Please Cnn and MSNBC - no more Trump Surrogates

[Funtatlaguy]

I can't do it anymore.
In this insane campaign of firsts, the level of stupidity, hypocrisy, inanity is just way too much.
Please don't subject us to any more Trump surrogates.
And, if that means no more Hillary surrogates for "balance", I'm fine with that.

It's just not right.
It's just not factual.
It's just not news to have these immoral people on television trying to defend the indefensible.

After this election is over and more and more comes out about the kind of person that Trump is, those that defended him will be shunned in most political and societal circles.

I say do it now.
You don't need these people to fill your 24 hour news cycles.
You have enough "consultants" and what the news biz calls "anchor buddies" on your paid staff to give your anchors people to bounce things off of.
But, no more Trump surrogates. Make a statement that they won't be used any longer.

I just don't have enough windex or bleach to keep cleaning the filth residue off of my tv screen.

3. These networks...

Don't care if what the surrogates say is factual or not. They only care about the ratings, and the absurdity and lies brings ratings. I am sure if the hosts had a say on the matter, most of the shows would be free of these lying surrogates.

ETA: The sad thing is that the better looking of the surrogates will probably have a job at Fox.

4. listen...the more trump and his surrogates talk the more they alienate the voters they need

intelligent college educated white men and women can actually decipher trumps bullshit pretty well.....so let them talk....I just want the show hosts to step up and challenge when they lie

[Funtatlaguy]

5. Other than Joy Reid and Don Lemon,

I can't think of many others that do challenge them.
Wait, Lawrence ODonnell does...but he rarely has them on his show. Most know better than to go on his show.

Anderson Cooper and Wolf are the worst.
They have never asked a follow up question in their lives.
And don't get me started on Andrea Greenspan.

6. I have heard some CNN people get all over trump surrogates, don't remember their names

its becoming more hostile for trump liars now as some of these "journalist" are realizing they are being tarnished by letting the lies go unchallenged now

8. Actually the anchor on after Morning Joe has done a great job

I think her name is Stephanie Ruhle (?) She comes on at 7AM in Denver and I think has done a good job in challenging Trump surrogates (and Clinton surrogates on the few occasions they make questionable talking points). I'm always disappointed that I can't see more than 10 or 15 minutes before I have to leave for work.
