My latest piece @thenation.com is called "MSNBC's DEATH RATTLE". It's about the new boss, the recent firings, and my own 20 year history appearing on the network. I try to connect it to Bezos murdering the Wash Post the same week and assessing the dual significance www.thenation.com/article/soci... - ThreadSky

I agree.

Excerpt: "What’s hilarious about the exceedingly plastic 61-year-old Bezos is that no matter how old he gets, he always looks like he’s enduring a mid-life crisis. When he’s 80, he’ll probably still be overcompensating by buying yet another penis-shaped car"

MSNBC is treating these loyal, hosts the way Musk treats fed workers: slash, burn, and end up with what I promise will be a manufactured failure. In MSNBC’s case, they will settle on a CNN-esque product that nobody watches unless their plane is delayed in Charlotte

You must have never seen Michael Steele, Alicia menendez and Simone sanders on the weekend. They are great. And who ever heard of you anyway or cares what you think?

To whom is this addressed? It’s not entirely clear.

They will miss you a lot more than you’ll miss them. Bravo.

Who cares what you think? Who had ever even heard of you? Alicia Michael and Symone have a great show which you’ve obviously never watched. Why talk about Alicia’s dad?

edgeofsports.bsky.social•15 hours ago

You sound like the new oped editor of the Washington Post, whose new slogan is, "Who cares what you think?"

Grow up

Zing!

I will keep pounding this table, the low ratings have more to do with burnout than programming. I have been a regular watcher of evening shows off and on in the background usually (esp Joy, Chris, Maddow). We haven't watch since the election because its too depressing and we can keep up other ways.

edgeofsports.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Absolutely! It’s why Fox is up now.

It is just such ass backwards logic. People tune in for the diverse viewpoints, they're cutting off their nose to spite their face. It is an especially bad look as the new admin tries to re-segregate the country.

Excellent.

This the biggest takeaway of this article for me. There was no attack on them. No legislation, no real lawsuits. They bent the knee because they WANTED TO BEND THE KNEE. For their own political gain!

edgeofsports.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Appreciate you reading!

You are a troll

edgeofsports.bsky.social•15 hours ago

As the non-anonymous person of the two of us, I take exception to that.

cotswoldy.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Ok. I apologise.
You were re...re Blueskyed by a guy that is repeating Russian talking points and propaganda.

I apologise. I put that comment on his repost so he'd see it. Probably a rampant MAGA bustard- so I apologise to you.

edgeofsports.bsky.social•14 hours ago

Don't apologize too much! La lucha continua!!!!

Great piece Dave! I’m saddened to say that I agree with every word, that it’s come to that. The right’s greatest con is that our media is controlled by liberal biases. It’s becoming overwhelmingly controlled by people as anti-democracy as Murdoch.
