so much publicity. This happened in the 2020 campaign around September the media began showcasing the turnip's moron tribe.

Senate in ‘22 enough that it will off set losses in ‘24. I’m not sure why she would be so dark about ‘24. Biden holds a 62% approval rating. It may drop some, but who’s going to have a chance against him? Seriously



I’m getting so I don’t watch her at all.

I am concerned for our future.

Thing is, as someone wittier than me pointed out it’s gotten to be “rantings for ratings.” All of msnbc and cnn have lost viewers and are dragging up non news worthy frump stuff, what he’s doing that doesn’t amount to anything. It’s so predictable. When the news cycle is upbeat, Biden well received by g7, DOJ intends to intervene in Jim Crow election laws, the WV march on manchin, they turn it back asswards!!

Of course, these are just my opinions..but pretty obvious ones at that

Faith in election integrity? Their constant drum beat of stolen elections helped win us 2 GA senate seats. And they continue to push that narrative. It isn’t going to weaken our desire to vote, but does hurt them.

...they want to hear things that reinforce their personal opinions. When that doesn't happen, they get angry.

11. I unsubscribed and switched off all my msnbc news shows, which was 99% of my news consumption

The only thing I stream on my tv are netflix, prime, Hoopla/Kanopy, and Haytstsack which provides me local news and weather along with national/world news reporting.

The thing that triggered me to take this action, was Rachel's programming. I have been an ardent fan the past few years particularly during the Mueller investigation and all matters related.

But Rachael's pessimism is worse than mine and that's saying a lot. And the dark stories just keep getting darker, I can't take any more of it and made a lifestyle change decision. I do it for my mental health. I keep apprised of a lot of what's been going on politically here, by just skimming headlines. I try to avoid deep dives, although that's easier said than done and I fail miserably sometimes.

I'm sorry that my favorite msnbc hosts ratings depends on dark stories. And its too bad that's what makes it work for Big Cable.

Big, healthy changes need to be made throughout the country, but that has to start with me.
