Because what's the point? Everyone already knew he was guilty. The right doesn't care and the far left wanted to "teach democrats a lesson" over Palestine by throwing democracy out of a 5th floor window. It's not like we'll get a do-over on the election.
msnbc ( lower case intentional ) is controlled by nbc, which is owned and controlled by Comcast. Looking back. Why did Scarborough go to Mar-A-Slugo? He was told to. As a peace sign between Comcast & Trump.
I watched long segments on the California fires, Pete Hegseth and Isreal/Hamas without a peep about the Smith report. I believe it's not getting the attention it deserves.
It's another day where we are assured we made the right decision after the election to ban MSNBC, CNN and all cable news in our home. Done. Finished. Finito.
THIS is why, in large part, we are here. I understand there are other elements. But, my GOD. The utter fail of media, of journalism. It absolutely shocks me. Reporting, researching, writing ACTUAL NEWS for the American people. Most don't even understand what it means anymore.
I feel the same, heartbreaking. I remember my father telling me as a little girl NEVER LIE BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER BE BELIEVED , NEVER STEAL BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER BE TRUSTED NOR WELCOME. A WORLD FULL OF LIES IS EXHAUSTING ,CRUSHING AND TOTALLY CORROSIVE TO THE SOUL I LONG FOR THE TRUTH
I believe you are right on some level but I'm thinking it's the courts and justice system that has failed in this instance. It's a report of "I could've done this, I could've done that" but in the end nothing was accomplished.... justice is different for the rich and powerful.
That is painfully true. Trump used every possible way to delay everything -- as has been his m.o. his ENTIRE life. Every single possible god damn thing to delay he had his jillion of lawyers throw at the wall. And it worked. And it just makes me sick.
It's now all controlled by billionaires with their long term plan - Project 2025.
We need to follow The Contrarian. Their motto - "Not owned by anyone."
"The Press" is no longer the 4th Pillar of Government sworn to hold the powers that be accountable. In fact, they have become the exact opposite and are now impotent cowardice profit and ratings whores just like the criminal POTUS they helped to elect.
Because at this point if they show the American people what a monster he truly is, when they gave him a pass the entire time leading up to the election, it might make them look bad. Democracy be damned.
There is the report and then these Trump unqualified nominees. Time to stay in the present because if Hegseth, Kennedy Jr, Gabbard or Patel get these jobs who knows what bad things will happen.
I still watch, even MJ, and they aren’t holding back on trump or his unqualified cabinet picks. They also have some highly qualified guests. If they go the way of CNN I’m out.
I believe in keeping your friends close and keeping your enemies closer.
If dialog and negotiation can save our democracy I support it.
Refusing to ever speak to anyone with opposing views solves nothing.
there is zero new information in it, and it will never be acted upon. as news, it has no relevance because our side has already accepted it as truth and the other side never will. so what's the point? gnash our teeth for another 24 hours? to what end?
Exactly.
Republicans have nothing to fear from the Democrats' base. Their attention span is also that of a child's. And their commitment to punish those who've betrayed our trust seems to last only until someone says, "Rachel".
She failed to distinguish herself. See should return to her podcasts.
Probably because it really doesn’t matter, not one trump supporter will believe one word of it and everyone else already knows he did everything in it and will face zero consequences for it
Because of course they are. With no punishment, maga will just say it was all a witch Hunt anyway. Mainstream media is killing democracy! Merrick Garland failed us. I get why Biden picked him, but we needed a lion and we got a kitten. Someone should leak part two of the report. IMHO
Honestly, who gives a fuck anymore? We can’t do anything about it. Reading it or having it read to us is just going to piss us off and then we’re going to have to sit there pissed and unable to do anything about it. Fuck that report.
I was just trying to come up with the words, and there they are. ☝️☝️☝️ I would love if there was a different answer or outcome, but that's as useful as spitting in the wind.
I'm with you. Fuck it. 🤬🤬 Bottom line: It's over. Donald J. Trump is just six days away from being sworn in as the next president of the United States of America and he will not be held accountable for the federal crimes he committed. His 'presidency' will always be seen as illegitimate.
Finally an honest assessment of how many of us are feeling. What good does it do to hear all of this shit over and over knowing that we can't do anything about it? Except vote, right? Yeah, we fkn did that, and not for Sweet Potato Hitler.
Ok. And? I don’t give a fuck about how history looks at him in 100 years. The fact that he did this and got away with it only encourages others to do the same.
When real news is buried because the network is more worried about share price it is time to find a new network. Outside of main stream you have the great Meidas Touch who don't have shareholders.
They discussed this just this morning, along with the investigation, or lack there of, of Hegseth.
“who directed the FBI not to talk to the person with the most explosive testimony? JS
