TV News shows
Why do they have the same guests and same hosts over and over? If I were a TV programmer, I would allow someone to host a show for three years max. I would allow guests on no more than once a month.

They need to get some fresh air into those shows. Its the same opinions and same spin over and over again.

1. Lots of us have wondered about that. We came to the conclusion that
the Corporate Media is influencing the agenda and they like the "Beltway Insiders" who can be bought. So many of them make big bucks on the speaking tours and bring revenue in because of their controversy that it's a happy partnership.

One wonders why they don't ever retire, or switch around, though. Would think "boredom" would settle in unless it's because they make so much money off their influence. :shrug: But, agree it's the same boring spin over and over, year after year.

2. MSNBC hires people to appear as experts and so they think the more they
MSNBC hires people to appear as experts and so they think the more they have them on, the more value per year they're getting.
