Campaign speech in PA like it's some kind of fucking breaking news???
The media needs to get the shit beat out of them when sane people gain back control of this godforsaken country.
This is the kind of shit that ensured this fuckwads election.
I'm surprised they didn't start an hour early showing us a fucking empty podium.
Please MSNBC... just give me two minutes on one of your panels

This is like the 2016 campaign all over again. They would show 20 min of an empty stage and podium waiting for the fucking moron to appear all for ratings $$$$$$$$. Meanwhile Hillary wanted to discuss the real issues and couldn't get any air time. BOYCOTT BOTH CNN and MSNBC or better yet, email them. If they keep this up the midterms are lost. I have had it with the corporations selling this shit!

(51,627 posts)I called both stations to complain and was able to leave a mess with CNN but MSNBC was all full so I tried Rachel's mailbox/extension and that was full too. I am REALLY pissed off and this is not the end of it! I will be calling and emailing them (but we all need to).

(206,012 posts)I missed Rachel last night, so I was really happy to get a second chance to see her. I was just settling in and getting interested in what she was saying when this "breaking news" suddenly interrupted with nothing more important than that orange moran standing on stage, smirking and clapping for himself! I changed the channel.

(5,271 posts)So I turned it off. MSNBC calling his same old shit campaign rally propaganda "breaking news" is ludicrous.

(51,627 posts)CNN let me leave a mess. (404)827-1500 which I did. MSNBC (212)664-6605 wouldn't let me so I went to Rachel's ext. and the mailbox was full.
I AM IRATE!

(31,261 posts)I said nothing about the tv coverage. The unfortunate reality is that Presidents get more media coverage than non Presidents.
But head to head, Biden would beat Trump up worse than he did Lyin Ryan in 2012.

Did they give Biden's support for Conor Lamb the same amount of coverage?
Hell no.
KY_EnviroGuy
(14,494 posts)that Conor Lamb would be justified in demanding equal free air time when a campaign stop (president or not) is for a specific candidate and televised on public airways. To me, it's the equivalent to an airtime campaign ad purchase. Plus, tRump's trips are paid for by the public.

(12,547 posts)and tell them you change the channel when you see Trump's face or hear his voice. Why is he getting free advertising? They think it gets them ratings, but it's just the opposite.

(6,977 posts)Not like this treasonous HOG. It's sickening, especially given the way he continues to ridicule and insult the media. But then again, we have a mostly complicit and corporate media so uh
Also, during the 2016 primaries one of the major networks (I forget whether it was MSNBC or CNN) showed an empty podium for about 20 minutes he was to be speaking at instead of covering Bernie Sanders who was giving a day of primary win speech. The HOG never showed up to speak, but the podium got plenty of air time

Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)But a Prez giving a campaign speech only a year after he took office is bizarre; maybe that's why they showed it. The Prez of the U S is news, I guess.

(15,351 posts)It was a fucking rally speech for some Nazi Retrumplican running for Congress in PA

(37,648 posts)Yeah...not newsworthy. That goes on all the time.
