I havent watched any cable news for a year. For some reason I put in msnbc on way to shower. Some talking head (Navarro?) saying the budget impasse will turn off voters which will hurt democrats because voters will stay home in disgust in 2020. How the hell does she know whats going to happen almost 2 years from now? I wish i had a job where i could spout bullshit without any accountability or factuality.
Out of the shower and shes still there with some other idiots blathering about Schultz. F that oligarch and F them for giving him free air time.
What a mistake in my part but a reminder of why i stooped watching. Cable news is propaganda.

If there is a really huge embarrassing story for Trump that day, then Nicole Wallace's show at 4 PM is watchable, but only on those days.
CNN is a dumpster fire.

(3,131 posts)Now i get my news online. I love my Washington Post subscription. When i watched it was always through dvr so i could skip commercials.
I get my gossip and chatter here and a couple of other places. That also lets me know when some news actually squeaks through and gets aired.

Nicole gives me hope that there are a lot more moderate conservatives out there who have given up on the party altogether.
They are the only 2 daytime programs I like. Prime time I agree with you. Though Chris isn't "must see" like Rachel.

(33,643 posts)but the handful of MSNBC late night hosts like Lawrence and Rachel with ANY regularity.
Toad's interview questions consisted pretty much entirely of:
1) Yeah, but aren't you wrong because ...
2) Some say what you're doing is a mistake because ...
3) Won't people say you're crossing the line because...
4) Shouldn't you wait for Mueller because ...
5) Yah but isn't that Mueller's job because ...
BLAH BLAH BLAH. F-YOU TOAD. All you did was sit there and argue to 'lay off trump' for 7 minutes.
Anyone who thinks the TV MSM is 'liberal' ... is blind. We have a FEW TOKEN liberals like Lawrence and Rachel. That's about it.

(86,561 posts)Sometimes I check out PBS NewsHour too. They seem pretty limited in their scope of late. I think the corporate contributions are the reason fro that.

(3,131 posts)I like Amy Goodmans style. There are a lot of investigations in the house. Can you talk about that? And some how she manages to jeep the occasional bs reply short enough to follow up. I should listen to Democracy Now more often.

(3,131 posts)His only qualification for presidency and only reason he gets airtime is he is a billionaire. And he objects to be being called a billionaire because reasons.
Maybe wannabe oligarch is better.
