👋 that’s me. Divorced MSNBC after Biden debate and now get up and find something else to distract me, even with “local” news (which inevitably covers national news)
Haven’t watched TV news since 2016. For a while I divided my time between 127 and MSNBC. The latter is now off my SXM presets. You’re doing a good job.
I haven’t given up, but I need a break from the shock of the election and the subsequent shitshow of bad news. Even Chris Hayes said on his MSNBC show that he probably wouldn’t watch himself, either. I’m not rooting for MSNBC to die as I think most of their anchors are on the side of democracy.
Nothing, absolutely nothing can compare to the power of live talk radio. I only wish liberals got into talk radio as much as conservatives do on their side. Maybe this election will be the re-start of that. Listening to Sirius Progress is like listening to friends. You all teach me so much.
I wonder how many people whose amazon prime accounts normally re-up around Christmas time won't be doing that this year. Probably a lot! I'll be one of them.
The press failed us. They became so craven they forgot the freedom the Constitution gave them came with a duty to inform the public. They are as much to blame for what's to come as those who voted for it.
Sensible people have turned away from coverage that normalises the new govt, and Trump voters know they need to avoid anything doing ‘journalism’ to avoid having their illusions burst.
Howard Beale in Network: "When the twelfth largest company in the world controls the most awesome goddamned propoganda force in the whole godless world, who knows what shit will be peddled for truth on this network?"
I am viewing them the same as MAGA. Ice them out!! For me it was the sane washing followed by the kissing of the ring. We are at a crossroads. We can either keep America or go MAGA and I would rather die than ever bow to Trump.
Since the election we are tuned out network or cable news. I’ve been an MSNBC newshound since it launched in ‘96. Will get my news from platforms websites, blogs & podcasts that aren’t owned by the megacorps that put Trump and all the fascists into office. NO REASON to trust the lot of them.
And I'm one of them; I haven't watched or listened to MSNBC since the election. Actually, I tried to watch a few minutes just now and it was a panel about Trump cabinet picks. Things were being said like "this one seems normal and is a good pick" and "Trump likes them to be telegenic." 🤮
It’s really simple, for me at least. I don’t want to see that face or hear that voice. Ever. I don’t want to see clips of his supporters saying moronic things. I sure as shit don’t want to spend one second of my listening anyone being paid lots of money to normalize any of this.
