MSNBC Gives Trump a FREE 25 Minute Commercial-and-Love Fest -- All Rolled Into One!




Sounds like the Morning Joe team thinks Trump is just the type of guy you want to sit down and have a bowl of cereal and a beer with... and would just LOVE to have his collective baby

For weeks, all you could hear about on the M$M was about Hillary and Trump.

And no mention of Bernie. Then in the last few weeks, with his getting better polling numbers than Hillary, the media says "Well, since Mr Sanders is out polling Hillary, we should get Biden involved in the race!" Just where is the logic in that? If Bernie is out polling Hillary, then we should start hearing about Bernie, shouldn't we?:

But no - their answer to Bernie's popularity is to trot out Biden.
Totally screwed up situation.

But this is the nation of the Big Lie, and all the M$M people have to do is repeat something until it is accepted logic, no matter how illogical a statement they make.

And Trump is on every mainstream channel, at all hours of the day. Trump this, Trump that.

has to have sway over the Main$tream Media.

Look at how Kerry lost to Bush the Younger, the morning after the election, simply because Andy Card was called by the media, and he stated that George W had won.

And then anyone who even debated the wisdom of Bush not winning was dissed in the press to the point of ridicule.

I was a member of Black Box Voting, examining the situation inside Marin County's election district that night. At around 9Pm or so Calif time, Kerry was winning big Time. One hour and a half later, his numbers had mysteriously crashed, and the networks insisting the most important aspect of any election is to assure the electorate quickly of who the winner happens to be.

So Andy Card got to proclaim Bush the winner at around 2:30 that morning.

as the WHITE NATIONALIST PARTY aka NAZI leader. And as soon as MSNBC or CNN mentions TRUMP I turn the channel. Even when my local news does it, I change the channel.

It's almost as though the entire network has become at least 50% Trump infommercial. As the publicists say, "I don't care what you say about me, as long as you spell my name right."

Also, as time passes, what they say about him is more and more in the realm of admiration and enabling. I did a post the other day about how Chris Hayes was marveling at Trump, allowing as how Carson couldn't beat Hillary, etc. http://www.democraticunderground.com/128046511 He waxed almost as orgasmic as Scarborough.

Seems as though they get more transparent every go round.

got rid of Schultz kicked Sharpton downstairs? Or when they went all Republican, all day, starting from Imus in the Morning?

Sure, Comcast sucks, but so does all conglomerate ownership of our "news" media. Our safeguards against control of the information we got were anti-monopoly laws and regulations and FCC laws and regulations that have been gutted under both Republican and Democratic Presidents.

I tried my best to listen to the interview. Mrs. Greenspan spent the first half of the interview on the Emails,over and over again. Even dragging out the line she used on Bernie that a poll showed the first word they thought of about Hillary. That liar came to mind.

Even though Bernie cut Andrea short she pulled it out again,asking if that bothered her.

What an ignorant little so called Journalist Andrea is.

After traveling with Hillary all over the world I have yet to hear her say one nice word about Hillary.

Scarborough is totally unwatchable. Matter of fact not much to watch on all cable," News."
