watch any of 'em, including MSNBC much anymore. I didn't even watch on election night.
I'm sick of the promotion of the GOP/Rush's type and much more...even IF they do it under the veil of criticisms.
Funny, you don't hear any of the Progressive talk show clips.
Very few Progressives are allowed on...and when they are they are tightly controlled in both context and time...rarely are they given an opportunity to fully Rebut the "michael steels" when they are invited.
There is no point in watching/listening to them. There is nothing to learn.

Basically we watched our mass media go from the height of investigative journalism in the 70s - to a corporate themed infortainment organization that bases success on ratings and not accuracy in reporting.

....obviously, this is what they're groomed and paid to do....I believe the 1% even have an on-the-job training program for their would-be lackies....

....they'll toss a shill trainee into the middle of one of their M$M cesspools, flush a few times and if he/she floats to the top, they're granted a puke PR job and case of Vaseline....

Collusion that ordinary people aren't privy to.
