Uggh. I tried 30 seconds of Morning Joe BS, 12 minutes in and Joe was all kumbaya with "our opponents" [View all]

talking to Rev. Al Sharpton. After yesterday's Joe & Mika total capitulation after their MLA trip, I'm done.

I likewise saw 30 seconds or so of Ari Melber yesterday sane-washing/normalizing everything talking about Gaetz and that moron Fox host up for DOD as though these were expected kinds of nominations. In that annoyingly, cloying voice while talking about their sexual assault "accusations" while all but chastising those who believed them. Same truly annoying voice and affect he used to interview Joseph Goebbels (er, Stephen Miller).

I know NBC is under assault--especially given who TSF has named for head of the FCC, but OMG. The "talent" are going to single-handedly take down this part of both parts of the network. They are acting like Chuck Todd during his worst period when he just could not get enough of MAGAs on his show and reacted as though they defecated gold.

As if I was not fighting depression and demoralization enough--with everything I and my fellow compatriots in my circle have left...

Well, I just can't assist in the sell-out. My $$ will go to The Guardian and a handful of print and online sites. My access to MSNBC/CNN will be by occasional podcasts or TuneIN radio for programs I know have not totally capitulated to the incoming Fascists.

I refuse to watch their show. Emile Nov 19 #1
Did The Rev push back on Joe, or is he too concerned about no_hypocrisy Nov 19 #2
I only heard enough to recognize they were both going to default to "religious response" to justify the capitulation. hlthe2b Nov 19 #3
Really disappointed in The Rev. no_hypocrisy Nov 19 #7

I'll watch the local news, mostly for the weather. But they're part of the problem too. dem4decades Nov 19 #25
Most local news is run by big media conglomerates. And they clearly prefer to have Republicans in office. Intractable Nov 19 #27
