Its official the Repuke talking point is

[INdemo]

"Are the Democrats going too far" Are they pushing to hard" Will they regret this later" "Will the voters make them pay" and will this come back to haunt them...

Now this is what I heard today as I caught bits and pieces of MSNBC hosts reading their scripts and allowing Republican pundits to repeat this theme.
So the corporate mafia media has the talking point scripts out there and obviously the hosts better read it right or it could cost them their job.
I'm still quite surprised how Joy Reid harped on and on about Elizabeth Warren Native American issue...and then she went on to something I thought was dead in the water and brought up a negative comment about Amy Klobuchar
So has Joy joined the ranks of Chuck Todd,Tweetie and Alex?

1. The more progressive a candidate the more attacks by corporate media.

6. I didn't see *any* evidence of that in 2015-2016.

I saw a Democrat with a roster of progressive policies open and available online being attacked while the 'progressive' was handled with kid gloves.

That's how we got tRUmp.

8. This is true.

2. Chuckie Toad is the

NBC Political Advisor or go to Guy. Comcast Media which owns NBC/MSNBC/CNBC is not Liberal what so ever. Google their ownership and you wonder how they keep Maddow,O'Donnell as well as Hayes on the air.

Bottom line,it is Ad revs and the Three a fore mentioned generate some of the highest Ad revs on Cable TV.

3. Exactly.

Follow the money.

7. I knew they owned NBC but I didnt think hosts like Joy Reid would be so

negative about Democratic Candidates but then its obvious she has her favorites.
I actually watch Rachel and on occasion I watch the Chris Hayes show and I sometimes fall asleep watching the 11 o'clock show Brian Williams who is not too bad.

anyway if its this dirt slinking this early I expect we are in for a hell-of-a-fight.

9. Know of what you are saying.

I to bitch at a fellow down the street who works at the Local Sinclair affiliate of NBC. He is a camera man and being a bleeding heart Lib like myself,he too cringes each and everyday about the News Director and how the Copy People are instructed to slant their scripts to the right,he calls it far right,don't know,do not watch anything Sinclair,so bottom line is,if you want a paycheck,you read your Teleprompter and hope like hell you have a job tomorrow.

TV is all about numbers and who signs your paychecks. And for the most part,that industry is owned by very conservative Corporations.

4. I've heard this bullshit on just about every channel on my tee vee

Think about it. Lindsey Graham just opened another investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails...where's the fucking outrage?

5. I could not agree more with your observations about MSNBC.

+1000

Corporate, fascist media is all they are. If they weren't worried about their ratings they would probably drop their 8-11 PM weeknight shows too.

They are making me want to throw up pretty regularly these days.

We need our own cable news network.
