Really MSNBC??

You want to interview a candidate? Question them on the facts & quit pandering to them. I thought Scarborough was going to take Trump to the woodshed, but all I heard was another speech on how great Trump believes himself to be. It was not just MSNBC, every news outlet wants the ratings & Trump is why people tune in, to see or hear what the goofball does or says. I am not naive but, I want to hear substance, not the crap he's spewing that is bringing the fear & hate to the forefront. He has never answered any questions directly and then he goes off on one of his tirades. And he says he "hates the media, really Trump? Why are you talk to the media, then?

Joe is a joke leaves many here on the west coast shaking our head because his GOP propaganda is obvious. Also sad, Chris Mathews used to work with Tip Oneil back when politics was real now he just blathers his opinion and I get better things to do that waste my time on useless info.

CNN does better on the middle east too, much more investigative journalists over there.

MSNBC YOU ARE LOSING VEIWERS BEING BACK RACHEL AND KEITH.

Oh wait you are one of the best sources the elite has to control the population never mind, sarcasm off

American people to be afraid, just as they were after 9/11/2001. They're propagandizing and conditioning the American people in order to push for more war in the M.E. What we have already is apparently not big, bloody, and sensational enough for their taste.

I've tuned out MSNBC these days, only returning for the evening lineup, although Chris Hayes is pretty much doing the same thing. He gives waaaay too much time to that bloviating ninny.

Outside Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell, it's Trumping 24/7.

I was waiting for straight answers from Trump & again Scarborough let Trump go off easy. It was an observation more than a thought.

Can you give us a "for instance"? I am not able to envision that scenario.

Now, that would make sense, except it's probably tilting at windmills to think the media is that conscientious, especially when we're talking Joe Scar and a republican.

There would never be anything but puff piece stuff in that scenario.
