MSNBC...Quit Bitching About What Biden Is/IsNot Doing

Last edited Sat May 16, 2020, 10:07 PM - Edit history (2)

all day long you've had panels on complaining about him. Do you people do not understand what is going on in this country? Men, women and children are dying because of him. Trump and his enablers are destroying the very foundations of our country. And yet you are doing your best to get him re-elected.

He's not perfect and wasn't my first choice but that ship has sailed. There is a choice to be made when you vote and if yours isn't for the madman in the WH, quit doing your best to get him re-elected.

Don't give them the ratings or the money. That is their bottom line. If you don't feed them, they don't eat.

It's up to us to get rid of Trump no matter what Biden says or does.

I suppose. I have no inside knowledge on these goings on, but in my head, they are spewing what their corporate masters tell them.

It's pundits and advocates who are given a voice and unload a barrel full of grievances. I wish I could say to them aside from the death and economy being destroyed issue, do you not understand that children are still in cages and Biden didn't put them there.

Having a family member who once wrote copy for a Major City TV Station,you are pretty much spot on.

All about selling soap. Copy Writers write what the Producers want if they want to eat.

Spell check didn't catch it nor did these eyes if you know what I mean. But if someone can't quit bitching, quiet bitching is the next best thing...

all the time.. and sometimes I don't catch it.. I'm sure. It's not fun getting older as in my case.

You had "Quite" so that's another form. They need to Stop.. I read they had a new boss and shakeup there at MSNBC.. and it seems from this that not much has changed?

Each prompt is for a different show so you can target who you wish to comment on. The last prompt is several shows bunched together.

Got this in my phone contacts. This General Election is too important for MSNBC and other TV news to pull the same tired, old school, played out gaslighting horse race they've run in the past.

One day they will thank their viewers for bitching and threatening to turn them off they don't serve up better than "both siderism" BS.

need to realize that if Trump wins a second term, they will at least be out of a job or at worst arrested and held without bail for the rest of their lives without any recourse.

The choice is stark -we can either save ourselves with whatever we have left of our country and our democracy -or we can literally kiss our individual and collective asses GOODBYE. We are out of time.

...your long string of "he" and "him" to make it clear when you have stopped talking about Biden and have begun talking about Trump?

"Panels complaining about him (Biden)" immediately in the same paragraph becomes "Men, women and children are dying because of him. He and his enablers are destroying..." If I didn't know better I'd have to assume Biden is the villain.

As to MSNBC -- you are right; this is stupid of them. Please everybody call them on their viewer comment line, which you helpfully provided!

It would be too easy for the MSM to just rail against trump and talk about his shortcomings so they say negative things against Biden just so they look like they're being fair.

Note- I don't agree with that policy.
