The Media, particularly MSNBC are despicable - Including Hallie Jackson

So to follow up on the bullshit misleading article today they add a new little factoid to drive the narrative. Wait FUCKING LIE.

The meme is Trump is motivating the base with his Hitler rallies, she then dutifully posts a graphic to support the race is tightening meme. It shows Dems up 50 to 47...... in 69 competitive battleground races.

See what they did there? De ms up, so let's lead people to believe that the races are tightening buy taking a subset using only battleground races, races that would mostly be Dem pick ups.

This is just some straight out fucking bullshit lies. The same straight out bullshit that got tRump elected. Ms. Jackson should be disgusted with herself.

So if the polls are 50-47 in those 69.... it implies a Dem gain of about 35 seats.

who posts on here that they boycott MSNBC because of its content.
There are plenty of sites on the internet that will give you undiluted liberal propaganda; MSNBC is a news channel giving objective coverage from a liberal slant.
Like you said, do they want just purposely false narratives that reinforce their political preferences?

She is a shill and not a particularly bright one. Wait for Ali and Stephanie. They are on at 10:00 a.m. PTD

Standard bill of fare for pre-election coverage. They have to get all of us nailed to our seats on election day, chewing on our nails and shaking in our boots.

She didn't sound like a "shill" then. She sounded like a reporter (which she is -- NBC Chief White House Correspondent, to be exact), who was totally fed up with being lied to by POTUS.

Take a look at the the segment at about 4:30 in
