meet you.

That fucking asshole joe legitimized another complete asshole trump.

Over 200,000 dead because of it. Fuck MSNBC's Morning Joe.

I will never watch that show again.

Wed Oct 14, 2020, 09:24 PM

Personally, I am relieved I do not have to carry the weight of a hatred for a person who has more than atoned for his past. Haters are going to hate, and as long as I feel that hatred is not justified, expect to hear from me. So far, there is not one person who can rationally disagree with my assessment of Joe Scarborough as far as his contribution in getting rid of trump. People act as though Joe Scarborough single-handedly created Donald Trump and is responsible for where we are today. The truth is, and it's hard to admit, he had very little to do with the situation we find ourselves in now. As stated before, the choice is yours to continue the hatred. I have also stated, as long as I feel a need to defend someone I feel unjustly vilified, expect a simple counter argument that again, cannot be rationally disputed.

I'm not putting any demographic imprints on any NBC affiliated stream or broadcast for as long as I can.

Syfy channel, Maddow, and Wallace are going to be tough to miss but I just can't stomach chuck todd's malfeasance here. To know that he is the one that got trump on NBC is just sickening. Maybe if NBC fires chuck toad, I'd reconsider. I cannot promote his success.
