MSNBC is committing journalistic malpractice.

[OliverQ]

Their chyron a few seconds ago was Bloomberg is considering Hillary as a running mate. That came from the Drudge Report and Washington Examiner - both far-right trash rags.

Why is MSNBC amplifying that nonsense?

1. MSNBC always goes far right on weekends.

[Squinch]

2. But can you imagine the heart attack it gave Filthy Donnie?

3. It's Bloomberg bashing time!!! Maybe some support will come back to Biden ..where it belongs!

I actually had to turn the channel...they angry young pundits just screaming their heads off about Bloomberg is annoying and off putting.

4. Why does anyone trust MSNBC?

[not_the_one]

12. Our choices are few, we take what we can get.

That is the reality.

Rachel more than makes up for any "must give both sides" justification.

13. Depends on who's on BUT

I do like MSNBC and CNN! Both have their good moments and BAD!!

5. media is no friend of democrats or democracy is the reason

6. It's just gossip but I hope it infects His Lardship's tiny brain.

I can't imagine Hillary taking the job. And there's another catch: They are both residents of the same state. The president and VP can't be from the same state.

7. I actually agreed with the person that said it was probably started by

Bloomberg's campaign.

There's an old article from 2016 talking about his potential run for president. And this is exactly the strategy they suggested. Because to many who are native NYers and people more familiar with policies he supported, he is not going to be seen as a suitable candidate. The suggestion was for him to pick a VP early, one that would make him look good to people that might find him disqualifying. My money is on his campaign started this rumor.

8. Because it's MSNBC.

That's what they do. Not just amplify nonsense, create it too.

9. Right Wing Media

has gained legitimacy in the past three years because of the Orange Anus.

Again,it is the Producers and Copy Writers who run the so called Infotainment at 24/7 Cable News.

Got a whole ton of attention didn't it.

Trying to create a False Equivalency story which they tend to do on a daily basis.

It's called the Hook.

[The Genealogist]

10. Infotainment indeed

Maybe I am looking back on the past with rose colored glasses, but it seems like at one time news was simply reported, without an "analyst" or a "contributor" to spin every single story. I know that there have always been figures like this, but it seems simply reporting the news has gone the way of the dodo.

11. Having had a

Family member working the Copy Desk as well as a Contributor on Script writing which btw,goes to the Teleprompters on set,ones creative writing skills is were it is at.


Gets tough watching and listening to local and National News at times. One picks up the Hooks planted by the script writer and the little hidden Management agenda adjectives and adverb placement with in those text.
