And Rachel is a great person

But why watch a show that raises your blood pressure?

TRMS has become the left’s version of Lou Dobbs.

And frankly, Frankly MSNBC stop showing almost non-stop pics of the orange 🍊

I literally stopped MSNBCing a month ago.

ChristianAmanpour is informative and not designed to raise blood pressure. She picks 3ish topics & goes in-depth, shares spotlight with other journalists

Example

Seriously, there’s been nothing new in any of these briefings since they came back. Just Trump attempting to convince people his response hasn’t been inept.

Trump can only hold so much in his little mind and it's full of his agenda of lying and cheating.

If Joe wins, I hope the press only puts the microphone on Joe going forward. We’ve all heard enough from that incompetent carnival barking clown.

They eventually got it figured out a while back. Hopefully MSNBC will also come to realize that airing a daily rehash of the same tired fictitious bullshit is indeed not newsworthy.

I mean, if the shitshow is not newsworthy, and we all know it isn't, why the hell do we get the empty podium shot leading up to it, as if something important is about to happen?

and when he once again said that children don't catch COVID like adults do, MSNBC did a split screen with four newspaper headlines about children and COVID-19, effectively undermining his bullshit.

can anyone else see his handlers saying “DO NOT GET IRRITATED”.....and the minute he feels pressure he just leaves the podium He loves his “on camera” shit of him just blubbering through the first few minutes, but the minute the question and answer part starts his demeanor changes AND this is the part I love, he’ll answer questions, then when they start getting to deep he just leaves the stage.

Just let us know if he ever says anything of importance or integrity. I don't expect to hear much.

All the way back to Sean Spicer, it's been nothing but lies and misdirection. They've all been mouthpieces for the Crime Don in the Oval Office.

I watched the first one and it was so annoying and cringeworthy that I went back to my usual behavior - if Trump comes on, I change the channel.

And if all he is doing is campaigning, the networks and news outlets ought to give Joe equal time.
