Let's stop the manipulations from MSNBC, CNN, FOX, etc.
QUIT watching the networks/shows (Morning Joe. e.g)until this Primary season is over. Let them lose the ratings. (except for Keith) :).
Anybody else with me? I'm tired of this one-sided shit. It's apparent it's just gonna be slam Obama through Novemeber. They keep making it sound like a chance that Clinton can win this primary. They are being VERY one-sided.
Anybody else with me? It would be a great way to tell the networks they can't tell us what to think. :evilgrin:

1. If it makes you feel better, go for it. I don't think it will impact ratings much. |
|
Networks certainly can and do tell us what to think and then it's our choice whether to go along. If telling people what to think was ineffective and did not work, they would not do it.

2. I only watch Keith as it is |
|
I don't waste my time on any of the other MSM/faux/cnn mouthpieces
Now, if MSNBC would boot tweety out and give Rachel Maddow that time slot.....

Burying our heads in the sand is not the answer. If you don't pay attention to the opposition you end up like Hillary, living in an echo chamber.

4. KO is my only news source |

So I'm on board. I can't stand watching the talking heads continue to degrade our country and dilute our national dialog.

6. I don't agree. If we don't watch them, nothing gets debunked |
|
Not debunking their lies could be very dangerous.

I found DU when I was looking for information on a smear and it helped alot.
