Two fucking hours!

I changed the channel, talked to the husband, then the daughter, fiddled around with the new headphones that came in today, and contemplated whether to cook anything or not.

Two hours later, that fucking propaganda is still going on.

I make sure to turn off the channels that carry this BS because all IT cares about is the ratings (and somehow blame everyone else and try to look like a hero of some sort).

They broadcast hours and hours and hours of Trump campaign rallies.

Now they just won't exercise any editorial discretion and abridge these 'briefings' that are 80 percent (or more) just politics.

Sometimes I really wonder about MSNBC.

Have we learned anything from history regarding leaders who micromanage large war machines and ignore their generals?

Just like the last election. For some reason they continue to let him blabber on and on for free.

I believe that Joe Biden should have the same amount of on-air time.

In private conversations with him, they confirm how great of a job he's doing.

To the press, you know, they end up saying something different.

But if you want to know what they really think, ask Trump.
