I am so fed up of CNN and GEM$NBComcast spending so much time

[malaise]

covering elections. There is so much other news that is not being covered.
Sure this is their cash cow -meanwhile democracy itself is under threat as ReTHUGs plot and scheme in public on how to steal the elections.

Why is there such superficial coverage of the political system in America?
Why aren't the vast number of problems facing people's lives discussed?
Why is there no serious discussion on the state of infrastructure?

WTF is wrong with M$Greedia?

1. There are still many other news outlets...

so some may be fed up with the constant complaining about these two.

2. #CNN Nomiki Konst is poor representative for Sanders. Like his social media fans, she is rude and

And now this weekend --Nomiki was on--she really is not a good PR person for BS.

#CNN Nomiki Konst is poor representative for Sanders. Like his social media fans, she is rude and argumentative. She talks, doesn't listen.

@bannerite I saw her a few times Sun. I actually muted it the 2nd time-very rude with Talking points only

3. You need to update your message

GE hasn't owned NBC/MSNBC for a couple of years now.

It's just outdated information.

10. He knows that

But he persists in using the term. Why, I do not know. When I asked him why, my post was hidden for asking. Maybe you can try?

12. Things like that just invalidate the rest of their message

If you can't get the basics right, why would I listen to the rest?

Of course, I find the whole GEM$ and M$ and all the other things done like that to just look stupid and childish anyway.

4. The MSM ....

.... has been lying by omission for decades. The election coverage just makes it easier. It will still go on long after the horse race is over.

6. +1,000

True but we get tired of shouting bullshit to the TV. Guess we should expect no less from corporations that support fascism.

15. One of the cable channels used to have a very truthful slogan for their news

It may have been Turner Broadcasting back when they first began having news breaks. The slogan:

"All the news we think you should hear."

Not what we needed to hear, not what would truly inform us - just what THEY thought we should hear.

5. I quit watching tv news. it's mostly corporate right wing propaganda.

[malaise]

7. I'm getting there

Can't take much more of this

[think]

8. Comcast gutted MSNBC. But even before that I knew I had stayed too long for

a few hosts I liked. Glad I stopped.

9. To bad about pay-'news' when real political 'news' is on 'free' from source, Professor Obama :P

For more than 10 years, President Obama taught at the University of Chicago Law School, an institution known for its commitment to full and vigorous debate from all sides of the intellectual spectrum. It's where the late Justice Antonin Scalia served as a professor for several years and developed his originalist view of the Constitution. It’s a school where all points of view are treated with respect and are subject to the same rigorous challenge.

And it's where President Obama will return this afternoon for the first time since moving into the White House to talk with law students about the enduring benefits of an impartial Supreme Court and how the current confirmation process holds the potential long-term consequences for some of our most important constitutional values.

13. And here is Professor Obama about the Supreme Court, better then 'news' imo.

President Obama Participates in a Conversation about the Supreme Court 4/7/2016

11. If they talked about that, people would get ''ideas.''

They might even demand politicians DO something about these pressing issues. So, it's all horse race all the time. And no one is the wiser.

14. I'm sick of cable news too, so

I've taken to watching local los angeles news. I have seen 3 (count 'em, 3) car chases just this week alone. It's so much more exciting than the 24 hour repetitiveness of cable news. (Yes, my brain has obviously been turned to mush).

17. Can't blame you

It's overkill on steroids

[anigbrowl]

16. Why are you choosing to watch it then?

If you're tired of it change the channel or consider turning off the TV. Ratings are the only things that content directors understand.
