MSNBC needs to show something bedsdes the NY prison escapes

[irisblue]

4 hrs is enough

[randys1]

1. I just cant believe that....my god

After a week like this...

[Rectangle]

23. It actually makes me yearn for LockUp!! n/t

[RKP5637]

2. Yep! They get fixated, it just drags on and on and on. n/t

[tazkcmo]

3. Distract

Anything but that damned socialist!

[0rganism]

4. don't worry, in about 4 more hours they'll go back to showing prisoners who didn't escape

the weekend lineup at MSNBC is one of the Deep Mysteries

[House of Roberts]

8. Lockup kicks Fox's ass from about 10pm on,

with the prime demographic. I think these young people like to have a few beers or whatever as they stay up late watching those programs.

[0rganism]

10. i've heard that

for me it just adds to the mystery

[TDale313]

11. Disturbingly, it actually gets good ratings.

[Go Vols]

13. I turn it off Friday night

and back on Sunday morning.

I don't care to see how fucked up privatized prisons are,plus the fact we imprison more per capita than any country.

[PRB]

5. Some of the stuff is seedy,

but part of it is a public service. This is really the best way to get the word out about dangerous killers. I'll take this over reality TV and all the other puke ridden nonsense on television. I'd rather sleep safe knowing something is being done. Sure, some of it can be done better, but in the meantime, better safe than sorry. Besides, you can always turn off the TV.

[House of Roberts]

6. Glad I left the TV off this afternoon.

I hope they get their fill by the time All In starts. I want to hear about the Scotus ruling and the expected backlash. I especially want to hear what Rachel says.

[Bernie 2016]

7. You sure it wasn't Lockup?

[AngryAmish]

9. Turn off the tv. Do something useful, like getting drunk.

That is what I am doing.

12. I was afraid this would blow Obama's eulogy off the front page

but if they need something else to cover, how about the black churches that have been burned down in the last few days -- or is that "too local" a story?

...God's Power Church of Christ in Macon, Georgia...had been burned, probably beyond repair. The Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, and Tobacco got called in, which has been the standard procedure for church fires since the late 1960s. Investigators say they’ve ruled out possible causes like an electrical malfunction; most likely, this was arson.

The very same night, many miles away in North Carolina, another church burned: Briar Creek Road Baptist Church, which was set on fire some time around 1 a.m. Investigators have ruled it an act of arson, the AP reports; according to The Charlotte Observer, they haven’t yet determined whether it might be a hate crime.

14. They should put on some prison shows.

[mcar]

15. I could not believe that

Turned it off after Ed. Like other important things didn't happen today?

[targetpractice]

16. I'm sure the hosts are frustrated...

I hope they catch the escapees, but I'd imagine that process is being covered quite thoroughly by local news.

I can't imagine Chris Hayes, Steve Kornacki, and maybe Rachel Maddow are happy about not being able to comment on the other amazing things that happened today.

[avebury]

17. I thought they would be reporting on the Supreme Court ruling.

Oh well Syfy Friday starts at 7 PM (CST).

[Historic NY]

19. Look its the first escape for the place built in 1845....

the NY history blog has dozens of stories about manhunts in the north woods of NY.

[tymorial]

20. This surprises you?

The media makes tremendous profit by sensationalizing tragedy and anything scandalous. In America 90% of all media providers are owned by 6 corporations. The 4th estate is now incorporated.

[FlatBaroque]

21. And do what, explain the effects of the TPP? n/t

[malaise]

22. Ha

Chris Hayes is moving on -PHEW!!

[kelliekat44]

24. i agree. nt