To be fair.
I am pleasantly surprised that they haven't sold 100% of their souls yet.
I'm not clear about ur second sentence. Someone told FBI checking into Hegseth not to speak with JS? Who would tell them that, or would've had authority to do so?
Not surprised if MG but wld wonder how J&M know that 2B true.
I think it was a rhetorical question. They had a guest on this morning, Julian Zelizer. It was an excellent segment….talking about partisanship in the republican party…”Democrats have to use their muscle into the next two years, remain united” much longer and very interesting.
Just a pointer to where people can verify for themselves —
the evidence relied on by the J6 Committee hasn't been illegally destroyed and deleted, as certain people have been claiming.
In 2011 the decision was made to put all of OasisThemepark's records online as they are created. The records can't get lost. They are tamper proof. Everything is date & time stamped. The records are hiding in plain sight. The 2016 IRS found this both brilliant & hilarious. OTP vp
It means they are burying the story essentially. Not giving it the coverage it deserves not taking the time to report all the worst details. Something like this should be front page but instead it’s probably like “Rams win big for LA!”
Yup...the sanewashing has begun. Normalizing Trump to get better ratings and keep the networks in Cannoli Capone's good graces are going to be the norm for the immediate future.
The corporate fascist M$M is operating exactly as intended. Arbitrarily selected talking heads regurgitate slogans and thought-cancelling buzzwords at us from the safe space of an air-conditioned studio instructing us commoners to blame each other for the crimes of the privileged.
Copy, Paste, Record, Spam It, Post it on Every Social Media You're still on before it completely disappears from the Public Eye, Put it in Their Face, Rub Their Nose in It!
Loyal “The View” er. My husband watches too! And we record bc we hate to miss a thing.
Local ABC lunch news Briefly covered Smith’s report and the defense secretary interview close to the top of the hour. Very little information.
UN FUCKINGGGG BELIEVABLE HOW RIGGED IT ALL IS AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THEY UNITED STATES CORPORATE MEDIA HIDE THE TRUTH AND SPEWWWW TRUMPIAN LIES FOR 🩸💰.
I disagree. I think their major problem was that those who reported facts presented them as opinions. Using MSNBC as an example, Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow have hit the nail on the head plenty of times, but their overall demeanor leaned more towards condescension than of neutral objectivity
True, although I believe their previous lawsuits forced themselves to define Fox as an entertainment network. Not sure what grounds they have to still call it “Fox News” though
Republicans/Fox News set the agenda for all media. 20 years of personal attacks eventually dragged her down to be a target, most media viewed her election as inevitable and wanted to show they would be tough on her.
So much for deep dive, hard hitting journalism. Morning media isn’t news, it’s grievance and fluff entertainment, pandering to the convicted felon-elect.
We haven’t watched msm since the early hours of 11/06. The house is quiet, sometimes music instead of the news. Spend my mornings reading & lately on Bluesky. The inner peace, the clarity of how to move forward, is very rewarding.
This is why we shut it all off except our local non Sinclair local stations and get clips on yt. Starve them including Ms 'I decided to end my vacation because trump won' Maddow
* especially MSNBC.
They officially jumped the shark after the Biden debate last year. They literally helped get Trump re-elected with their bashing of Biden, non-coverage of Kamala, and constant coverage of Trump.
NOW TRUMP WILL FINISH DESTROYING THEM . AND NOBODY WILL HAVE AN OUNCE OF PITY .
TRAITOROUS SELLOUTS FOR THE$$
HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOURSELF. SURE THAT THEY WILL BE COMIN CALLING ON YOU .
So sue me, I took artistic liberties with the truth, but the fact remains they flew to Floriduh and kissed his ring and probably his AH ring as well. They totally submitted to him. I have zero respect for them.

Rachel Maddow talked about it last night on MSNBC

I honestly can not wrap my brain around it. I really can't.

Not sure how long it’ll stay at the top, but it was at those places.
Roku, Fire TV, Direct TV.
If you want the truth, this is the place to be.
You still don’t think Trump has a continuous group chat going on with ALL of these Mainstream media Execs?
If dialog and negotiation can save our democracy I support it.

It’s why I stopped watching msm on November 6.

Soon to be everyday events.
That's why I no longer watch cable news.
It's too little, too late, and at this point, is only there to taunt us with could-have-beens.
Here's the management.
You know who discussed the report?
The View.
I didn't watch it, but recorded it, because I was actually reading the report when it came on.
I'm quite impressed the ladies are taking this seriously.

Nothing to see here.
Thanks for asking
We'll know how bad it's being ignored or not by later today.
It is all about the hearing of an unqualified man for DOD to match the unqualified felon they helped elect. 🤬
No TV news for me today.
Then, surprisingly, they were reporting on my local station!
Thank you @koin6.bsky.social! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hesgeth is sucking up all the helium in the room right now.
