Fk'n MSNBC Bernie holding press conference on TPP. To add insult to injury...

Chuckie showing a soundless shot of it in corner of screen, while talking to a Clinton shill about how wonderful she is.

Then Chuckie "dips into" press conference AFTER Sanders has discussed subject -- trade -- and is doing some boilerplate "horserace" stuff.

Jeeze.

We really don't have much control on what we see. The media as it exists now needs to die.

The only power we have is denying them eyes/revenue or shaming them on the only thing we have left...the internet.

We seriously need a big change in our society.

P.s. I enjoy a good DU blast myself every now and again

on blast
to embarass someone or to make someone look stupid
"I heard you told Jay he had bad breath in front of the whole class"
"Yeah, I put him on blast"

Geez, I hope they have some solvent to get that thing off. I wouldn't wish that embarrassment on any fellow human.
Saw a Carson, too.
And a Mitt today--I hope it was an old one.
What a town!

Now I feel better about myself.

I do miss Rachel, but alas, her show became weak and often boring.

There's plenty available on the net to replace MSNBC. TYT, Ring of Fire, Thom Hartmann, etc.

Mike Pappantonio is freaking great. You know how Sean Hannity calls Mark Levin "The Great One" that's what we should call Mike Pappantonio on the liberal side.

Watching = ratings and ratings = $.
Until it's gone in April watch AlJazeera or TYT tv or something else. It's not news it's OPINION tv, just like Fox only with less hate, but they're getting there.

as a political pundit on a major network. He's a no talent hack. He reminds me of people that write to their small town local newspaper comments section in the hope that they'll get published.
