MSNBC = The Trump Channel

[ChisolmTrailDem]

So sick of the free airtime this fucker gets.

SMH.

1. CNN isn't

much better.

[valerief]

3. CNN is always worse. nt

6. I mean, don't the other candidates see this? I haven't heard a single one of them, our side...

...or theirs, point this out or demand equal time. I just can't stand it that he is allowed to skip along through this campaign without having to spend a dime.

2. I watched a little Rachel (with Melissa) last night as she discussed Flint. When the Trump

hour came on, I switched the channel.

4. I see them making Trump look like an idiot.

You have an objection to that?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

7. Please elaborate. Because I see him getting lots of free airtime. nt

8. Trump knows that all publicity, good or bad, is better than no publicity at all.

And he is right. If MSNBC spent half of that time reporting on Sanders and Hillary Clinton, may be Democratic primary voters would be better informed.

And if they were using part of this time talking about the 11 other GOP candidates, who knows. may be some GOP voters could be informed too.

But this is all about money, money, money. I stopped watching MSNBC as I had stopped watching FOX. Better things to do in life than hearing about Trump being an idiot.

11. Thinking people certainly perceive that

But for low-information folks who operate primarily on visual rather than auditory stimuli (Boss Tweed understood this at a gut level), Trump's ubiquitous presence looks considerably different.

I caught part of the Toady Show yesterday, and once again they had Trump on for yet another telephone interview. The guy doesn't even have to drop by 30 Rock; NBC affords him free air time anyway. Trump wants to deliver a message, and NBC serves as his personal Western Union.

12. Here's a guess: low-information voters aren't tuning in to Hard Ball or Rachel Maddow

[spanone]

14. no, but they love the 'today show' and the 'today show' loves trump

[brooklynite]

15. But the OP is about MSNBC

Bottom line - if Donald Trump is going to continue to "make news" he's going to get covered.

[RKP5637]

5. It's all about $$$$$'s and the bottom line. Whatever brings in the most viewers and the

most revenue they will air.

[spanone]

9. it's as if he's the only candidate running. m$nbc should be ashamed of itself.

out-foxing faux

[moondust]

10. Maybe advertisers are driving it.

If the corporations that put up the ad money are giddy about the prospect of putting a billionaire "dealmaker" in the White House, maybe they are encouraging/demanding blanket coverage.

More tRrump = more ad revenues?

[Separation]

13. Nah

It's not just msnbc, it every cable newz channel. Haven't you wondered why he hasn't made any commercials? Why should he? He gets unbelievable air exposure. I cannot imagine him being president, the very thought of it is revolting.
