by media propaganda, somehow believe it is reality. When challenged on it, normal people will deny it and double down on their beliefs in order not to be wrong.

This is why tyrants come to power and why someone no one expects to win can and does like GW Bush.

Ed Schultz took up some of the slack along with Rev. Al. They are all gone, and Rachel has taken a sharp right turn.

I have very low tolerance for MSNBC any more.

isn't age, gender, or race--it's people who trust what they hear as "news" on TV.

Except this time it's coming from the "left". Soon there will be polls talking about how misinformed people have become watching MSNBC rather than not watching it at all.

Hillary! It's obvious though that that is MSNBC's goal but I'm contrary enough that it only hardens me more in my support of Bernie!
