Chris Hayes: How GOP Is Using Supreme Court As 'Own Little Supervisory Legislature' - All In - MSNBC



Chris Hayes: Two of the most morally indefensible aspects of the political right during the pandemic are its increasing celebration and embrace of anti-democratic methods, and its nihilistic vaccine skepticism and outright denial. Both of those traits were on full display today. Aired on 01/07/2022.

Right?

Did you think of using your Public voice & influence to drive home the urgency of those Warnings?

Nope. Nary a smidge of attention to the candidate that was literally the only one trying to sound the glaring alarm of what was at stake with our SC.

Ya. I do remember if you don't, Mr Hayes.
Now you're 'concerned'?

What i referred to was his complete lack of addressing the warnings of the loss of the SC.
True that Hillary was the ONLY one that sounded the alarm, repeatedly, addressing that critical fact was for some reason omitted from Media, including Mr Hayes' daily news.

Today we all suck it up & live with the choices of Media messaging.
I have no idea why the SC was a nonissue to our 24/7 Corporate billion $$$ Media.

Perhaps their bottom line would be affected by her committment to expanding & reinstating the Fairness Doctrine & Citizen's United.

Then there's Roe v Wade..devastating backwards erasure of Women's Rights.
So far I have yet to hear a mention of the Media's decision to stay silent on the serious cost of losing the SC.

Not a word of Media's culpability.
What were they amplifying if not this critical matter?

Point being, to hear Media heads now beating their chests over the lean of a RW majority SC is rather infurriating.
They dropped the ball yrs ago without a blink of an eye.
Including Mr Hayes.
