52. Apparently This I A Comment That MSNBC Is Pushing!

Mon Oct 5, 2015, 03:11 PM

Oct 2015

Listening to Thom Hartmann Show, and he actually mentioned your post here "merrily," but someone else just called in and said the commentator who was on the last hour said the very same thing. Since I don't watch MSNBC anymore I don't know who the host was, but this factoid may be smoothing that EVERY MSNBC host is going to repeat. I do hope that they get bombarded by calls who can EXPLAIN the reasons that "make" it seem like he supports NRA. AND, they need to be told to do RESEARCH and find out what grade the NRA give him. They need to be told IF they are going represent themselves as journalist rather than mouth piece gossips they should do their homework before they report UNTRUTHS as facts!

What is the best number to call because it isn't only Andrea Mitchell's show?
