Cable news is owned and managed by people on the right. Vanguard and BlackRock are the major shareholders of MSNBC.

I do watch Nicolle, Chris, and Rachel on msnbc but nobody else. I listen to Sirius radio, to Thomm Hartmann, and Zerlina Maxwell, and Stephanie Miller. There are reliable social media sites like DU.

Nicolle is a republican as is Morning Joe. And I have heard stuff on msnbc that i did not like also.

Nicolle has even publicly apologized for being fooled by the then Republicans.

In general msnbc pushes the right wing narrative, it may put a leftist slant to it but it still pushes it. That's why I only watch 3 anchors.

Last week I did have msnbc on it the morning when I was riding my bike and an anchor asked her guest... since president Biden has little to show for his first year in office...and then she asked the question. I quickly changed the station to music.

With all the great wise voices of the Democratic Party they have to choose from to speak to America, CNN reached in & dredged up RW Sen McConnell.

Corporate Media Profiteers refuse to amplify the Democratic Voices.

These media corps are too both sides. They can show a better profit if they increase the violent disagreements in our country, shame on them.

They should talk about the 50 republicans who oppose those bills.

No one seems willing to blame 50 Republicans when they can attack two Democrats.

Our “side” is America, and the truth. Conservatives seem to have forgotten this message.
