The problem with MSM coverage is that they have NORMALIZED so much of his very abnormal behavior.

Of course, my curiosity could be slaked by just watching the nightly news on channels other than MSNBC... but I'm really enjoying MSNBC in the evenings these days

But what are people hearing if they aren't super into politics but just watch the news while they make dinner and then switch to American Idol or whatever? I don't even know anybody who's not into politics, so I have no way of asking.

and there are no opinions there....they are just reporting the bullshit but not going into the full madness.

Do you know how many people I talk to who have no idea what is going on at all? Like zero. But this is going to be so bad that everybody in the country gonna hear about it. EVERYBODY.

Remember,they gave this Slug "in kind Promotional Advertising" for access. We now know this to be true from stories coming out of Sinclair Broadcasting about not challenging any of Trumps statements,but to promote Trump as their savior.

Remember,it was NBC that gave Trump exposure with a Reality TV Show. Think about it.
