Chuck Todd just mocked and ridiculed Democrats for supporting LLBean boycott.

I'm so angry I can't even think straight. In his rant he tells us to get over our war on christmas and go have some starbucks,I cant even remember all the other put downs, but I hope someone has a video clip.

God Bless 'em, people complain about their horribly biased "coverage" of the news that doesn't exist, yet they KEEP watching.

One of my best friends in this LIFE keeps watching MSNBCRNCFOX, she'll start to boil, then she'll call me and complain for about 1 hour. I gave her their telephone number over there at FOX-lite, but nope--she continues to watch that foul channel then calls me.

Most of my other friends have STOPPED watching, but not my bestie

I spoke my mind about Joy not getting the anchor; Chuckie Cheesie, Greta Van Sewagewoman( though I did Not use my names for them), and their new right wing bias, Fox Lite. I gave supporting reasons for my opinion about each person, and the station. I compared them to CNN, which I had stopped watching, but I said I'm going back to CNN.

If we clog up their lines, maybe they will get these RW messengers off. This is one reason the Repubs won. As someone said, the electorate had a fox news lobotomy. It doesn't matter if you watch it, it matters that they sway the votes of ignorant people.

I give feedback to Fox and Trump when they ask too.
Note, the RW asks for feedback. May not matter, but if I make a tiny difference, that may be all I can hope for. How much difference does 1 vote make, a lot when you multiple it by millions. I actually think it keeps them with the pulse, and some of it is for show. The Dems rarely seek feedback. It assumes to know. This was part of the problem in the election when thousands were saying there is a problem in Wisconsin, and the deciders said, don't worry, we have our plan.

the probe into the FBI/Comey, twisting it into Hillary's crimes and failures, etc. I always held back opinion until I saw if she joined the media inner circle's required anti-Hillary bashing, and now I know. She's good at it too, aggressively modeling every interview "question" into a slur. Andrea's very well connected, but she's also now an elderly women marketed to people with marked disrespect for them, so she had better watch out.

In any case, of course I wasn't around to see Todd's obviously similarly disgusting performance.

Recommend just turning them off. Good for your mental health and bad for theirs'. After all, there're not nearly enough aging white conservatives for two Foxes. It's the best way to fight them.

I read he told buzzfeed they were reporting Fake News.. What the hell does he think he and his station do?

I've been boycotting him since Nov 2002.. him and his ilk.

Did he really think he was helping?

Is he mocking trumpissed fans for boycotting WaPo and cnn? Or is he stfu about that?

Boycotting LLBean because of one atrocious board member/heiress/Trump supporter seems a bit extreme. Sounds like perhaps that was Toad's point? There was no really great reason for the conservatives to boycott Starbucks over a holiday cup, just as there is no really great reason for progressives to boycott LLBean over one right wing board member/heir. Now if LLBean as a company comes out anti-global warming, anti-environment, anti-LTBGQ, or their employee policies are horrible, or the CEO of their company denigrates progressives/liberals, then I would think differently.
And not that this matters, but I have made two purchases from LLBean over the past 15 years and have never bought anything from a Starbucks. Politics had nothing to do with those choices. There are businesses I do avoid however....and Land's End is one I have chosen to avoid. What they did as a Company to appease conservatives I have yet to forgive. To each his own boycott, but do your own research and not just on DU.
