These fucking talking heads never once warned Republicans

[boston bean]

Of the danger of investigating and not legislating even as they fucking investigated Obama and Hillary for 8 fucking years non stop and continued to this very day.

Damn these people always looking to handcuff the Democrats, while Republicans burn the effing house down.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

1. It's infuriating

I wish that the MSM would stop broadcasting "advice" from Republicans to Democrats. It's insulting hearing "advice" from people whom belong to a party that's got their own stuff to clean up/fix.

[True Blue American]

5. CNN seems to be the worst.

16. They all push the right wing narrative,

some cable news networks merely put a progressive slant to it.

[SharonAnn]

25. They want their media monopolies and the money from it. Dems might threaten that.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Another Thing That Wasn't Done

The dems that were losing their majority didn't warn Rs about what they should and shouldn't do.

But, it's pretty popular right now for the Rs to tell dems that very thing.

[BadgerMom]

18. Republicans are old wealthy, white men.

Believing they are superior and have great wisdom to share with us all is, unfortunately, something seemingly in their DNA. (Apologies to all of you out there who break this mold, men like my husband, brother, sons-in-law, nephews.) That the Republicans want to do this is a given. That the media indulges them is what’s reprehensible to me.

[spanone]

3. yep, I hear them 'cautioning' the democrats.......

they can shove that talk directly up their asses.

republicans investigated Hillary until they locked the door, otherwise they would have investigated her over the Christmas holidays

...fuck the media

[certainot]

31. "that's what limbaugh says, but..." needs to be a common response to the RWBS

[Cosmocat]

4. Rinse and repeat

The media is so brainwashed/programmed.

Always use republican frames to prop up republican (the feckless son of privilege was the guy you would like to have a beer with), and negatively frame the democrat/liberals (the competent, accomplished public servant was "arrogant&quot .

Republicans go into power - PERMANENT REPUBLICAN MAJORITY, MANDATE! NEVER, NEVER, NEVER hear calls for bi-partisanship, and any opposition to the horrible shit they do is PARTISAN.

Democrats go into power - Gotta be careful to not overplay your hand! Universal calls for bi-partisanship and endless urges to reach out to the sainted "middle america."

[UrbanProspector]

8. All correct except

for the fact that the media needs a captive willing audience to be profitable for the owners, who just happen to be 4 or 5 of the most evil RWNJ on the planet!. If the consumer were to suddenly stop consuming their products and services and demand a "real" progressive alternative to their corporate owned propaganda, you might see slight change. I really don't see the average media consumer changing their 24/7 news cycle habits in the near future, therein lies the true problem with society today.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

11. Yup

It's maddening

[watoos]

17. The M$M is complicit, not brainwashed.

[byronius]

6. But Republicans are the patriotic god-people, while Democrats are lazy dirty hippies.

It's why conservatives are 'allowed' to lie, cheat, steal, murder, sell out the nation and betray everything it stands for.

Becasue they're the 'good' people.

The percentage of Stupid is strong with us, and the Pirates lie too well.

Let's hope we don't have to pay the traditional price.

[dlk]

7. There is Definitely a Double Standard in the M$M

[SharonAnn]

26. They want their monopolies and their money. Dems threaten that.

[FakeNoose]

9. I'm reading "Dark Money" by Jane Mayer

It was Charles and David Koch and a secret network of extremely wealthy Americans who got together in 2009 when Obama was inaugurated. They made plans to destroy his Presidency and his career by using their incredible wealth to "buy" Congress and shut down as much of the government as they could. Of course it eventually led us to Trump but I'm still in the 2009/10 years where they're planning the conspiracy.

This book is terrifying, and it's something every American should read.

[mtngirl47]

21. I can only read a chapter at a time before I start screaming!

It is terrifying and I can't see a way out of it all...As I read I sometimes think--oh my god, the rich bastards have brain-washed this country by taking over the narrative.

[Takket]

10. We can walk and chew gum just fine.

[Hamlette]

12. I think they do it because they are on our side

I'd never warn Republicans if they were doing something that was hurting their party. And I find my self hoping Dems don't do something stupid. I'd tell them too if I were a pooh bah or knew any pooh bahs.

