Has anyone seen M$M report on the power-grabs in Wisc. & Michigan?

[Equinox Moon]

I am concerned that it is not top leading news. I have not seen it on national network TV news. I have seen reporting on local news.

Thanks.

1. Someone said it's huge news within those States, and not looking good

for the GOP.

[Equinox Moon]

3. Good! But I am concerned this is not national news.

[elocs]

2. yes

[Equinox Moon]

4. Good. Do you remember which national network?

[cannabis_flower]

25. I saw it on CNN and

Also heard it on NPR.

[mucifer]

5. It's in the local news in Chicago. The slant is not favorable to the GOP

[Equinox Moon]

6. Good. What about national network news?

[mucifer]

7. I only watch MSNBC and they aren't too happy about it. Oh and

Chag Samaach!!!

[Equinox Moon]

9. Thanks. I don't have cable, but of course I see clips from youtube.

Chag Samaach to you as well.

I am not Jewish, but using the Hanuka menorah avatar to honor those that are has been an education. I have never heard the term "Chag Samaach" before and needed to look it up. Thanks!

8. CNN is covering them hourly.

[Equinox Moon]

10. Thanks. I don't have cable news to know that and I suppose you don't watch national network news

since you have cable.

I am glad cable is reporting on it.

12. Looks like the money trail has already been mapped out.

Not looking good for the gopee.

[UniteFightBack]

11. Yes they are....Lemon had the Gov elect on the other night and someone else did too, can't

remember now. Chuck Todd talked about it yesterday in very disparaging terms. Yes they are talking about it but not sure about LOCAL news which I don't watch.

[Equinox Moon]

13. I think you are talking about cable news, not network TV news.

Well, Chuck Todd has the NBC Sunday network show. I don't think he is on network TV except for that.

[UniteFightBack]

22. Yes I'm talking about cable. I don't watch the local or the nightly. nt

[Scoopster]

14. NPR has had some good coverage of what's going on.

It's had to compete with HW's funeral the past few days tho.

[Equinox Moon]

15. Yes, I have heard some of it on NPR.

Have you seen it on network TV national news?

[Hortensis]

16. It's reported everywhere, Equiinox. EVEN on the

evening network news. If you missed the thin slicks of news jam between the thick slabs of commercial bread, no surprise and oh well. The function of the viewers there is to be audience for the ads, not be informed. And you know the MSM all belong to giant corporations, most subsidiaries of 7 huge international conglomerates.

As for the rest of the media, what's remarkable there is the overall excellence and concern of much of the coverage. Not only the little details but the big picture are being reported -- to the entire nation even if only reaching those smart enough to care, as always.

The Wisconsin power grab is part of a bigger Republican attack on democracy: The GOP’s turn against democracy may be a greater threat to the American experiment than President Trump

State Republicans in three of the country’s most vital swing states are displaying open contempt for the most basic principle of democracy: that when you lose an election, you have to hand over power to your opponents. The national party hasn’t condemned these power grabs, giving the state legislatures tacit permission to rewrite the rules.

These power grabs highlight one of the most disturbing facts about American politics today: The Republican Party has become institutionally indifferent to the health of democracy. It prioritizes power over principle to such an extreme degree that it undermines the most basic functioning of democracy.

I'd say unquestionably a far greater threat.

17. Thank you Hortensis.

Vox often does a good job.

[Luciferous]

23. MSNBC has been reporting on it... I live in WI and am livid about what they are doing here!

[EffieBlack]

24. MSNBC has been all over it.

So have three NY Times and Washington Post.

[Progressive dog]

26. It's been on MSNBC.

The NC voter fraud and Mueller probe are getting more coverage.

[GemDigger]

27. That is all I have been hearing about.

On cable, local news and the local newspaper.

[Equinox Moon]

28. Yep, local news and cable, but not network national tv

That is the distinction here. CBS, NBC, ABC

[GemDigger]

Oops wrong one... looking for the right one.
