I don't understand the masochism. I keep seeing these threads about

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

MSNBC, CNN etc etc. Why not just stop watching that altogether? I don't just mean now. I mean completely. If people keep watching that garbage it'll only encourage them. To each his/her own and all that. But I guess I don't get it.

1. I agree. Folks complain about cable news but, yet, keep watching

They have no one else to blame but themselves.

2. I've been watching via Facebook Live and via the Youtube live feed, bypassing commentators

3. I quit watching network news years ago and have not missed it a bit.

The idiotic bloviating on CNN, NBC, ABC and the rest is a waste of time and attention.

6. Me, too. It was the 2004 election that did it for me.

My bullshit quota got saturated, and then some.

4. Because the alternate is actually doing something that matters....

The people that watch and post about cable news endlessly are under the impression that they are actually doing something that helps anything and that they are providing a service.

They are not. They are literally just as much armchair warriors as those on the right. No, they are not "keeping track of what the enemy is doing or saying". Thanks for your service, but I can know what "the enemy" is doing just by opening up a window browser.

7. MSNBC was great tonight

I agrees with their Rachel wondering why Panetta was booed, I agreed with their praising of Obama's speech the "passing the baton." They commented that while many bashed Trump the person, Obama bashed "Trumptesim."

And I think that Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace are having much better time covering the DNC than the RNC (if they did).
