We make a point of not listening to a liar or rewarding any news outlet that airs that shit.

MSNBC is losing us for Rachel and Lawrence by disrupting their normal broadcasting.

Granted, I live in NJ and listen to our wonderful Governor's briefing each day - so I get actual facts. A lot of Americans don't have that kind of leadership in their state house - or communication from their state leadership.

Trump is the president of the United States (yeah, I know, the worst in the history of the nation, yada, yada, yada).

Cuomo is the governor of New York, one of the fifty states.

MSNBC is a national news network. I admire Governor Cuomo, but he ain't the governor of my state. I have a minor interest in what he's doing to save the people of New York. If MSNBC is going to show Cuomo, then why aren't they showing snippets of the press conferences of the other 49 governors?

Oh, yeah, that's right. MSNBC is based in New York City, and there's really nothing between there and California.

The Management team in place are former Apprentice Producers and Managers. Do not forget,Comcast is one of Trumps largest Donors and as a result have access to the Oval via those millions.

Not going to go into the Comcast Management,but,they are all hard core Conservative persons with hard right agendas.

trump's daily campaign rallies are embarrassing and dangerous. Enough of this bullshit---give us a 5-minute summary of relevant scientific/medical updates at the end of the day, and spare us trump's rantings.
