24. Networks are not going to replace their prime-time scheduled shows with Democratic townhalls.

Last night's MSNBC program was not really a "Town Hall" it was a commentary on what the Republicans are doing to our National Government with terminated government employees to provide real life experiences.

MSNBC is a news network and this was/is news. I agree it was an excellent program to show how Trump is ruining people's lives, both directly and indirectly, but no major network NBC, CBS or ABC would televise it. And unfortunately, very few or no Republican/Trumpster would be caught dead watching MSNBC. So it was like preaching to the choir. Even the evening news on the major networks gives superficial reporting on Trump's /Musk's effort to destabilizes and destroy our government. The networks are too scared to report negative Trump news.

When I opened up my PC this morning and went to the MSN front page.....no mention of last night's msnbc "Town Hall".

The only way we're going to get national coverage now is through paid advertising on the major networks.
