The MSM Especially MSNBC Is Going Out Of Their Way To Rabble Rouse At The DNC.....

[global1]

they are itching to show unrest and dissension in Philly. They are harping on the DNC e-mails and trying to create a storm - when in my opinion it has blown over a long time ago.

Bottom line I believe if the MSM had their choice as to whom they would like to win the Presidency - it would be Trump. I think they see Trump as their ticket to high viewership over the subsequent 4 years. That's what it's about to them - viewership = money and profits for them.

1. They should have been doing that about a year ago. Bernie supporters have been

Aware of the problem since the start.

2. I don't recall seeing one protest in Cleveland on MSNBC.

I did see them on our local news, though, so I know they happened.

They just showed some peaceful anti-fracking marchers. The are trying so damn hard to create a story where none exists.

3. Yeah, it's boring already. Witt is like a broken record in trying to stoke anything she can.

4. Of course they do

Global strife = more content and viewership = more $$

Just think of how much money the news networks made due to the Iraq War.

5. They didn't get the optics they wanted last week

6. They want a horse race

They saw the mess of a convention the RNC put on. Then Tim Kaine's amazing rollout yesterday. They need this to be a horse race. I ultimately say it doesn't work. They will be onto the next story next week once the convention is over. But this timing pre-convention is ridiculous and they are definitely getting directives to play it up as much as possible.

7. This is a simplistic view of media

The GOP had their shit show, and it was their responsibility. If we have our own shit show, it is also our responsibility.

8. The "problem" is being spun.

Private emails between individuals at the DNC discussing tactics that were never used after Sanders operatives started referring to DNC fundraising as "slush funds".

The DNC should do exactly what the Sanders team did after they were caught stealing data...call for the resignation of the immediate people involved. If it was good enough for the Sanders team, it should be good enough for the DNC.

Rapey Julian must be very happy today: DWS is a tribalist and a woman.

9. I wonder how much cash the Russians are funneling to them to support the PoTrumpkin Candidate?

10. Maybe I'm just a cockeyed optimist, but...

...I think their stirring up controversy may be a blessing in disguise, at least in terms of getting eyeballs on the convention to hear our party's message and hearing our candidates speak.

The story coming out of the RNC was that, by comparison, the DNC will be SO BORING (i.e., not worth watching). So a few hints of dissension and a few peaceful protests will perhaps get a few more viewers tuning in to see if all hell breaks loose. Of course it won't, but don't tell anyone.

11. Totally Agree

Msnbc lost me last week, cnn may soon follow. So sick of it. If I wanted to hear constant rethug favoritism & Hillary bashing, faux news would be my network of choice.

12. I agree. They want stories to work with
