I'm so tired of cable news pundits telling us...

[zanana1]

That Democrats are going to have a hard time defeating Trump. They went from bashing Trump to bashing Democrats. Saying that
Bernie Sanders can't win the General Election is close to propaganda. Bernie won't win if we take all this talk as truth.
I've stopped watching CNN and MSNBC. It's disheartening.

[USALiberal]

1. I do not want MSNBC or CNN to just tell us what we want to hear! Nt

[zanana1]

4. That's what I used to think.

But with all the Trump and Trumper's lies, I don't want to hear it on what is supposed to be balanced reporting.

2. Media's biggest fear

is a lopsided election, a ratings/advertising bust.Only logical they play up competitive race, true or not.

[Bluepinky]

3. CNN and MSNBC are part of the corporate establishment with lots of money at stake.

[RKP5637]

5. Which IMO they will trash Bernie or anyone that threatens their

gravy train. Also, MSNBC is not a true friend IMO, but focuses on Dems as a niche market for that segment of profitability.

6. Easy fix

Turn the Cable Noise Infotainment Media ----- OFF.


Your life will be dramatically better without their manufactured drama.

[Flaleftist]

11. Yes

I watch a lot less tv news since I cut the cord last year. While I do miss Rachel and Lawrence, I feel better coming here and getting most of my news from what gets posted in the LBN forum.

7. So you think the election will be a cakewalk for us?

I'd love to know which states you are certain we have in the bag.

Incumbent presidents start with an advantage unless the economy is falling apart. Since 1900, incumbent presidents have won re-election around a dozen times and lost five times, as follows:

George H.W. Bush lost to Bill Clinton in 1992.
Jimmy Carter lost to Ronald Reagan in 1980.
Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter in 1976.
Herbert Hoover lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932.
William Taft lost to Woodrow Wilson in 1912.

8. M$NBC is panicked about Bernie's health care plan.

It will wipe out the insurance company and Pharma advertising budgets.

M$NBC has been hammering on Bernie and Liz' plans non-stop for weeks. It's tiresome and I am tuning in less and less.

[we can do it]

9. With BS as candidate it's likely.

[OnDoutside]

10. Close to truth, rather than propaganda. But at least there'll be someone to blame ?

[blueinredohio]

12. The only cable news I watch is Rachel Maddow.

[Baclava]

13. Rachel doesn't "report the news", she does in-depth political commentary, I wish people understood

[blueinredohio]

14. She reports on things in politics we would never know about if not for her so

to me it's news I didn't know.

[Baclava]

15. Right, but I mean she's much better than some of these talking head pundit idiots u see in the 'news

16. Cut off their money. Quit television.

My wife and I did that a long time ago.

We have an inexpensive DSL internet connection that streams a single channel of Netflix flawlessly. We also have a DVD player.

Netflix is $8.99 a month.

We don't suffer any television news, opinion, or commercials.

I do mean suffer. Television has become intolerable to me.

Every time I see it now I feel

These days most of my exposure to television is in hotel breakfast rooms and waiting rooms. If I'm in a waiting room with a television and nobody seems to be watching I'll ask if I can turn it off.

I used to think television news and opinion were somehow important. I've come to realize television is the worst possible medium for news and opinion.

Television made trump and that's unforgivable.
