The network’s mix of weighty reflection, analysis, and schadenfreude is drawing in major ratings, surpassing Fox News and CNN as the go-to network for coverage of Trump’s criminal charges.

    Might be off-topic, but I really hate how mainstream media has boiled down politics and news into sports teams. With shit like this headline, it just infuriates me that it’s normal to go “us vs them” for all of the citizens of the same fucking country because the people supporting Team D need to beat Team R, and vice versa. Like, ffs who cares of News Outlet A is having a grand time having their “Super Bowl” on whatever Team R is doing, or if News Outlet B is bashing on whatever random tangent they have going on for Team D?

    Yeah, fuck fascism, but fuck whatever mainstream media is trying to do to with this shit, because it’s downplaying politics hard.

      Pageantry, which the media is an integral part of, is an important part of Fascism so you are basically just saying “fuck fascism” twice. No need to either or with this.

      Having a left of center source regularly taking their best shots at the other side is a good thing because the opposite is happening regardless. You can always watch centrist sources (and you should) like ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, BBC etc.

      So the solution is not to silence MSNBC. They are a critical counterweight to FAUX. The solution is to add some centrist sources to your news.

      Lol what a shit take. This could be said for fox or newsmax but there are precisely zero left MSM sources that were left for the sake of being left alone.
      Every corporate msm is right of center.

      This is just another “both sides” argument you’re making.
      Talking about trumps crimes don’t make MSNBC left or part of team Dem.

      I stopped drinking, but I’m tempted to get a special bottle to celebrate. But when, though? Conviction, sentencing, incarceration, the possible fugitive status, capture, and lastly when he dies in prison of old age?

        My fiance and I popped a bottle of champagne when the announcement came over the radio last Thursday. I’m not optimistic enough to buy a bottle for his actual arrest.

        Why not all of the above? Also take a shot everytime he says something that pisses off the judge.

            Right!? I did see 3 small bottles of Jameson, I think, sold as a set. Maybe I’ll go that route. Still be able to finish a bottle and not hate myself in the morning, lol