[ecstatic]

13. Democrats always get lectures from the MSM about what needs

to be our focus, etc. The double standard is so glaring. They don't even think to dictate what rethugs like McConnell and Ryan "better do" to stay in power.

I was thinking about this pattern after the election and I'm wondering if it's because many talking heads are democrats who inadvertently inject their 2cents and worries into the conversation? That could potentially explain why they don't have similar advice and demands when it comes to rethugs in power.

[watoos]

19. We need Democrats who can change the narrative,

Al Franken was one, Ted Kennedy, Beto and AOC can do it, even Avenatti changed the narrative.

Give me 1,000 Auntie Maxines over 1 __________, you fill in the blank, I won't speak ill of any Democrat.

There were people on msnbc who were changing the narrative; K. Olbermann, Ed Schultz, Martin Brashear, Dylan Ratigan. They all were popular when msnbc fired them.

[IronLionZion]

14. GOP doesn't care about warnings of dangers

They don't do much of anything that's useful anyway, just obstruct.

Dems will manage to investigate and legislate. GOP will obstruct as much as they can and Trump will veto it.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. turn 'em off, unsubscribe, tell them why

Stop paying tv. Tell the advertisers why you stopped.

'Bothsideism' won't stop until you stop paying them to do it.

[watoos]

20. Where are you going to go?

Stay on DU and other progressive internet sites? Sirius radio has progressive narratives on certain stations.

The right controls the M$M, if they didn't Trump would be impeached by now.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. real news rarely comes from tv

TV fits everything in between commercials and thus presents mere snippets of sensationalism. Most 'cable' news follows the same pattern as broadcast. There are few tv programs that try to give any background or context.

Online, you have Washington Post, NYT, Vox, Motherjones, democracynow.org, The Atlantic, The Guardian, independent.co.uk, NY Daily News, Buzzfeed, GQ, NY Mag, Newsweek, Wired, Slate, and lots and lots of regional 'papers'.

TV gives you video; if it's used to promote controversy, it's not helpful and should not be sustained by your dollars.

[EleanorR]

23. It's because Democrats are always expected to be the grownups in the room

We're held to a higher standard because it is expected that republicans will not compromise, will use dirty tactics, will cheat, will lie, and will put party loyalty above all else.

The Benghazi Committee took what, a year and a half? Millions of dollars spent, Wednesday Wine Club, engraved glasses, talk of forming a gun club. That is who the republicans are.

[Cha]

24. Yeah, I read cnn had nina turner on Warning

Dems about the same thing.. like any Dem in the House cares what she thinks.

she was always telling to leave Russia alone.

[Blue Owl]

27. Fake news liberal media MY ASS

Makes me sick how the GOP always gets a free pass...

[kwijybo]

30. When the R's are in power

The excuse for having a large majority of R's on the news shows is, "They have the power".

When the D's are in power, the excuse for having a majority of R's on the news shows is, "the other side must be heard"

[Prof.Higgins]

28. MSNBC's sharp evening analysts are solid progressives. Rest of day.... not so much. n/t

[uponit7771]

29. +1, the day time are trying to hide their group think basically repeating what KGOP wants

[TygrBright]

32. Yep. But they'll GOPsplain everything to Democrats 'till they're blue in the face. n/t

[watoos]

33. It's easy to find the right wing narrative.

Flip channels and look for similar words and phrases. The narrative now is Dems are going to “overreach.” That narrative is of course bs.
Dems have a lot of catching up to do to expose all of the treasonous Republicans.
We need more Auntie Maxines not less.

[Generic Brad]

34. The Republicans have a major tell

If they accuse a Democrat of something, you can bet your bottom dollar that it is a Republican who is the one actually doing it. By proactively accusing your opponent of doing something you are guilty of, it makes it appear you are being retaliated against if the truth comes out.

If they give advice to Democrats, it is the opposite of what should be done and reveals their insecurities and fears.
