Dammit, MSNBC!

[madamesilverspurs]

There we were, listening to Clinton's talk from Pennsylvania. Then you cut in to tell us what she was saying rather than allowing us to continue listening to her directly.

Do you seriously wonder why you lose viewers?

And of course the conversation now turns to Trump.


Once more with feeling: LIBERAL MEDIA MY ASS!




-

[Iggo]

1. LIBERAL MEDIA MY ASS!

Sing it!

[lsewpershad]

10. +

[misterhighwasted]

2. They do this crap all the time.

No wonder CNN had over a million more viewers a night than MSNBC during the Dem Convention.

[63splitwindow]

3. America is overdue for a 24 hour cable NEWS ONLY channel...

interrupted solely by clearly delineated commercials (gotta be profitable if it's gonna happen.)

[Bigredhunk]

19. Yup

That would be great. C-Span'ish news channel with no commentary or call-in crap.

[geomon666]

24. Should've been Al Jazeera America

I miss that channel.

[rurallib]

4. they stuck with Trump's bizarre press conference for what? an hour and a half?

so they had to cut back somewhere.

COMCAST-NBC just following orders

[63splitwindow]

25. The thing about those stream of consciousness insane rambling so-called press conferences...

is that one would rationally think they would convince any truly undecided individual to NOT vote for the raving lunatic.

[LW1977]

5. Sarah Palin is actually half right when she says lamestream media.

But it's because Fox News is the new norm.

[world wide wally]

6. I am taking bets that Trump still has some sort of contract with NBC

[spanone]

7. there is no 'voice' for the democrats/liberals in the media. none whatsoever.

[RapSoDee]

8. Cut the cable. Starve the Beast, Inc. (R)

It will be the smartest thing you ever did. You can stream pretty much any damn thing you want.

Sending a monthly check to the CABLE CABAL companies so they can keep funding toxic republican propaganda like FOX and msnbc - is absolute batshit crazy, and in my view also anti-democratic.

[justhanginon]

9. Bought a cheap used computer and a wireless keyboard and mouse and

hooked it up to my large screen plasma TV and am saving about 1200 bucks a year. With few exceptions, the programming is just, in my opinion, way beyond stupid. It's been two and a half years and that is about 3000 bucks, not exactly chump change.

[RapSoDee]

27. Excellent

[Fritz Walter]

15. Amen, sister/brother!

Especially if your carrier is Bombast, which happens to own NBC and therefore MSNBC.

I cut my cable last September. Never looked back!

It's saving me $100+ per month. And I don't have Faux Noise, Corporate News Network or other channels of info-dysentery invading my home.

Here's a hint: don't call Bombast (or other cable companies) to tell them you're severing your relationship with them. The drones at their call centers are required to talk you out of that decision, and they will try to entice you with financial offers they would not have mentioned under any other circumstances. You will spend at least 30 minutes on the phone telling them to fuck off.

Rather, just unplug your cable boxes and grab your remotes and deliver them to their closest store-front operation in your city. Tell the clerk that you want to cancel your service. No argument, no high-pressure pitch to keep you in their sphere of influence.

Done and done!

[sarcasmo]

23. Right on. I'M using Roku instead of AT&T

Saving money and stream through, Hulu, Netflix and Amazon.

[JI7]

11. cspan

[bekkilyn]

16. +1 (nt)

[angrychair]

12. Enough

We need to demand more from our media.
tRump is a racist, crude, xenophobic moron. We have to demand the media stop excusing his stupidity and stop trying to polish this turd. It has become absurd and embarrassing at this point.
He has verbally attacked and insulted the parents of a marine killed in combat, potentially exposed classified information, condoned and proliferated racist and xenophobic talking points and double-down on it.

[dawg]

13. Wouldn't it be funny if we all wound up watching Fox News?

It probably won't happen, but it would be very ironic if the next generation of Murdochs were to turn their channel into an actual functioning news organization.

[TeamPooka]

26. Ailes gone who knows what will happen?

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Ditch em. All of em. Screw so-called cable "newz".

Any news you need can be found online without the commentary.

Trust me, you wont regret it.

[mdbl]

17. Watched it on PBS, was uninterrupted

I was allowed to thoroughly enjoy that speech without idiots interrupting it with their BS.

[shadowmayor]

18. Fawning Corporate Media

MSNBC spends more time covering tRump than does Fox. In fact, all the other media outlets do so - that's why he gets so much coverage. Let Fox douse their mind numbing BS on their idiot crowd and leave it at that. Why these other channels carry on and on about STFU Donny is beyond me. He's out of his league and doesn't deserve any attention.

Tweety is the worst.

[mgardener]

20. Did you email MSNBC

And let them know? Send them the post you wrote.
We should all let people know in the media when they have let us down.
I didn't watch the program you are complaining about, but I would email them and tell them if I had!
Anybody else watch and want to complain?

[madamesilverspurs]

21. Yep.

Concurrent with their interruptive moment.

Richard Lui was seated behind the desk at the time; to his credit, he looked and spoke as though he wasn't sure why he was there.

[sarcasmo]

22. Free your mind, turn off the talking heads.
