I Hate MSNBC

Chris Matthews in particular. He is having a fun time ripping Tim Kaine and getting the giggles over Donald Trump. He barely mentions all the lies Pence said over and has nothing good to say about Kaine.

They deserve better than Tweety's insider bullshit.

I only had him on for a few minutes because I lost my remote. Following a few moments of panic I found it and changed the channel.

Easy enough. They're just looking for viewership and are hoping their core audience tunes in. They need the money.

Eyes on the screen = advertising dollars
Hits on their website = advertising dollars

They don't care what you think, you're just a commodity they can sell to their advertisers.

satisfactory answer. Why do people torture themselves over Andrea Mitchell & Tweets, and then come to DU to complain about them? If you switch them off, their ratings suffer. And it's okay to let them know you're done with them, and the reason why. But this has become a daily thing with those two.

SWITCH! THEM! OFF!

Fevered imaginings.

Unless we need to end democracy, shoot the pundits and establish a dictatorship.

Which does sum up Trump's ideology. And Republican dreams.

Signing a law that women need to have funerals for their miscarried or aborted fetuses, the anti-lgbt laws etc and Tweety just keep saying yeah yeah yeah like he was trying to shut her up because that dampened his slobbering, literally, over Pence's "solid" performance.

I can't stand him. I don't usually have them on but I left MSNBC on and then there he was.
