MSNBC should lose at least 5 advertisers

[maxrandb]

for giving that piece of shit 11 day comm directer Scaramucci a God damned second of air time.

The only way to fix our media shitshow is to punish them for their bullshit.

1. I don't understand why they keep interviewing him (CNN, too).

He has absolutely nothing to offer. He doesn't know anything; he hasn't done anything; he's just a noisy grifter. If they want to interview the occasional GOPer I don't care, but at least pick one who's been somewhere and done something.

2. I think we all know why. They believe it will attract viewers.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. I can't think which viewers those would be - certainly not MSNBC's "regulars."

He sure doesn't attract me.

[still_one]

9. agreed, but I think Andrew Lack's mindset is that it will stir up things and attract viewers

I turn it off when anyone of these jerks appear

I think the heads of these networks and programs view it as entertainment. It is their version of "reality TV", which I have never watched either.

[BigmanPigman]

5. They are hoping for ratings to increase instead of decreasing...

which is what SHOULD happen when he is on. He is only trying to sell his book. He should stay on Fux Ruse since that is their audience.

3. Mooch was on Bill Maher last Friday, too.

He was actually trying to explain how Trump's media strategy works, and Maher wouldn't listen. In fact, he got "too emotional".

I didn't see this interview.

6. Scaramucci has nothing to say

no real news or info. Just bullshit, and bad bullshit at that. Scaramucci's hemming and hawings is so annoying.

[moondust]

7. He was on Maher's show last week.

All puffed up pretending to be the world's foremost expert on Donny Doofus. Apparently that's his shtick now.

[Funtatlaguy]

8. His fifteen minutes was almost fifteen minutes

Needs to go away

[OnDoutside]

10. Meh, I don't think Mooch came out as anything but empty and peripheral. I'm more pissed that

MSNBC have those two pieces of faecal matter, Rothman and Podhoretz, on. Mika, for the first time, faced Rothman down last week.

[Vinca]

11. Mooch has been all over the place pimping his book. Look for it at a dollar store near you.

[Eko]

12. Yes lets punish MSNBC.

Who needs enemies,,,,,,,

[maxrandb]

13. Yes, we must

Donnie Fungus Dick is just a symptom. The desease has been caused by 30 years of bullshit reality TV masquerading as "News".

If we don't demand better from our "Free press", then we're going to be dealing with another Donnie Short Fingers a decade from now.

1,300 radio stations broadcasting nothing but demonization of more than half of America and we do nothing!

Cable news broadcasting an empty fucking podium for hours on end and we do nothing.

"News" shows so fucking cowed by a fraudulent claim of bias that they present fascism, racism and bigotry as "just another side of the same coin and we do nothing.

Donnie Shit for Brains can be rejected next week at the ballot box , and it won't take 5 seconds before our "media" starts normalizing the abnormal again.

So yes, we are well past the need for punitive measures.

[Eko]

14. The news moves with ratings.

The ratings come from the American people. Its not the news fault that Americans want stupid shit to watch. Put the blame where it rests.

[maxrandb]

15. I think you're wrong

The news moves with money.

They start feeling the pain in their wallets, they'll adjust their behavior.

[Eko]

16. Yes, ratings equal money.

If you are going to do that, why not do it to faux news instead of the most liberal media we have out of the large ones?

[maxrandb]

18. So here's an example just posted to DU

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100211355648

Should Twitter face no consequences for this?

Well I guess since they "apologized"...no need to do anything to impact their bottom line

[Eko]

19. Twitter is not MSNBC.

They are not the most liberal of the twits, they are not news. Try again.

[Eko]

17. If you think about it,

Since faux news has the best ratings for the most part and hence the most money, why doesn't MSNBC use their business model?
