Just to confirm; this is the network that wants to depress Democratic turnout, right?

1. Trump Trump Trump has what effect?

Think runup to '16 election. I boycotted Rachel show at the time.

I don't watch daytime TV, so can't give current day examples.

3. That is exactly what was going on last week.

Five minutes at the beginning of each show playing montages of Republican lies in campaign commercials. It was a theme all day Friday, every daytime show led with the commercials for five minutes, then had 30 seconds saying the claims were outrageous, never a response from the candidate that was the target.

So the proper way to handle this is to play a 15 to 30 second clip then allow the response to the lies go on for five minutes.

4. GLAD I missed it (and will continue to do so.)

THIS is station I listen to during the day, until PBS NewsHour: https://weta.org/listen-live

I agree with your proper way to handle, and might have helped things go OTHERWISE in '16.

2. You are aware a network can present facts....

and still be biased.

Lowering the bar and saying they don't suck as bad as FAUX News doesn't cut it.

Nice try, btw, but a huge whiff.

5. I'm also aware that a network can choose what to show, and what not to show.

6. And a President that lies should be called out on each and every network that covers political news

So saying thanks to someone or a network for doing their job is one thing.

Disparaging others on this site who call out the same network for the daily b.s. false equivalency is not saying thanks to the network, it is disparaging others who correctly critique that same network for numerous short comings.
