15. I get your point, but I prefer their method of simply not having her on

One reason is selfish--I just can't bear to listen to her. So I change the channel. So they lose a viewer, at least for one segment, and for longer if I stay on MSNBC or the BBC.

And another reason is that she's lying all over the place to all kinds of people, so they don't need to give her their valuable air time; they can just report later on what she said and how it's a lie. Saves all of us time, and doesn't give her a pulpit.
