If Hillary wins will MSM replace the talking heads?

Like Todd and Mitchell. What biased reporters they are. And they seem to be as willing to twist things as Trump.

As far as I'm concerned, they have no credibility whatsoever.

Watch how they amp up the Clinton Negativity. All of their taking points were perfected during this campaign season. Upside,people are tuning out these twits anyway.

Hallie has been doing an afternoon gig for a few weeks now, and she seems pretty good to me. Katy has done a couple of fill-ins, and wasn't quite as good, but she's shown her toughness by doing the Trump road show for 18 months.

They look like up-and-comers to me.

Accept the people have spoken. Get on the subject of Trump association with Putin and the hacking from Russian sources.

I can't believe how much hot air escapes as the MSM reporters discuss how Trump should be doing things in order to win. They'd rather talk about that loser's chances than anything HRC has done. Mitchell said today that Hillary ran a negative campaign and was trying to end on a high note. What parallel universe was she reporting on?
