As much as I know what's going on in cable news, it still never ceases to amaze just...

...how utterly manipulative and dystopian it is. For the past two days, MSNBC has been doing everything it can do to tear Cruz down while vaunting tRump. They (and more specifically their owners) are literally controlling who becomes the candidate for President of the United States of America. I know this is all obvious, so there's no need for self-serving snark about have I been asleep since forever, etc.

They are completely in the tank for tRump and it's actually quite scary watching it unfold with every single word and graphic and action. And they do it so shamelessly as to say "We know some of you can see exactly what we're doing here, but we don't care because there's NOTHING you can do about it. Just wait 'til you see what else we have in store, and you'll not be able to do anything about it - no matter how loud you scream or how many posts you make to social media."

Very few of Trumps supporters could be dragged to watch MSNBC if you chained their ass to a tractor.
Most of MSNBC's viewership and audience demographic would rather swim in an acid bath than vote for Trump.

...from what I read here MSNBC is in the tank for Clinton as well.

So what I want to know is have they given any indication of how they will lean in a possible Trump v. Clinton general election?

Puff up Trump so enough people will vote for Clinton out of fear.

What a way to get someone elected....
