Boo, hiss for not saying what the expletive was. They actually played a video of him sitting in his golf cart saying something about her, but bleeped the offensive words. WHY?
You know, the media has taken up Peter Baker's accusation that Biden is wrapped in bubbled wrap. What do they call this? They are shielding cheato from his own words.
After torrents of anti Biden angst, this is how they attempt to balance things out?
Week sauce, MSNBC.

(7,939 posts)Yes, the news protects him and feeds his ego, thinking he is untouchable. Me the funny part is that TSF believes it.

(18,733 posts)They've aired Bill Barr and Nicole Wallace saying "bullshit", so they should air Trump's words.

(18,733 posts)Cable stations do not use the broadcast spectrum, so the FCC's jurisdiction is either extremely limited or non-existent.

(18,733 posts)is a good business decision for MSNBC.
They would lose their viewership.
Edit to add: Also, cable stations have contracts with their advertisers that probably prohibit doing it.

(20,256 posts)I think I'll skip it. In spite of my OP, I have a weak stomach when it comes to him speaking. I would have watched it, but you thoughtfully provide the transcript too, so I thank you for that!

(105,866 posts)-- or better yet petition the Admins to change the rules. No one here has broken any existing rules--certainly not me in responding to the OP's question.
If you don't want to see anything referencing TSF then you'd better learn to use the ignore functions. We have an election coming up and he is the damned enemy. Ignorance is NOT bliss.

(8,980 posts)except for Joy Reid They've all been beating the "Biden frail/old/senile/needing replaced" shit.
One of the guests last night was saying: "Oh! If Biden's replaced the dems are still going to vote for the top of their ticket."
THE HEIGHT OF STUPIDITY!!! Of course Dems will vote for the ticket no matter who (duh! ) .
But all those millions and millions of swing voters and independents and disaffected republicans aren't going to RALLY around the dem ticket for some Johnny-come-lately like the democrats would!!! Millions and millions of them would stay home. Allegiance and support aren't a given, but right now, people who are not happy about trump, are definitely leaning toward Biden/Harris, because they are a known quantity during a time of upheaval in the country.
And MSNBC pundits, for the greatest part, have totally failed to identify the dangers of what the oligarchs are selling them. Chris started to come around last night because his contrarian nature wouldn't allow him to just go with the crowd. Joy Reid, alone, has seen through the crap since right after the shock of the debate wore off.
On edit: all this is, of course, just my take on things, based on how many times I've wanted to throw furniture at the tv.
senseandsensibility
(20,256 posts)But I agree, many of them have been disappointing.
BComplex
(8,980 posts)but no doubt Lawrence has been at this long enough that he has a broader perspective than the others.
senseandsensibility
(20,256 posts)Perfect time for me.
BComplex
(8,980 posts)then life gets in the way, and I start watching too late, and don't go back to finish what I missed of Lawrence the night before.
Since I've totally quit watching Nicole and Alex, because I couldn't stand their and their guests' sabotaging of the Biden administration, I think I'll start going back to my recordings of Lawrence.

(18,733 posts)Cable stations are not licensed by the FCC because they do not use the broadcast spectrum (airwaves).

(13,303 posts)Rules have probably not been updated since the advent of cable TV, but MSNBC might be playing it "safe" with the famous "NBC Censor"
HOWEVER! Media have been burying the dirt on TCF for ages, sometimes for monetary reward (there's proof of that) or whatever other reason.
Just when I thought that the blackmail of the century was some ritual that TCF was part of (see "Eyes Wide Shut" ) he was up to much worse. It will be damn tough to hide this "worse than worse" info, and the tabloids were on it long ago.
Or "Wag the Dog". (courtesy of Roger Ebert)
In the movie, a U.S. president is accused of luring an underage "Firefly Girl" into an anteroom of the Oval Office, and there presenting her with opportunities no Firefly Girl should anticipate from her commander in chief.

(7,176 posts)No, Donald, you didn't. What you did was expose disloyal Dems. Go ahead and think that. You think you got Joe kicked out, and now you plan to work on Kamala. We see you. We know what you are doing.
But, as you think you have completed a job on Joe, you'll look away, having misunderstood what is going on. And, we'll get you.
Look at that, Donnie Two Scoops thinks that Kamala can't kick his ass. Usually, underestimating your opponent gets a person in trouble. Donald, I think that you will be in jail during the polling. Just a guess.
