good grief. msnbc has and is carrying a Trump rally LIVE! WHY give him

[riversedge]

this free air time --all the time??

[kentuck]

1. How do we know it is free?

How do we know that Trump did not give them a million dollars to show all his speeches and events?

[riversedge]

2. I do not know. Good thought.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

3. This is great entertainment.

Heckled twice and Trump complains about security.

He's throwing them the fish and their clapping like seals.

[C_U_L8R]

4. All he needs is a funny little mustache

'cause he's got quite a brownshirt rally going there

[crazylikafox]

6. yep, it's frightening

[C_U_L8R]

11. It's like the third reich for third graders

Just how lame-brained do you have to be
to fall for Trump's happy hate-schtick ??!!

[earthside]

5. I'm watching it ...

... it is very interesting.

It is easy to see why he appeals to the Tea Party faction; he really does say what I think a lot of those folks really, really believe.

On the other hand, he just said to this South Carolina crowd that he was against the war in Iraq, that it was a bad idea.

This is the longest I've watched one of these Trump events and ... well, I think it is unwise to underestimate his appeal.

I can also see why he is so far ahead of his Repuglican opponents -- he is so much better than all of the rest of them.

[cry baby]

7. It's like a Jerry Springer show FFS! nt

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

8. Trump: Largest crowd in the history of this ship!"

LOL. Now he's going after NBC reporter.

[Amishman]

9. trump gets ratings, so trump gets airtime.

all news networks are still businesses, and ratings equals money.

always follow the money.

[hifiguy]

12. David Sarnoff must be spinning in his grave.

He should be up to about 7500 rpm by now.

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

13. how low can MSNBC

go?

How much does Donald Trump dominate TV news coverage? This much
By Brian Stelter and Ken Olshansky @CNNMoney

The Republican presidential candidate gave a speech this week at that party's Jewish Coalition.


Donald Trump's Republican campaign for president has received more nightly news attention than all the Democratic campaigns combined, according to a new data analysis.

Trump is "by far the most newsworthy storyline of Campaign 2016, accounting alone for more than a quarter of all coverage" on NBC, CBS and ABC's evening newscasts, Andrew Tyndall said.

Tyndall, the publisher of The Tyndall Report, meticulously tracks nightly news content.

Between January and November, according to his data, Trump's campaign was covered for 234 minutes on the three newscasts. Jeb Bush's campaign was covered for 56 minutes; Ben Carson's, for 54.

The campaign for the front-runner on the other side of the aisle, Hillary Clinton, was covered for 113 minutes. (Coverage of Clinton controversies dating to her time as Secretary of State was counted separately, and totaled an additional 117 minutes, more than her campaign proper.) .....................................

15. Recommended.

The media has begun to increase the coverage of Trump, while pretending that President Obama is "weak," and personally 100% responsible for the "failed" US policy regarding ISIS.

[Horse with no Name]

18. I've noticed that

I don't think that Obama could do anything that would be supported by the M$M.

[annabanana]

16. Shame on them. Do they want blood on THEIR hands?. . .n/t

[enough]

17. That's a matter of no importance to them one way or the other. (nt)

[restorefreedom]

19. the cynic in me....

says matthews had something else to do, so this is easy filler

fox and cnn are not covering. cnn dipped in briefly, and cspan is covering

[Tarheel_Dem]

20. It's simple. Trump=Ratings & Ratings=$$$$$. It's why DT has had to spend so little campaign funds.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

21. Fascism is good for ratings

Only losers care about stuff like equal time, objectivity and fairness.

[winstars]

22. Sorry, but his "people" will soon be painting the "JUDEN" equivalent on Muslim shop windows...

This shit is starting to scare me....
