An open letter to GE/NBC...

Your saturation ad on "Breaking News!" is sickening. You open with Joe Scarborough revealing that Trump is not going to prosecute Hillary Clinton. Even after the Electoral College decision for the loser, Trump, you want to make Hillary look criminal and Trump look kind and merciful. This is deplorable. There is nothing to prosecute. Hillary Clinton committed no crimes. Look elsewhere...

Please get rid of Joe & Mika. They are openly Trump advisors and should not be hosting your morning show. Joy Reid would be an excellent replacement.

You can call the show "Morning Joy".

Thank you. Have a donut...

It works though. People will tune in next time to see what other awful tabloid headline comes up. And again the following day.

It sells ad time.

that apparently have no off button, and no way to change a channel.

Really, why do you watch such stuff?

Joe and Mika, two active Trump enablers, don't deserve our time or energy.

It's a psalm, a film, a novel (2 novels, actually)....why not a tv news show?

...but see the points raised above. I was watching MSNBC this morning for Joy Reid and hearing that "Breaking News" ad... with Joe Scarborough leading with the propaganda line. I thought it would be great to have a "Morning Joy" show instead of "Morning Joe"... and, yes, I have told NBC I don't like them and drift to CNN more and more... I do like to see the news on TV occasionally but know how to turn it off. Thanks for the GE to Comcast correction, Mika!
