Meanwhile on CNN...

While M$NBC is showing admittedly small one day polls saying Trump has clawed back a couple of points - CNN is going in depth into the Russian hacking of the Clinton eMails and Trump's misreading and misquoting of those emails attributing Newsweek's words to Blumenthal...

M$NBC is really becoming a shithole.

There are many hours where their programming is much better than MSNBCs.

The only one that I don't really like is Wolf Blitzer and even he has been better lately.

Trump's surrogates on there are idiots but the hosts are pretty consistent with calling them out on the BS they spew. And CNN has Ana Navarro, who has been hilarious.

He's still pointing to "Morning Joe" as an example of one of his successes.

It's obvious from the many, many posts here (I have never watch MSNBC - I never wanted my news strained through any kind of political filter), that MSNBC no longer wants to be seen as a "liberal" network.

And they have been the most balanced, which is why I always watch them. They don't ignore negative stories about Hillary but they do their best to report honestly on Trump's crap...and they usually don't let the surrogates get away with crap.

They are covering Trump defending Mike Tyson and calling his rape conviction a travesty.

Now they have Hugh Hewitt on all the time. Gimme a friggin' break, will ya? I swear MSNBC has given STFU donny more coverage than all the others combined. And don't forget, that turd-licker Tweety called the second debate for STFU donny right afterwards. Only after listening to everyone else describe what a colossal shit-show it was, did he climb on board. Can't stand that worm.

Especially, since Trump has started attacking them, they have been taking it to him. Cooper really took down Conway today.

allegiances really lie, how deeply in debt is he to his Russian investors - and why are they messing with our elections. Very serious business indeed.

I hope media can rise to the occasion - sex and controversy sells and so media just LOVES to fixate on that stuff - but really - now is the time to do some real investigative journalismo
