F U Chris Matthews! F U MSNBC! (Trigger Warning!)

.



I am so disgusted with MSNBC over the past year! Chris matthews SUCKS.


The ONLY thing that's holding me on this network right now is Rachel and Chris Hayes, but barely.


If Chuck Todd or Joe Scarborough were on... I'd immediately turn it off. MSNBC really has swung to the Right!


Sorry for my anger, but this is just getting out of control. I've watch some FOX debate narrations, over MSNBC at times, because FOX was less Republican and more fairly balanced than MSNBC was! How bad is that? That FOX was actually fairer than MSNBC?

I thought my post was self-explanatory. That MSNBC is conservative now.

Why assume that I am a Bernie supporter?


I was already banned on the HRC thread because I made a comment about Disney tax-dodging their money in Luxembourg. It wasn't even politically negative to any candidate, yet that got me banned. I'm an EFF supporter and this was the first time I was banned in over 30 year of being in IT. But, as an adult, I harbor no animosity. The HRC thread is not reflective of HRC.


To make an assumption like that is revealing, in so many ways!

then others, like when he got an on air hard on seeing Bush in a flight suit. He is tolerable at best.

On edit: I didn't see it, so not sure what all the anger is about.

showing an unredeemable shallowness.

MSNBC hasn't swung to the right, it's MSM.
It has to portray the essentially Republican "center right" on war and economics as being "far right", because it has to portray the essentially identical Clinton/DLC/3rd-way as "centrist" and "moderate". So there is no "center left" for them. Their entire range is defined by the Republican party and by big money, big war. Even ratings come second. The only differentiations that they allow to be aired are with respect to, e.g., Hillary is "pro-choice", so is "the progressive center", whereas the Republicans are all generally "pro-life" and so are "right-wing". That's it. They couldn't find an issue with both hands if it were shoved up their collective ass.

And that's why the first thing Hillary Clinton's campaign attacked is Bernie Sanders' campaign focused on economic justice. How can anybody forget that, how en masse they attacked the notion of "economic justice" as being somehow opposed to racial and social justice in general. How they attacked "Bernie supporters" as being almost exclusively "white" and "brogressive" and attacked white progressives as being white supremacists, misogynists, anti-LGBT, bigots. In fact it still hasn't stopped because, lacking any concept of economic justice that's all they've got.
