they go to a Presser or a Campaign Screaming match. XM Seventies works wonders.

And if I'm listening to MSNBC in the car on Sirius radio, I immediately change stations.

For television, I start every show at least 15 minutes after it goes on the air so I can fast forward through trump and any commercials I have grown to hate.

Although, I do replay dog commercials for the entertainment of my pets and my current favorite commercial is for Discover in which a young lady throws her phone across the room after accidentally butt-dialing her ex. There is something so natural about the actress in that ad.

As for trump, I wish the stations could know how much I hate the sound of his voice - and what he says.

I don't watch television anyway, but this is the message they need.

The channel is changed as soon as they put the lunatic on air.

to fact check or explain how he is lying, then I watch. I don't watch him live.

I'd prefer that MSNBC and CNN get a little more variety into their coverage as well. Each show starts to sound redundant sometimes (for obvious reasons).

This kind of thing:

"Can you believe the crazy thing Trump did/tweeted/said? Let's talk about what it means moving forward."
