(27,315 posts)And he is right. If MSNBC spent half of that time reporting on Sanders and Hillary Clinton, may be Democratic primary voters would be better informed.
And if they were using part of this time talking about the 11 other GOP candidates, who knows. may be some GOP voters could be informed too.
But this is all about money, money, money. I stopped watching MSNBC as I had stopped watching FOX. Better things to do in life than hearing about Trump being an idiot.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)But for low-information folks who operate primarily on visual rather than auditory stimuli (Boss Tweed understood this at a gut level), Trump's ubiquitous presence looks considerably different.
I caught part of the Toady Show yesterday, and once again they had Trump on for yet another telephone interview. The guy doesn't even have to drop by 30 Rock; NBC affords him free air time anyway. Trump wants to deliver a message, and NBC serves as his personal Western Union.

(19,993 posts)If the corporations that put up the ad money are giddy about the prospect of putting a billionaire "dealmaker" in the White House, maybe they are encouraging/demanding blanket coverage.
More tRrump = more ad revenues?
Separation
(1,975 posts)It's not just msnbc, it every cable newz channel. Haven't you wondered why he hasn't made any commercials? Why should he? He gets unbelievable air exposure. I cannot imagine him being president, the very thought of it is revolting.
