Where are the democats?

Alex Witt had Sam Nuneburg on earlier, now she has Omarosa. Before Trump I'd never heard of either of these twits. What makes them worthy of more than one interview, much less repeated appearances on any channel other than Faux Noise?

Did MSNBC make deals with them for repeated (paid?) interviews? Are they hoping Nuneburg will have another on air meltdown? Do they think that they will get first chance at more Omarosa videos or recordings?

I've just turned off my TV and will only turn it back on today for streaming videos or to check the Weather Channel for updates on Florence.

Thanks, MSNBC, for freeing me from your channel.

But I think I have seen this one before, maybe on BBC America or PBS. It's still fun.

Yesterday I watched the last two episodes of George Gently and the final series for the Second Doctor Who.

11. Viewing has to be my satisfaction - I have to lose weight

In order to get my back operated on. I've already lost 6 pounds in two weeks, so I'm on my way.

But baking is NOT gonna happen until after my back operation. In fact it won't happen for over a year, until we get back from our trip to the UK.

5. if it's Sunday it's conservative

for whatever reason, Sunday morning newstalk is all about conservatives, they will be vastly over-represented in any panel discussion or interview segment.

so in a way, you're asking the wrong question. not so much Where, but When are the Democrats? and the answer is, "Not so much on Sundays"

i do not know why this is.

we are in full campaign season and Comcast/NBC/MSNBC want their Horse Race and Redux of 2016. Just the start. Sell them Ads.

12. On Alex Witt's show, or earlier on Joy's?

I missed Joy's show. Overslept and only caught the last coupe of minutes. Then I turned off Alex's show when Omarosa was on.

8. where have they ever been? Going back decades, media puts more right than left on its shows.

It is a main reason we cut the cable 10 years ago and just stopped watching.
