I turned on MSNBC just now...to check on the daily shootings...

Instead, I got an NBC poll that people are unhappy with Biden, country headed the wrong way, etc, etc...

WTF do people WANT, anyway?

15. So your conclusion after a few seconds is that they didn't discuss shootings?

You know that you don't get to choose what the news covers at any given moment right? Here is a video from 4 days ago:



It looks like MSNBC is currently covering the Tyre Nichols murder heavily. Hopefully that's OK with you. https://www.youtube.com/@msnbc/videos

Of course, you can always leave them feedback: https://www.msnbc.com/information/msnbc-info/contact-us-n1301857

16. I wasn't talking about the shootings. I keep close track of them...

I was remarking that the polls show that Murikans want unicorns and love magical thinking.... not reality.

9. MSNBC and the rest of cable news

is owned and managed by right wing oligarchs.

I don't have one problem since I limited my cable news viewing to Nicolle Wallace.

I did listen to Stephanie Miller today, and I try to tune in to Thom Hartmann.

10. NBC News literally has his approval at 46%.

Not great but those are pretty good numbers all things considered.

17. Someone posted a bumper sticker a few days ago.

It said something like: the mainstream media is only as liberal as the wealthy oligarchs who own it. I quit watching the McGreedia in 1984.

Steve Kornacki breaking it down at the big board and and I proceeded to turn it off and have had my music on all day instead. MSNBC lost a viewer Sirius gained a listener….Joe had already had and of course kept my vote! So MSNBC, you are the biggest loser! 💙

but you know what they say, if horses were wishes......

24. Biden numbers are up actually. And

Wrong direction questions cut both ways. MSNBC can F off with their phones polls.

25. I keep seeing the "country headed the wrong way" polling thing, no details, as if this has

to mean everyones blames Biden, or at best both sides. Of course Republicans ALWAYS say the county is headed in the wrong direction when there's a Democratic president. They said the economy was terrible and gloom and doom in 2016 when polled, then the next year it was terrific and everything was coming up roses.

Reminds me of the John Kerry/G.W. Bush election when voters said morals were one of the most important issues, news never explaining that for Republicans that meant the wedge issues of gays/abortion and for Democrats meant the Iraq War was immoral.

26. I wish they'd sample the respondents' reasoning on that.

In many ways I feel like the country is moving in the wrong direction, too. But I'm thinking things like increasing gun violence and wild west carry laws, suppression of school studies, regression on reproductive rights, so on and so forth. I imagine on the other side of the aisle they feel like the country is moving in the wrong direction because of 'wokism,' 'open borders,' 'CRT,' 'rigged elections,' and other imaginary ills.
