Note to the wise at MSNBC and CNN. I'm sick of seeing you run video of trump. I turn off, mute,

change the channel or just stop watching you completely for the day. If I wanted to see trump on my tv I would watch fux news. But I don’t, I watch you guys. So knock it the fuck off.

Beto O'Rourke is without having seen him.

Of Trump, which I appreciate. I wish the others would ask whether Trump’s words or actions are truly newsworthy and if so, is it really necessary to show the clip to tell the story.

10. CNN & MSNBC can not prosper without good ratings

They are businesses first. Whatever gets them good ratings will never be purged.
Now the question is does Trump video's give them ratings boost. IDK!

If you want your blood pressure to go down, I suggest you do the same.

Remember, at the end of the day, CNN and MSNBC (and particularly CNN) are not in this for the public interest. They are in it for ratings and advertising revenue.
