MSNBC is airing wall to wall, live coverage for endorsements of Trump.

[merrily]

I don't watch MSNBC all the time, but I've now seen extended, live coverage of Palin endorsing Trump, of Carson endorsing Trump and now of Christie endorsing Trump. Are you kidding me? And, now, they're discussing Trump.

Seriously? These are our choices for political coverage as a great nation, CNN, FOX and TrumpNBC?

Fascism, here we come!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. Did Trump just f*cking BUY MSNBC?

He might as well have.

[merrily]

6. Why would he need to buy it? It's Trump Infommercial Central (TIC) as it is.

[TreasonousBastard]

2. Well, the good news is that hardly anyone watches it.

[merrily]

7. LOL! True enough.

[agnostic102]

3. lol

Guys its not as bad as you think. Morning joe who has been kissing trumps ass all year just said that trump planned the chicago unrest. Trust me there will be far more anti-trump things then for. You want to see ass kissing? watch hannity on fox.. that guy has never said ONE negative thing about trump.

[merrily]

8. But Joe probably thinks planning something like that is brilliant.

[oioioi]

4. Television, the Drug of the Nation....

[merrily]

10. TV Madness!

[Wellstone ruled]

5. It has become blarring

how Comcast and Fake Noise are all in with Trump. MSNBC=Oligarch Network.

[merrily]

11. Indeed

[Wellstone ruled]

12. As a Wall Street Junkie,

we have the Bloomberg on daily,noticed the on Air Talent never call Trump to task even after their Feurer said he would not run for office. But,they love to run pieces from ABC and Comcast owned media outlets,as breaking news.

[merrily]

13. Two Manhattan billionaires must run into each other often.

Restaurants, theater, etc. It could get awkward, and what's the point of having billions and an awkward social life?

THINK, man.

[Wellstone ruled]

15. Pretty glarring what is happening.

It is all about wealth and status,and anything else,be damned. My Spouse and I have a Friend who is a Dem Staffer in D.C.,some fifty plus years,and he has always referred to the D.C. Cocktail Circuit. If you are not in the Circuit,forget it,you will go know were in your Political Career. Waiting for him to self publish his memoirs,that is going to be a hoot. And BTW,the Circuit will never speak ill of it's members.

[merrily]

21. I usually have TV on in the background while I work (or post, while pretending to work).

This morning, it was Steve Harvey, doing one of his regular shows from Flint.

He said, "This is not race war, it's class war. I see black out here; I see white; I see Hispanic. It's class warfare."

I get that there are racial issues from which even wealthy people of color suffer. I do. But, on the billionaire rung of the ladder, where people have their own bodyguards, live in the most secure housing imaginable, and have chaffeurs, they are not coveting your race or your color or your ability to get an abortion within a reasonable distance from your home. They only want to make sure they don't have to contribute any of their precious to your damn Social Security, no matter which race you or they are.

That doesn't mean we don't address both class warfare and race warfare. But we do need to address both. And diddling with the minimum wage, while also needed, is not the whole answer.

[Wellstone ruled]

22. Agree with your thread 1000%.

These folks are so out of touch. I still remember my job interview with 3M in 1962,Mr. McKinght was CEO,and he had the final for R&D Lab Rats. And this fellow made a couple statements that I always remember to this day. One,there will always be unemployment. Two,when you do not know what the price of a loaf of bread is,then you have reached financial security and he was proud of the fact that his Cook did all the shopping for his family.

[merrily]

23. You need a minimum of a million dollars to run for Congress, if you want

any DNC backing at all. And mostly men are in office.

How many of our officeholders do you guess know the price of a loaf of bread or a quart of milk?

[Wellstone ruled]

24. Not very many.

And the ones that do are Dems.

[avebury]

9. I went to basic cable (local channels) a few months ago.

I don't miss the "news" networks at all. MSM has become nothing more than propaganda machines and why on earth should people pay for the MSM's attempts to brainwash the masses? The masses need to start turning these networks off and denying them an audience.

[Else You Are Mad]

18. Exactly!

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. We are there

and one person will not stop this. We have a whole apparatus in place already and have been living under inverted totalitarianism for some time.

[merrily]

17. That's a darker view than even mine, Nadin, but I won't argue:

Every time I am SURE that, this time, I just cannot get more cynical, I learn that I can.

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. I know

[Else You Are Mad]

16. Can we please...

Finally I think we can put the mainstream media is the 'liberal media' lie to rest?! The cable networks aren't even pretending anymore that they aren't cheerleaders for the GOP.

[merrily]

19. My reading indicates that the liberal media lie originated because, after

March 7, 1965 (aka, Bloody Sunday-Selma), the media actually, finally, started covering the brutality being inflicted on African Americans who were fighting for their basic rights.

Until then, they had turned their cameras away.

Imagine: media bringing some measure of truth about extreme racism to Americans, instead of participating in centuries of cover up, caused media to be labeled as "liberal."

[Egnever]

25. And people say MSNBC is not liberal

Trump would be a gift to Democrats should he get the nomination.

Thank you thank you msnbc

[elljay]

28. Maybe, but maybe not

The other Republicans have all agreed to fall into line behind Trump if he is the nominee and the oligarchs with their deep pockets will be right there with them. They all know that without the Supreme Court, their plans to dominate from a minority position will start to crumble. This is too important an election for them to sit on the sidelines so they will be out there bombarding us non-stop with propaganda. The attention span of the average American being what it is, many will have forgotten the primaries by the time the election comes round. I would be lying if I said I weren't scared.

[Egnever]

32. .

The Republicans already had no shot before trump just because of the demographics. Anyone telling you different is selling a horse race for ratings.

Trump will lose in a landslide bank on it.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

26. If the voters stay home on election day, we will have President Trump.

Be prepared for his using our military as his own personal revenge machine, bombing anyone who criticizes him.

[Peregrine Took]

27. 'Used to be a regular watcher - now I'm CNN all the time.

except for Lawrence who needs to leave that rat hole network.

[backscatter712]

29. Cut the cord.

I switched to internet-only a couple of years ago, haven't looked back.

Cable "news" is garbage. As is just about everything else on TV these days.

[merrily]

30. What does that solve?

[backscatter712]

31. At least you're depriving the propagandists of your money and eyeballs. n/t

[merrily]

33. What does that solve?
