MSNBC, TAKE DOWN THE 20 SEC TERRORISM LOOP!!!

I'm watching history on MSNBC -- the President speaking in Cuba -- and MSNBC has put a 20 second loop of the terrorist attack in Brussels in a window taking up 3/5 of the screen. Letting ISIS have 3/5 of the screen is NOT RIGHT! MSNBC letting the assholes of the world crowd into a great moment is a terrible choice, and a disservice.

I want the one network that I can bear to shine. This is incredibly disappointing!

I haven't watched TV "news" in years -- and I haven't missed anything.

Turn it off. Keep it off.
