Time to turn the news off again...MSNBC is now Trump all the time...announced breathlessly

[Demsrule86]

a few minutes ago, he was reading teleprompter and when allowed to be 'free wheeling'...he still excites his base...can I say I loathe Alex Witt. CNN is announcing (Tapper) how Biden is just like all those other presidents who let the Saudis get away with murder but God Damn Biden made a promise...nary a word about the billions paid to Jared likely for help with the killing. They have had in my opinion very little coverage on the LGBTQ nightclub shooting; I am just disgusted with all of them. They didn't even show that the suspect was arrested for making a bomb last year which another DUer was kind enough to post...going to watch a Hallmark Christmas movie.

[DURHAM D]

2. I turned to Antiques Roadshow. nt

[True Blue American]

9. The Kitchen.

[Demsrule86]

18. That is it!

[Demsrule86]

12. I have that channel and I enjoy that show...better than cable news for sure...but then I think

Mr. Ed would be better.

3. What?!?! You're missing the "Highway Patrol" marathon on Decades?!?!

https://www.decades.com/schedule

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highway_Patrol_%28American_TV_series%29



That's a negative on the 5150 at your twenty.

10-4.

[Demsrule86]

4. Clearly, I made a mistake and will immediately turn the TV bac to watch that instead of

of Hallmark!

[JohnSJ]

5. From my perspective the cable/satellite news media has very little to offer. Combination of news

with editorial comment, so the viewer cannot distinguish actual news from commentary

If I want News I will read it in the major newspapers, watch local news, PBS, and Bloomberg

Tapper has been one of the worst among the CNN hosts

[Demsrule86]

13. You are correct. It is pretty clear that Trump and Jared were involved in the murder but never one

thing said about that. But if had done what they suggest and gas prices went higher, they would be lamenting his lack of diplomacy.

[JohnSJ]

23. +++

[bullimiami]

6. Oh I know. It's awful the obsession with that pos. The quotes, the clips. Makes me shut it off.

[Demsrule86]

14. I can't take it anymore. I hate Trump and am sick that they are so obsessed with him.

[oldtime dfl_er]

7. You'd think

they'd give a damn what their consumers -- viewers -- think but they obviously don't. I mean, if EVERYONE turned them off, they'd have to change, right?

[GoodRaisin]

8. Now?

[SCantiGOP]

10. What in the hell do people want?

MSNBC is the most liberal network on TV. Do people think Rachel Maddow and Chris Hedges are secretly conservative operatives?

Go ahead and turn it off if you want; that action will have absolutely no impact on anything except that you will be confined to an increasingly closed information loop where you only see and hear things that you already know and believe.

[Demsrule86]

16. Alex Witt is the worst...and they are no way liberal.

[SCantiGOP]

20. Name one MSM network that is more liberal?

If people want to live in an echo chamber that is their right.
I'm not scared that I am going to get corrupted if I hear something that I don't agree with on occasion.

[Demsrule86]

24. We don't have any liberal networks...we have a few folks on MSNBC that lean left but the powers

the be run the show...

[SCantiGOP]

29. So we boycott everybody

since no one is pure.
Got it.

[Genki Hikari]

31. I'm not required to support people who lie to my face

And prop up fascist traitors.

That's why I don't have cable.

It's my money. Not yours. I decide what I'll spend it on, and it won't be on our traitor media.

We aren't in a closed loop in the modern media age. We have other options out there that really do report news in an unbiased manner.

That's what you don't get.

[Just A Box Of Rain]

39. Chris Hedges is a vile Putin apologist,

but he doesn't have a show on MSNBC. That's Chris Hayes.

Chris Hayes, who on Sept. 27 wrote: "I think probably the best answer is cut off weapons to Ukraine and lean on them to sue for peace now."

I can see why some might confuse the two.

[SCantiGOP]

44. Thanks for correcting my brain fart

[Just A Box Of Rain]

45. ...

[snowybirdie]

11. The other dsy

I counted how many times the orange one's name was mentioned on MJ. Got disgusted and haven't turned it on since. ENOUGH!

[PatSeg]

15. One of my problems with MSNBC

is they often report the same story all day long, as if nothing else is happening in the world. Yes, I like MSNBC for the politics, but throwing in a little news now and then would be nice.

We have 24/7 cable news networks, but we are actually getting less NEWS. Lots and lots of opinions though.

[Demsrule86]

17. Also, please not the lack of interest in the Colorado Springs shooting...I am appalled.

[Silent3]

19. I'm not so sure that's a bad thing

Why not take the wind out of the sails of people who might do these things to make a big splash in the news?

Besides, the coverage is usually long and repetitious and a lot of guesswork and speculation until days or weeks after a tragic event.

We need to know that these things happen in general, so we know it's a problem that needs action. But I doubt the breathless hours of coverage while the same three minutes of video loops over and over again helps make things better.

[Demsrule86]

25. It was the reason they did it. They did not view it as important. They were lambasted on Twitter

and TIK Tok. Also, why has no media reported that the killer is the grandson of a MAGA election denier in San Diego who is a Republican elected official?

[PatSeg]

33. Damn, I didn't know that!

I guess they couldn't fit that into the nonstop coverage of Nancy Pelosi resigning as Speaker. Definitely an important story, but how many HOURS does it take to report it?

[Demsrule86]

36. When I first tuned in...I had heard of the shooting mostly from fragments on DU but

I didn't see the story posted. I had to look on Google to see what had happened no cable news
network were saying much...I think CNN had a banner under their regular programming but that was it.

[PatSeg]

41. That is so disturbing

How many other stories aren't we hearing about?

[PatSeg]

22. That apparently wasn't in their script

God help us if some celebrity dies. That is all we'll hear about for days. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again?

[Demsrule86]

26. I almost lost my mind When Queen Elizabeth died.

[BlackSkimmer]

28. Why? Did Hallmark cover the funeral too?

I had no idea!

[Demsrule86]

37. I do sometimes watch other channels then Hall Mark. I will ignore your condescension as

I am in a good mood after watching the last Aurora Teagarden episode.

[PatSeg]

32. I didn't even bother to turn MSNBC on

during all that. It was a story and certainly needed reporting, but not all day long for days and days! The worst I can recall was when Michael Jackson died. That was ridiculous.

[Demsrule86]

38. Exactly...Michael Jackson was a great artist but not a great person too.

[PatSeg]

42. Yes, the celebrity worship in this country

is appalling. What on earth did that man do to make the world a better place? Why on earth did he deserve so much air time? He got as much coverage, if not more, as a former president when he dies. Definitely not a "great person".

[BlueIdaho]

30. Same six stories hour after hour, host after host...

Lather, rinse, and repeat…

[PatSeg]

34. Yeah, it is rare for any program

to start off their show differently than the one before. I suppose it is cheaper that way, though they might as well just rerun the same program all day.

Oh and you're lucky if you get as many as SIX stories!

[I_UndergroundPanther]

21. I like streaming free speech tv

A decent liberal station.

[BlackSkimmer]

27. CNN is showing specials on Michelle Obama and Gabby Gifford.

Beats Hallmark imo.

[Celerity]

35. I like MSNBC overall and will continue to watch it. I am more than capable of discernment.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

40. MSNBC announced this morning about the previous bomb arrest

My wife had it on when I was getting ready about 6:30 and I heard it.

[Initech]

43. Totally fucking gross. It's almost like they want him to run again.

I will probably be throwing my TV out the window in the near future.
