CNN & MSNBC have a decision to make, and they have little time left [View all]

They need to STOP polluting their share of OUR airwaves with right wing drivel.

It is now more important than ever, to be able to tune in and see some truth and real news.

We are not now (or EVER were) even slightly amused/interested in hearing anything that comes out of the mouths of the right.

They HAVE "their channel", and that's the only channel they need.

It may have seemed "the right thing to do", to "fair & balance" things, but it really wasn't (see Iraq war)..and it may never be again. We all know what rightwingers think and are not interested in seeing them over-talk,interrupt and hog all the time.

Right-wingers are toxic, lying sycophants who will say anything they are told to say, even though they must know they are lying.

The bosses probably think that hedging their bets by showing "both sides" is the way to program, but for the people who are their true base, it's very off-putting, and has driven me to more BBC, and less MSNBC/CNN.
