Media Choices?

Is CNN becoming a better progressive Democratic news source than M$NBC? I gotta tell ya, I'm getting pretty sick and tired of the ever increasing list of Hillary haters, concern trolls, and conservative idiots filling the chairs over at M$NBC.

That grinning idiot is such a turnoff. Literally, every time I see his face I turn off M$NBC.

He'd annoy the fuck out of me if he was a Dem. I just can't stand his persona on any level. That he is a knuckle dragging RW fanatic turns it up another notch.

Seems like every day we are seeing more and more folks who hate Hillary and now Kane both from the extreme right and the extreme left. As long as you hate the Democratic ticket - you'll get FaceTime on M$NBC.

Chris Cuomo is kinda kick-ass with his interviewing style although I do turn down the sound when Corey Lewendowski speaks.

I watch MSNBC only for Rachel, AM Joy and occasionally Lawrence.

MSNBC just got too disappointing. LEAN FORWARD? Yeah, right....

"Lean Goldwater" seems like an outdated expression, not sure how it correlates with MSNBC.

But definitely Lean Right, not Lean Forward anymore...

The prototype for the whole teabagger revolution. Maybe I should have said "Lean Reich."

But it's certainly no longer the media outlet that presents mostly progressive voices. Used to be it was the antidote to Fox. Now it has too many moments of Fox Light.
