2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMSNBC didn't find the Dem debate important enough for a post-debate
analysis.
What if it was a GOP debate? They'd blab for four hours.

(19,326 posts)It's as if the GOP's many prime-time debates were not enough... with their wall-to-wall
coverage for hours (if not days) before AND after each GOP debate.

(2,427 posts)What a waste of air time. They could run educational videos teaching ethics and history and probably pull better ratings while enriching the public. MSNBC can take a leap.

MSNBC is not a free Fourth Estate, so I don't expect anything less from the CORPMedia.

(2,427 posts)They don't mind much - cable TV should have revolutionized TV but it just made it suck more.
The interwebs are our last bastion of truth.

Stay vigilant!

(4,482 posts)What I'd like to know is who, if anyone, is compensated for Lockup. Is it filmed in private prisons? Are the prisoners who provide the "entertainment" compensated?
Fantastic Anarchist
(7,309 posts)I never thought about that.
Nothing at Wikipedia. I did find this question and answer that didn't really provide any information.

I'd like to know this, too.

(154,021 posts)but Mathews has some underlying medical conditions that might have cropped up... and prevented him from hosting this. Getting emergency hosts 4 days before Christmas might be tricky. That said, they should have, even if they had to remote it.
