I have MSNBC on and just listening and

[INdemo]

Question. why is MSNBC giving so much air time to this idiot about the wall?

[chillfactor]

1. CNN doing the same coverage

[femmocrat]

2. I have it on mute.

Just reading the captions. I can’t stand to listen to that jackass.

[jalan48]

3. Ratings. They did the same thing during the 2016 primaries.

[elleng]

5. Yes, they did, and see what we got.

I 'boycotted' them at the time.

[jalan48]

10. It makes sense if you view corporate news as entertainment before actual news and analysis.

[UniteFightBack]

20. Yes they ran his rants in 2016. I thought that the American people would see this and

resoundingly reject it. I thought ..fine the more they see the more people will be disgusted.

So the question is not why they showed his rallies...that obvious and human nature, and yes business. The question is why did so many American people still vote for him...people who KNEW it was wrong.

But you go ahead and blame the media if that makes you feel better..but just remember every time you do, you help rump FULL STOP.

[watoos]

12. Nope, ratings are secondary.

All of the cable news networks are complicit with airing the corporate right wing narratives.

MSNBC merely puts a left slant to the right wing narrative.

[jalan48]

23. I agree. I wouldn't call corporate news progressive.

[HipChick]

4. Can't listen anymore

To this lunacy
Turned to IDTV

[a kennedy]

8. Really like IDTV......

[riversedge]

6. I am glad Trump is showing the world what a complete FOOL he is.

[gratuitous]

15. The rest of the world doesn't need more evidence

I hope that the millionaire political commentators have at last gotten into the habit of pointing out the chasm between Trump's nonsensical ramblings and reality. They've been dilatory in that obligation for much of this administration's term.

[UniteFightBack]

21. Yes I thought the same thing. Today he was extra flip floppy and I found myself laughing a few

times and scoffing. There has to be some follower out there having the same thought...like WTF is this guy talking about. Also this is recorded here for history...I said in another reply his future kin are going to be so very proud of this legacy of lunacy and corruption.

[riversedge]

24. Any future kin of Trump will ignore the bad.

[Little Star]

7. I refuse to boost any of their ratings!!!

I never stay tuned to any channel that is showing his ass about anything never mind his absurd wall. Ugh!

I have a hard enough time just reading anything about him and his dumb-ass family or supporters.

[UniteFightBack]

22. I know they are counting on this fatigue...but sadly for them it won't happen we are too strong. nt

[rufus dog]

9. Ali called him out on the lies

He immediately said the pResident is lying.

[empedocles]

11. That is the important key - call out the lies immediately

[Control-Z]

13. Is he still yapping?

Good gawd, he was just repeating the same things over and over again when I left the room.

[watoos]

14. Don't fall for the right wing talking point,

that msnbc and cnn are liberal.

Don't make me repost all of the liberal cable news anchors that msnbc fired because they strayed from the right wing narrative, starting with the feud between Tweety and Phil Donahue. Donahue was anti-Iraq invasion and Tweety was for it, Tweety won out.

[Tactical Peek]

19. Actually Matthews was one of few mainstream journalists against invading Iraq.

In his final newspaper column:


Hail and farewell

Chris Matthews Published 4:00 am PDT, Sunday, September 1, 2002

. . . So I'll say it: I hate this war that's coming in Iraq. I don't think we'll be proud of it. Oppose this war because it will create a millennium of hatred and the suicidal terrorism that comes with it. You talk about Bush trying to avenge his father. What about the tens of millions of Arab sons who will want to finish a fight we start next spring in Baghdad?

Well, that's it for now. You know where I stand.

Just saying.

[2naSalit]

16. Well...

Ari Velshi did come on right after the presser and called out the lies and called them lies right there on the screen. So there's that.

[Scruffy1]

17. Listening to crap like this torture.

It should be outlaed by the Geneva convention. Once in a while I forget to turn the sound down on my computer and accidently hear that voice. It's worse than anything I've ever heard including train wrecks and shootings.

[UniteFightBack]

18. They run this because he has no press conferences and now there is no daily briefings.

All I see this as is more rope. More logs for his dumpster fire of a legacy. HOW FUCKING EMBARRASSED will his future kin be?
