To MSNBC: Please stop showing pictures of trump and family

I usually watch MSNBC if I am going to watch a news/commentary at all but I can hardly tolerate the pictures they keep flashing of trump and his minions (family are minions too). Their images disgust me. Add to that Bill Barr and Rudy Guliani. They are reprehensible human beings that don't need to be seen to be discussed. Every time they show their pictures I have to reach for a barf bag. Next time show a picture of a sloth with a trump wig. At least that would give some amusement to an otherwise dismal situation.

press attention than the current President. I guess the MSM misses him.

5. Yes. On another site I frequent, it seems as if 90% of the articles are either about Trump or

Trump-related. He probably has someone on staff who monitors how many times his name comes up on the internet per day. I think I am going to try to ignore him unless the article has his name + indicted or + imprisoned.

they mention his name they put up his picture. The same things happen on the Late Night Shows like Fallon and Meyers.

They need to stop it and not give TFG more attention the he deserves.

ALL the time. They apparently think it helps their ratings ( which are in the crapper, gee I wonder why) but it doesn't help my stomach!

12. I've stopped watching MSNBC about 95% of the time. It's helpful for the problem you described.

I still DVR Rachel and Lawrence and fast forward through pieces of it selectively. I turned CNN off while they were slaughtering Biden’s approval rating with their Afghanistan “botched withdrawal” narrative and haven’t returned since.

I think I get the ways of the world now on my own without needing cable “news” to understand it all. I can pretty much script it from this point forward. The Right and the M$M have revealed enough of what they are all about.

I keep up with breaking news stories here on DU.
