I turned it on just to see the narrative. Wow, Erin Burnett basically had TV sex with Donald Trump and his Magat followers.
I found out from her that removing classified documents isn't that big of a deal.
Can't wait for Nicolle to come back. She had the perfect response to the Magat's outrage, she said, go ahead, hitch your wagon to Trump, Bring it on.
I still see the right wing narrative being pushed to talk about the 2024 election.
At least I got to listen to a little Stephanie Miller and Thom Hartmann today.
Cable news is bad.

(7,630 posts)compare with Fox, Newsmax (my MIL sent me the mag several years ago) , and I've heard OAN (never seen it) in terms of just terrible journalism.

(21,362 posts)I can't watch MSNBC either. Is MSNBC getting ready to fire Nicolle and Chris?
All of the talk on cable news about the Magats ready for Civil war, half of the internet outrage comes from Russian bots.
The days of Keith Olbermann and Dylan Ratigan are over. I can't even watch baseball, I'm a Pirate's fan.
I will have to wait for November for Penn State wrestling.

(7,955 posts)I watched NBC and ABC to see their take and their total focus was on Repuke outrage. It totally angered me.

(38,505 posts)It's like they WANT more violence to cover. (Talking about the "MSM" top-of-the-line infotainers.)

(21,362 posts)they are all repeating the same talking points, the Magat outrage. How can an executive branch infringe on the personal phone of a member of the legislative branch? Chris Perry.
The #1 Magat narrative before this one was the 2024 election. The 2024 election also gushed onto DU.

(13,783 posts)... value "neutral" news reporting. I affirm it when CNN and PBS interview right wing people. What do we want? A world of only MSNBC, which I truly value,.... but.... I don't want a one party system. I want some news outlets that TRY to be neutral. It's hard in this day when adhering to the truth is also a principle they follow.

(21,362 posts)when it is trying to end our democracy? The GQP should be declared domestic terrorists. Yeah, we give them equal time which gives their ongoing coup credence and then when they control government there will be no CNN or MSNBC, there will be no DU. Where will we go to express our opinions when fascists are in control, standing in front of a tank?

(13,783 posts)... should include pointing out lies. They've learned to do that since Trump declared the great steal.

CTTOI, I haven't seen Burnett in ages.

(14,176 posts)CNN naturally sent a reporter down to Log-a-Merdo to interview his supporters to see how they felt about the FBI executing a search warrant there.
Can you guess how people who'd rally outside his gold club felt about it? It was as worthless as the 52nd NYT visit to a diner in the hinterlands to see whether his supporters still supported him. The reporter tried to reel things back in at the end of the segment, but it was a deeply lost cause by that point.

(30,540 posts)I don't want to hear nothing but an echo chamber continually. I used to do that and had a rude awakening. I was unprepared for when the reality was different from what I'd been hearing.
