To add insult to injury it's always the same lame story, "Why they're sticking with the president." Then cue up several interviews in which morons give the stupidest reasons possible for why they continue to support Trump.

And it was proven true again this morning on every friggin Newsy Panel discussion.

When one or two Networks use Fox News as a Story line,good gravy.

I don't give a damn what those brain-dead booger-eaters think. Anyone who voted for MF45 can't be trusted for anything, so why keep talking to them?

There are probably 2 reasons.
1) They are ordered to do it because the "librul media" has to show their side
and
2) A Clinton voter is likely to understand the "librul media" played a big part in foisting MF45 and his criminal family onto America. A Clinton voter is also likely to say so on the air and point out media hypocrisy.

So they will keep having nice safe interviews with the knuckledraggers, rather than interview someone who actually knows what they are talking about.

to Trump supporters. If they are still supporting Trump I doubt they can be reached.

do I hear ANYONE say that in order to win the GOP has to reach out to Clinton supporters.

It's as if we don't even exist.

Frustrating in the extreme.

I have tried and I can say only this,

They can smell the Liberal Democracy on you. And they will hate you on sight. Anything you say will be reviled and discounted.
You will find no purchase and no common ground.
Love doesn't work. Acceptance doesn't work. Open-hearted listening doesn't work.
I don't know what all kind of crazy shit Russia invented to use on its own people, but the brainwashing of the soft-minded here was swift and complete.

well below average on every measurable level, it’s ridiculous to ask them anything.

aka Cletus Safari.

It's infuriatiang!

Or to discuss ideas about how to deprogram the cult... or to rant, rant, rant about what Trump and the GOP is DOING to the average American.. OR to keep pointing out that the GOP congressmen have no morals or American values for going along with such an immoral, corrupt, traitorous man,

quite the opposite as it alienates an audience that advertisers want to sell their shit to.

advertisers want to sell their products. They don't care who their customers voted for. However poking fun at 40% of their customers isn't the path to selling more products.

I think it has more to do with the right wing bias of most owners of media. And also, and this may sound harsh, the possibility that many in charge of what gets distribution (and what doesn't) are about as misogynist (and racist) in their heart of hearts as Trump.

Remember the chair of CBS who talked about how great Trump was for the company? Surprise surprise--he turns out to be a serial sexual harasser.

An unspoken truth, but possibly a truth nonetheless.

From a profit standpoint.

and we all know that no one can please everyone.

Corporations tend to avoid poking their customers in the eye. Why? Because they like money.

and Clinton supporters in particular.

And I imagine most rabid Trump supporters stick to Fox anyway.

They still back Trump.

The so called MSM has become a Trump cess pool. They bring on pundits to tell what is going on, then bring on the opposite to spead the bs. Not worth watching.

they were from Indiana. I remember working in Indiana one summer and was amazed to see a guy on a public service TV station hosting a weekly talk show dressed in a Nazi uniform. I'm sure those supporters were probably fans of that show and ex governor Pence too.

If Hillary had won, the media would be seeking out the average Clinton voter.

But that didn't happen. SO the media doesn't seek out the average Clinton voter for the same reason they don't seek out the average Romney, McCaine, Gore or Dole voter.

I wish folks would realize that the media does have an agenda. To draw advertisers and make money for their stockholders. They aren't in it for politics - it just seems that way.

Now if Hillary decides to run again in 2020, the media will be interviewing Hillary voters like crazy.

"If Hillary had won, the media would be seeking out the average Clinton voter. "

They'd still be going after every Trump voter and their "BUTTER EMAILS!!!" screeds.

But I think it's fair to say that the media is usually interested in interviewing folks who voted for the current president (of any party), if anything to get a read on how they might act in the next election. This is especially true when their is a crisis underway.

And I can't think of time in history when 4 years went by without some sort of crisis.

during the whole Tea Party nonsense. Quite the opposite, in fact--the Tea Partiers were given wall to wall coverage while Obama voters, in my recollection, were by and large ignored.

Just my recollection, you understand.

My memory is that the media is always doing pulse checks on how the public feels the about the current President. Especially those they voted for him.

It may just be that it feels "normal" when they ask about someone you support, but painful when they are asking folks about people you don't support.

..... WE are the ones who read, and who have curiosity about others. They don't. Writing a news story to explain us to ourselves wouldn't be very interesting.

It still infuriates me, though. It's like these clowns are being rewarded for their intellectual laziness and lack of empathy.

Thanks for the reply, though.

the never have talked to lefts .

Fuck them all! THEY. Are the reason we’ve all gone to bed at night worrying whether we will start a war with North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, etc for the past two years.

THEY are the reason we are stuck with the most embarrassing, deplorable dirt mouthed scumbag as the representative of our nation to the rest of the world.

THEY are the reason we are forced to live with a bloviating, ignorant mobster spew lies 24/7 for the past two years; and we’ve become calloused to having to adjust to blatant, often obviously ridiculous claims by the most disgusting citizen in our country.

I could go on and on...unnecessary government shutdown, raping and plundering of our nation’s air, waters and land..tax giveaways to the richest swine among us at the expense of the other 90% struggling to make ends meet - at a cost of an additional $2,000,000,000,000 !!

Seriously? Fuck them all! G’damned gullible morons are the reason we are in a different bowl of shit stew than the one W left for President Obama to fix - despite an obstructionist repuKKKe Congress. Fuck them all! Every last one of them! Back into your closets, and hang your heads in shame and STFU!

Your post could not be more right. Enough already.

"what is it going to take for you people?"

Every time a Trumpist airs their "wisdom" they expose their utter ignorance of how things actually work.

CNN?
CBS News?
NBC?
MSNBC?
Bloomberg?
NPR?

"MSM" is kind of broad...

I do a fair amount of channel hopping when something big or hitherto unbelievable happens--which these days is fairly often.

I'm a confirmed news junkie, I admit it. So any given week I tune into all the above, as well as blogs and the major newspapers.

My observation even extends to my local paper. I live in a predominantly blue area of a predominantly blue state. My local newspaper is, by and large, liberal. Yet pretty much every other day there's an op ed from a raving Trumpite explaining how liberals all hate America and are deranged socialists determined to turn us into Venezuela.

Drives me batty--obviously--so I just had to vent. After which I feel better.

watched a video in the DU video format, this morning

When is the last time you saw ANYTHING about the Democratic BASE?
It's always "Trump's Base" blah, blah, blah...............
But really, what "BASE" is showing strength now - and was responsible for the revolution at the polls in 2018 and brought IQ45 to his knees for the "Trump Shutdown?"
Yeah, THAT base!!!!

We are here.

We are strong.

We will win!

while their base is "real America" and blah blah blah.

Which is another of my peeves--this idea that rural (white) America is somehow more "American" than the vast majority of Americans who live in cities or suburbs.

But one rant a day is my limit.

It sells tripe tickets to the event.

They're making a ton of money in the MSM from their efforts to legitimize a dumb shit ignorant racist and put him in the White House.

And call us snowflakes. They are so tough and can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. So it is not consistent of them to claim victimization.

When it comes to big media, follow the normalization.

What you see them trying to normalize, somehow parade as vox populi, is what their bosses are pushing them to promote.

Liberal media my ass (msnbc excluded - up to a point).

supporters. Because with them we are scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Those who voted for him have been trained to be BELIEVER. They think only what they are told by their masters. They have been bred to not be thinkers. They have been bred to work and breed. Thinking is not what their masters desire with their new mindless bred. We who think and understand are not part of their breed. I am sad to report that at least 50 million in-breeders are living in this country. The experiment to have a non thinking population is going gang busters in the middle of the USA......SAD
