2. He's great. And yes, he's listening and addressing social justice and civil rights issues.

Admitting the issues BLM brought up were very important, admitting he/the campaign have work to do reaching out to minorities, talking about the reform needed in our justice/prison systems, particularly with regards to people of color. Discussing what happened to Sandra Bland. Good interview.

Tweety came on...and the dog decided it was time to go out and poop!

I guess that is what he does to people and dogs.

I'll toss in...Rev. Al, has been really good. I don't watch him consistently (overall, I only returned to looking at MSNBC in the last month after turning it off for...a few years) but he has been calmly talking issues and has been good to Bernie.

And MSNBC is thinking of getting rid of his show, Ed's and Chris Hayes...because the channel's "IMAGE" appears to be too left / liberal.

7. If they get rid of those shows, that leaves Rachel as the only show I want to watch.

Seems like poor programming policy to get rid of the only audience you have,

11. Ed Shultz is the only MSNBC host who does not use Bernie to promote Hillary.

And that includes "self avowed" socialist (not self avowed Democratic Socialist, mind you, but self avowed socialist) Lawrence O'Donnell who in theory produced West Wing, a great show that served basically as vehicle to glorify a Third Way White House, with DeeDee Myers and Gene Sperling as consultants.

"Oooohhh, look at all the excitement socialist Bernie is generating, but he has no chance of winning. Fun to watch, though."



Recently, I saw a video of Maddow interviewing Bernie, but I didn't note the date. Her question: What would it take to make a Hillary Clinton candidacy satisfactory to you?"

(not exact words: posted from memory) As though Bernie were running only to make Hillary's campaign better!

I was getting more and more turned off MSNBC before Bernie ran. Now, I can barely watch it, except for Shultz who, oddly enough, is a "self avowed" former Republican. Bernie has thanked him for all the free air time.

13. Even before I got that, watching him was like watching paint dry.

My theory: the name that appears on your TV as producer of West Wing and as producer of Madam Secretary, respectively, is not the name of the person who conceived either show or hired the screenwriters.



Both great shows, both great political infommercials and much more subtle than the political infommericals of Ross Perot, the man who helped Bubba defeat Poppy.

It has been pointed out that most Presidential candidates went to traditional political sources for their campaigns, but JFK and Bubba went to Hollywood.
