Almost all the shows on MSNBC today

[lillypaddle]

have had right wing nut jobs on as guests. Please do more than complain here on DU, let them hear from you. Sent a tweet to @msnbc or send them an email.

I'm hoping this isn't a trend for them, but it's weird that Velshi & Rule, Craig Melvin, & Katy Tur have had these idiots on today. There may be more that I've missed.

1. I know...it's as if a memo went out from corporate saying "defer to the Right".

Anybody know if Kabletown has some sort of deal they need FCC approval for?

2. Comcast owned MSNBC will do whatever they think makes money for them. We're just a niche market. n/t

[lillypaddle]

3. This seems to be a new thing

hope it's only today. Regardless, we need to let them know we don't like it and won't continue to watch if it keeps up.

4. The MSM have been corporate-owned for years

They may allow some token liberal coverage, but they're never going to give the GOP the short end of the stick.

[lillypaddle]

7. I watch msnbc just about 24/7

This is the first day I've seen so many right wingers.

20. Maybe it's because of his SOTU speech coming up tomorrow. n/t

5. I think we should clarify that its not their GOPness thats the problem

I don’t mind hearing two sides (or more) of a story or opinion. I just don’t want my time to be wasted with lies and hot air.

You addressed that by specifying “nut jobs” and not “Republicans” but the person at MSNBC who logs the viewer mail might not automatically make that distinction. I’d sure miss Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace and Republicans like them.

9. Thanks

I thought I wasn't being clear. Steve Schmidt, Nicolle Wallace and Michael Steele are some of my favorites - Republicans all.

[renate]

13. You were perfectly clear!!! Sorry if I wasnt!! :)

I had just caught myself writing “Republicans” when I really meant, as you said, “nut jobs.” I actively like hearing from reality-based Republicans, actually. I may not always agree with them but I think it’s nice to hear differing views when everybody involved is being polite and reasonable.

[lillypaddle]

16. I gotcha

You were clear

6. Stop paying to be abused

Stop subscribing to all cable news networks. Let 'em try to survive with just trumpers.

[lillypaddle]

8. What's the matter with you?

That isn't the point of my OP. I like Morning Joe, I like Hallie Jackson, I like Velshi and Ruhl, I like Katy Tur, I like Nicolle Wallace, and so on and so on.

The point is that TODAY has seemed an outlier, at least I was hoping so.

10. I've yet to see a white winger on these shows that didn't confirm my opinion of them.

Point is, put em on and let em talk. They come off sounding like ignorant white wingers that will only sway the same.

[lillypaddle]

11. That's fine for a day

But if I want to hear them, I'll switch over to Faux.

[Hoyt]

12. I like to know what kind of junk they are going to spew. I live in a deep red area, and like

to be prepared for their BS.

But, I get you view too.

[FakeNoose]

14. I think the disaffected Republicans aren't welcome on FAUX News

...and yes I agree that there are far too many of them on MSNBC lately. They should be heard, but not to the extent that it crowds out the Democratic/liberal/progressive commenters.

Maybe put the Cons on Joe Scarborough and keep them there.

15. Last night and today.

It's disgusting and scary.

[lillypaddle]

17. And to top it off

Ali just had the editor at large from Breitbart on, and some guy from the American Enterprise Institute. If this continues, may be time to switch to CNN.

[lagomorph777]

18. I hear you. Been doing that more often lately myself.

19. I haven't watched all day and definitely will not watch tomorrow until Joe Kennedy comes on..n/t
