Why do they continue to give this asshole free airtime?
I wish people would call them and complain, it is sickening!
--Edit to add: Here's a link, viewerservices@msnbc.com for complaining!

(2,479 posts)Not an issue for me directly, but perhaps an issue for all of us if they get this asshole elected. Or even close to elected.
It's like pumping poison into the veins of those who are watching.
Every time I walk into the room that has the TV, there that asshole is, waving his little hands around.
I have not seen them covering Hillary talking once.

(5,730 posts)when the entire media are giving him millions of dollars of free adds...even though I had to mute it. HRC has to raise
money for her adds. DT's are free and extensive!

(24,023 posts)...how terrible the media is and how unfairly he is being treated.
Here's an idea - stop covering the jackass for 48 hours and really piss him off.

(18,290 posts)At first I was annoyed, but as the rallies wore on, Trump and his acolytes became more and more virulently unhinged.
It might serve a purpose to show voters on the fence exactly what kind of government we would get from the dangerous buffoon and his mob-mentality followers.

All people need to ask themslves is, "If I were interviewing for a job, would I want to work for this guy?" No way, right. You wouldn't even want to work with him, let alone have him in charge of anything.

(19,581 posts)MSNBC and CNN. And, I will not watch the Sunday shows either, if they just have the talking heads and sleazy Trump reps on.

(22,897 posts)re the election? I emailed them once and asked why the hell drumpf gets so much air time.
Here it is: viewerservices@msnbc.com
Maybe it's time I did it again.
It's infuriating, isn't it?

(2,479 posts)Just emailed them:
Dear Sirs and/or Madames:
I find it quite offensive that you constantly give Donald Trump extensive free air time, running his rants seemingly endlessly. I don't see you running footage of Hillary's rallies. Why would you give free air time to a hate-mongering pathological-lying self-aggrandizing fascist wannabe and then ignore an actual candidate for the presidency of the United States?
Yours,
--One of the future victims of the hate you are helping to spread

(5,051 posts)At best there are a few hours on weekday evenings that qualify, but that's about it. They gave up on "Leaning Left" after a few short months and even announced they were moving to a more centrist (meaning conservative) position before the election season got underway.
In the end they serve the corporate conglomerates not us.

(50,986 posts)world, a multi-layered and complex vision. We can't expect someone like Trump to narrow his remarks to the media. They are expansive and require 24-7 coverage generally and at the expense of the Democratic ticket especially.
Guy's a genius, I tell ya.

(2,479 posts)Even though I know he is really giving a sophisticated discussion of the complex and difficult issues faced by our modern world, it all just sounds like hate speech to me.
Just goes to show how clueless I must be!

(50,986 posts)to listen to him speak, but within seconds, it just sails over my head.
The liberal media are all attacking him. Fortunately he has those suave and seasoned surrogates to rise to his defense.
