Turn off your TVs if the media give him prime time for this fucking political shit

[malaise]

That is all

[SWBTATTReg]

1. I do. And I turn off all magazines, newspapers, all radio spots, everything w/ rump. The ...

republicans have lost everything because they continue to hobnob w/ this traitor and criminal. When will they realize this?

[RKP5637]

5. Way back, way way back, the GOP used to be a group you could work with. Now, they are just the

sludge and garbage of the US.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

16. GOP -- coup by radical minority

[RKP5637]

21. Yep, exactly what it's become!!! n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. they select voters instead of the other way around

Gerrymandering, voter purges, voter suppression, and a 24/7 propaganda machine (Fox and AM hate radio) have been used more and more effectively over decades.

[RKP5637]

24. tRump, President of the Cult! n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. supreme court -- captured, exec -- captured

GOP had hoped to complete the coup, but Trump jumped in before they could consolidate power with a nice, bland, undramatic stooge in the WH.

The supreme court unleashed unlimited campaign donations from the billionaire class GOPers have been feeding since Reagan. It then rolled back the checks against GOPer election tampering. That was sufficient to capitalize on the gerrymandering of 2010, except Trumpism galvanized the blue wave.

We have a chance, but not if TV keeps acting as Trump's propaganda vehicle.

[bdamomma]

41. bitch

of putin too.

[RKP5637]

42. Yep, definitely!!! n/t

[Hermit-The-Prog]

46. don't forget MbS (well, all of Saudi govt)

[octoberlib]

2. I was thinking the same thing. Now that Dems control the House, he's going to be

doing a lot more of this grandstanding bullshit.

[malaise]

7. I will not watch

No way

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. I will not watch

TV execs are as bad as the radicalized GOP -- anything to feed their greed.

There comes a time when people have suffered enough for the benefit of the 0.7%.

Turn it off!

[RKP5637]

3. Bottom of screen on MSNBC just said now tRump to speak during prime time Tuesday

on shutdown. I didn't hear the audio. Guess he must have gotten the OK. FFS, what a place.

[Vinca]

4. Great idea!

[CatWoman]

6. they will air it

[malaise]

9. I'll pass

[octoberlib]

18. The networks turned Obama down in 2014 when he wanted to give a primetime address

on immigration reform because it was too overtly political. They also turned him down for the same reason when he wanted to give one on Obamacare. I fully expect them to treat Trump the same way.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

39. your false dichotomy is noted

There is unquestionably a conspiracy underway, but it does not require "THE media" to be in on it. There are sufficient facts in the public record for reasonable people to conclude that Trump conspired with foreign agents to win the election of 2016. The fact that he has not yet been charged does not negate that reasonable conclusion.

The media did not have to be part of the conspiracy to elect Trump in order for them to be instrumental in its accomplishing its goal. Tv simply did what it was expected to do, which is chase the most dollars for itself.

[SCVDem]

10. Another episode of

American Horror Story!

[lark]

11. Actually, I will watch whatever channel doesn't have him on.

I'd prefer MSNBC, but will watch any show that he's not on. When he's done with his ranting un-American drivel, I'll definitely turn on MSNBC to get their take. If it's CNN that doesn't carry him, I'll watch them instead. I just hope at least 1/2 of the msm doesn't air his unconstitutional destructive rant and rage, although really think none of them should except Faux which is the repug channel after all.

[malaise]

12. I'm with you 100%

[GoCubsGo]

13. I will be watching "Chicago PD" rerun on one of those subchannels.

Or, maybe "Boston Legal", now that Escape is showing the reruns. I was planning to watch the new episode of "We Meet Again", but no doubt PBS will preempt it for the Motherfucker's lie-fest. Disgusting.

[Homer Wells]

14. I am quite thankful

that I have the Amazon Fire Stick hooked up to my set. I’ve got plenty of binge-watching that I can do on that particular evening. I’m close to being ready to dump Dish Network, anyway.

[miyazaki]

15. the networks allowing time for a rebuttal?

[cwydro]

17. Oh yeah, there'll be at least 10 threads within minutes of the time he appears on the screen.

Each OP will tell us word for word what he’s saying.

I won’t be watching because I simply cannot even look at his face.

[pecosbob]

19. One solution...

[Squinch]

26. Yes! Boycott the asshole's lies.

[redstatebluegirl]

27. Ratings is all that matters to him. Make those ratings dive!

[bdamomma]

43. the ratings will go down

the majority of Americans despise him. Go ahead put him on TV the media is going to get another rude awakening.

[bluestarone]

28. TV will be OFF and

DU will be ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[onecaliberal]

29. I have toilets to clean instead.

[malaise]

31. Well to be kind he's full of more shit than the toilets in all the parks that

haven't been cleaned - COMBINED!

[onecaliberal]

34. Sadly, it's not even a contest:

[C_U_L8R]

30. Zero ratings.

Not one household should be watching that bullshit show. Catch it later on streams or through your fave news. But give Trump no rating points at all. The vainglorious fucker.

[aeromanKC]

32. Tuesday will be Netflix Night!!

Not even MSNBC will get my rating point.

[appleannie1943]

33. I will be watching The Curse of Oak Island on Tuesday night.

I never listen to anything trump says. He creates a nausea effect that has me running to the bathroom. I prefer to avoid that. Besides, nothing he says makes even a remote amount of sense.

[doc03]

35. I turn off the TV every time he is on there more than a few seconds. nt

[albacore]

36. I'm not a football fan.. but I like watching the high-light plays....

I plan to NOT watch the trump "game", but I'm looking forward to the low-light moments of trump's blatherings and brain-farts tomorrow night.
His voice grates on me no end, but I'll gladly put up with that to hear/watch him further make a fool of himself.

[Liberal In Texas]

37. How would anybody know if I'm watching or not?

I'm not connected with a smart TV which I would think would be the only way.

Besides, I don't watch his crap anyway. As usual, will be streaming N'flix, Amazon, or Acorn.

[EX500rider]

51. I think the only way is to be a Nielsen Family, n/t

[brooklynite]

38. But then the NSA satellites will know.

Unless you're a Neilsen household, your TV viewing habits don't make it into the ratings.

[UniteFightBack]

44. Sometimes it's a matter of principal. nt

[bdamomma]

40. I will not

watch.

[UniteFightBack]

45. I ain't gonna watch this muthafucka. nt

[akraven]

47. We get the basic 3 and PBS from our local university..

and much prefer driving the neighbors into a visit with the stereo system some of which is 40 or more years old.

I hear THAT voice? It's gone.

[malaise]

48. Ha

Same here

[malaise]

50. You'll know

That should be enough

[Windy City Charlie]

52. Goes to show

He doesn't hate the media as much as he puts on with his "fake news" BS. He only uses that line when it's a convenience when he doesn't like the news that's being reported so his base has something to sink their teeth into.
