Just frickin STOP covering his daily shitshow already!

It's not good enough MSNBC to only cut him off after he's spent 10 minutes vomiting bullshit out of his face rectum.

When Joe Biden is President and the Dems are in power, I hope they fine MSNBC and the other networks $1 Billion dollars for every fucking free minute of campaign infomercials they have broadcast for this fucking circus clown.

If the media were a teacher, they'd be fired for malpractice.

7. The reporter asks a question, & then their mic is turned down to stop follow-up questions to allow

him to control the narrative. That's why reporters have had to resort to shouting follow-ups, & then Bunker Boy calls them nasty for shouting.

and I really shouldn't care about it.

That's what you are saying when you say; "you don't have to watch"

I guess if I just turn off the TV, he's not spewing bullshit to millions of people.

The Government has no regulatory authority over the content of cable channels, nor should they.

The government seems to file lawsuits all the time to try to block things from being broadcast. I don't think a cable network could broadcast the nuclear codes if they had them.

At one point, we had a fairness doctrine at one time, and we didn't have a ridiculous wingnut Monopoly on AM radio.

There have to be some standards. In the grand scheme of things, these airways belong to the American people.

There are standards and requirements that they serve the interest of the people.

His daily shitshows are NOT newsworthy, or imfomative. They're either an in-kind campaign donation, an infomercial, or the rantings of a sundowning man having a psychotic break.

I'm OK if they show these, as long as they immediately go to Speaker Pelosi, or another Dem for a response.

He can surely hold a campaign rally every day if he wants to. It doesn't need to be broadcast.

Trump threatens many things, but hasn't actually blocked any publications.

The fitness doctrine applied to broadcast TV and Radio, and was legal only because the Govt leased the broadcast frequencies.

There have to be some standards. In the grand scheme of things, these airways belong to the American people.

"Congress shall make no Law respecting the Freedom of Speech"

There are standards and requirements that they serve the interest of the people.

Who gets to decide what those standards are. Can conservatives apply their own?..

When President Biden is making a statement, do people who disagree with you get to decide that it's NOT newsworthy?

I'm OK if they show these, as long as they immediately go to Speaker Pelosi, or another Dem for a response.

You're entitled to demand what you want and not watch any channel that doesn't provide it.

He can surely hold a campaign rally every day if he wants to. It doesn't need to be broadcast.

Perhaps you should enter the cable news field and reach a level of authority to decide what SHOULD be covered.
