“REGULATION” It’s part of what Hillary stands for... Responsible Regulation..

Although Alan might be regretting his DE-Regulation Ways..

...if everyone who spent their time watching cable news, complaining about cable news, and posting about cable news and how much it sucks instead spent that time making calls for candidates, soliciting donations for candidates, or just in general working for candidates, we might actually stand a chance of countering what it was they were doing that was so bad.

Especially since based on ratings, not many people are actually watching it in the first place and those that are, are probably already diehard partisans. So there is no sense spending so much time and energy complaining about something so ineffective and uninfluential when that time would be better spent elsewhere with more productive endeavours.

are not active participating? Is a bit shallow..

It is very apparent that almost all the right wing hatred of Hillary is being driven by the Media.
Where do you think all the haters are getting their false equivalencies from?

Millions of Trump supporters don’t go to his rallies.. They get their lies from someplace..

..is someone complaining about the media.

The fact is that the media is not going away, and this has been going on since the 2000 election if not before that. Nobody is going to change anything by watching and complaining about it on internet forums.

Andrea Mitchell is the wife of Alan Greenspan and a member of the MSM that destroyed Al Gore' presidential bid. She should never have been hired by any TV media group. She is an egoiste,smug littlee bitch who enjoys taking down anyone she can.

I believe it would result in some real changes. Turning of CNN,FAUX, MSNBC etal will not do much. But disconnecting cable TV enmass would send a real message to sponsors and the cable giants. Of course the disconnect orders should be accompanied by emails to all concerned; sponsors, cable companies and the fake news services themselves. Demand that they do 90% real reporting of Who, What, When, Where, Why and How with maybe allowing as much as 10% for editorial and opinion.

...tried to catch Hillary in a lie - about her VP not being told about pneumonia. Of all the questions... really, what else was the point, Andrea Mitchell? What good did your question promote? Your purpose was so obvious, Ms. Mitchell. You wasted everyone's time. You could have asked about an issue where they have had disagreement, if you wanted to be tough and helpful.
Please use your time more wisely.

her MSNBC station telling us that HRC seemed defensive around the questions of Kaine. She was critiquing her own question (which she didn't say was her with the questioning or I don't remember her saying she asked the question) about how HRC "seemed". I watched it and didn't feel this way at all as in defensive.

If Ms. Clinton is befitting of age-based scrutiny so are you, Ms. Mitchell.

Correction. Ms. Mitchell is one year older than Ms. Clinton.
