Nicolle Wallace just hit the nail on the head

[oregonjen]

In covering Jack Smith’s new filing to gag Trump, she posed the question she faces, how should the media, including her own show, discuss what Trump posts and what he says. Giving him a platform allows Trump to give orders to his base.

Allowing Trump a platform, without calling him out on his lies, gives him the ability to taint the jury pool and threaten those involved in the cases he has been indicted. Kristen Welker and NBC, need to think twice about airing the interview on MTP this weekend.

Nicolle’s show today was amazing. You can see and hear her frustration and she is correct, a second Trump term would eliminate her job and the job of everyone at MSNBC and the rest of the news organizations that provide factually correct news.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. I'm used to her show being impressive, but she reached an even higher level today.

[LuckyCharms]

2. I applaud Nicole for at least raisng the real question...

"what should the media do".

Trump needs to be muzzled, so the media doesn't have a choice about airing his bullshit.

Trump muzzled = nothing for the media to cover.

[oregonjen]

3. Trump second term equals no free press

She knows it and voiced it today.

[dweller]

4. Maybe the media could

STOP SHOWING DOZENS OF PICTURES OF THE TRAITOR AND FUTURE FELON EVERY TIME THEY BROADCAST A STORY ABOUT HIM !!

😐

✌🏻

[MOMFUDSKI]

17. And often with his hands raised

in the FIST position. Makes me crazy. Who is deciding this? Why - it is Corporate America. Surprise!!!

[PortTack]

20. Totally agree! It would be nice, and I have raised the idea here that we do not post pics of tfg

We’re all sick to death of seeing that worthless pos.

[Mr. Evil]

22. Maybe they could present a story about him like this:

(They show his picture) "And this lunatic criminal opened his mouth again today. A whole lot of stupid fell out."

[homegirl]

27. AMEN!

Even the non FOX media has given Donald Trump Billions of dollars of free coverage. They should ban his image and voice.

[Lunabell]

5. If there's a gag order,

can we use an actual gag?

[Attilatheblond]

7. Retired psych nurse pal suggested a ball gag when he was first campaigning

She had a point.

[prodigitalson]

26. Ball gag

Is what I was thinking too.

[BigmanPigman]

6. I wish her show would be on later

in the evening. Living on the west coast we just get reruns after 9PM.

[Hekate]

11. California here. We DVR Nicolle's show, which comes on at 1:00pm, so we can watch it whenever

One in the afternoon is usually convenient for me, unless I have an appointment elsewhere. That’s when the DVR comes in handy. Same with Rachel on Monday evening at 6pm. I’m going to try to DVR Jose Diaz Belart, who is very impressive but comes on much too early for me.

[BigmanPigman]

24. I've DRVed it several times

but the problem is that I always get the most current news after her show so by the time I do see the recorded shows it is no longer current. Years ago the really important news wasn't changing as quickly as it has in the last 7 years. Since 2016 a lot has changed as far as viewing is concerned.

[Hekate]

25. You're quite right about that. If I can't get home until after dark, I just let it go. It's a long...

…program, and the next day comes soon enough.

[ZonkerHarris]

12. it's all online after the show

[nevergiveup]

8. She was absolutely excellent today

[2naSalit]

9. For starters...

MSNBC needs to cancel the upcoming MTP show and or air other interviews with other people because they are going to be giving him a platform and they fucking know it.

[Rebl2]

21. For sure

Too bad they didn’t choose Nicole to host MTP. Don’t care for Welker after the last few years.

[2naSalit]

23. Same here.

10. Here's the video for those who missed it:

[Duppers]

14. Thank you, thank you!!

I did miss her program, so I do appreciate your link.

[Rhiannon12866]

15. She really was on fire today and she had the best guests there to discuss this!

[Marthe48]

13. Don't play audio or video recordings of traitor

If traitor does anything that should be reported, read it out from a printed transcript.

[crickets]

35. They don't have to show a picture either.

We all know what his face looks like. There's no need to see it again. Ever.

[Marthe48]

36. Amen to that!

They could show a picture of a sinkhole and it'd be perfect

[Evolve Dammit]

16. Nicholle is awesome. For years now. We know from dogs, toddlers and sociopaths: Negative attention

is way better than no attentions. Orange Anus knows the media sphere.

[ecstatic]

18. Exactly. If trump gets in again, I believe a lot of people will die

He will be putin times 1,000.

True, MSNBC will be the first to go, but fox news, oan and newsmax will feel his wrath too. It'll be like that Twilight zone episode with the thin skinned boy with the crazy powers. I hope they realize that. Even the republicans on the hill who kiss his ass everyday will be harmed by him the very first time they step out of line.

[DownriverDem]

19. Call NBC

Leave a message expressing how you feel about MTP giving trump a platform. 212-664-4444 I did.

[tiredtoo]

32. Done, thanks for the number. eom

[Wild blueberry]

28. Nicolle does an excellent job

Also appreciate her continuing coverage of stories that actually matter to people, like mental health, gun safety, women's health, and the war against Ukraine.
Thank you.

[flying_wahini]

29. I know I feel the same but it's all about Trump ALL the time. Cover anything else but him.

We have other issues like poverty, wages that can’t pay bills, out of control climate warming.
The list is endless.
Then cover something else.

[MiHale]

30. If trump wins...

Quite soon after he’s in office…I predict there will only be ONE news station, he will quash the others. What or who that station will be, who knows, but it will be a trump branded one.

GOTV!

[wnylib]

31. Is that the show where she she said, on air,

that "the shit is about to hit the fan"?

Yes, it was a great show.

[oregonjen]

34. Yes, indeed, she was absolutely awesome

[bonniebgood]

33. Nicolle's Question should be asked to her corporate Bosses. Bosses can't

have it both ways. Money and and a Threat to end MSNBC shows.
