Is all focused on the debate tonight. Shameful self promotion when do much is happening elsewhere.

Alternating doses of outrage and satisfaction, pumping you up with the same tired, regurgitated platitudes that reinforce your positions then hitting you with something to piss you off.

Cable news isn’t about actual news or analysis, it’s staged conflict to keep the punters engaged. Honestly, it’s professional wrestling for the self-declared intellectual set, with body slams and chokeholds and heel turns and endless preening and shouting.

Read a paper. It’ll take you twenty minutes to learn more than MSNBC will teach you in a week, and you won’t miss anything without the faux-outrage and histrionics of the 24-hour news cycle.

Personally, and for some time now, I have to stop myself from going into an impotent, frustrated rage whenever thinking about it.

They don't care.

They don't even care enough to at least pretend to be solemn and respectful of the issue.

I would have lost my mind. How on earth can people be so callous and evil. I swear, I hate Chuck Todd already. If I had seen that, I might just go vigilante.

When M$$$$$$$$$NBC goes to commercial or starts praising refucklicans I just push a button and am greeted with 40s junction or All Blues. Classical or Broadway is there if I need it.
CNN or Fox News ------ NEVER
