MSNBC is absolutely NOT "Fox Lite."

All anyone has to do is watch this morning’s Trump love-fest to understand that. Hugh Hewitt peaking with John Cornyn doing nothing but heaping praise upon Glorious Leader for his court pics and the overall great job he’s doing. Absolutely nauseating, and there is nothing remotely comparable on Fox which gives such unfettered airtime to the other side.

And yes, I know I can change the channel. But I happen to be in a hospital bed at the moment and just turned on the tv to get some news — MSNBC was on. But not for long.

Even Fox has a few Dems and anti-Trumpers.

If MSNBC becomes an echo chamber, regular people will take it less seriously.

radio talk host. It is almost like putting Rush on in the morning.

We don't need false equivalency to attract viewers. We don't need "balance" we need truth.

... tell the nurse you've had enough of whatever drug they're pumping in.

Other than that, best wishes on walking out of that place soon.
