Title: MSNBC Watch
Post by: WLJ on January 16, 2022, 09:39:09 AM
I often find the headlines over on MSNBC's frontpage amusing at times at how far detach from reality they are and other times down right scary.
Trump really needs to charge them rent.

Headlines for today include

How the 14th Amendment could block Trump's cronies from re-election

The absurd reason Jan. 6 rioters can't be charged with domestic terrorism

The RNC's new debate pledge is a cult-like tribute to Trump's incompetence

Americans point to the best president of the last 40 years in new poll (Guess who's far far out in front)

Another losing Republican candidate embraces election denialism

Trump appears to be turning on DeSantis. This could get interesting.

Democrats may be closer to saving voting rights, thanks to a Senate loophole

The GOP finally gave up its deceptive 'support' for voting rights

As someone who is on the right by default where I'm especially cautious and skeptical is while watching FOX News and Newsmax.

The propaganda and narrative policing can be more insidious when you aren't on guard and watching and being vigilant.

The enemy wants to herd the right into a metaphorical kill box.

Yep
I'm usually, or at least try to be, extra cautious when they're telling me what I want to hear. But sometimes I let my guard down and get caught up in a story that turns out to be BS.

I love that MSNBC is still completely focused on Trump.

I just hope that they're able to keep politicians they support focused on Trump in the way that they kept McAuliffe in Virginia focused on Trump.

Because, EVERYONE knows continually screeching TRUMP! TRUMP! TRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMPPPPPPPPPPP! when discussing any conservative candidate is a surefire path towards electoral success!

Still zero mention of the synagogue attack on their front page that I've seen unless I missed it at some point.

------------------

Trump just started pushing a very weird, new Jan. 6 conspiracy theory

Trump criticizes politicians who play shy about booster shots

Mitt Romney proves he's no different than his radical, conservative colleagues

'Manchinema' doesn't exist beyond the filibuster

MLK Jr. would've despised the GOP's 'anti-CRT' push. Just read his words.

Jan. 6 committee’s big tech subpoenas might be the GOP's biggest threat

Give me your condolences. Keep your questions about the departed's vaccine status.

The last American election? 2020 and the rise of the anti-democrats

I served the GOP for 20 years. The demise of democracy doesn't have 'both sides.'

How white supremacists are trying to fight the 'American evolution'

Considering he had only been in the US a couple weeks, I think the article is targeting the wrong country. 

That said, probably just a rehash of an older story used as filler.  Stuff like that makes me wonder if they have automated bots writing stories.  Many online stories aren't very long.

I could be wrong but I think they mean "the few years" to imply since Trump without actually mentioning his name.
You got to remember in their world there was no hatred and bigotry during the Obama years
Unless you count any criticism of Obama being automatedly labeled as such despite there being no hatred and bigotry.  :O

America's next mass migration could be underway. You can thank air conditioning.

From the article:

Quote
The states of the South, the Sun Belt and the Pacific Northwest have been gaining in population, while on the whole, the industrial Midwest and the Northeast have been losing population.

This unmistakable and consistent movement from places with freezing winters toward places with scorching summers is due to one of the single most important inventions in human history: the air conditioner.

They're moving to the Pacific Northwest to escape cold Winters? People here complain way more about Winter than they do about Summer (admittedly I'm the opposite) and we have pretty mild Winters in my part of Idaho. I hate Summer here, but use my AC in the Summer way less than I use my heater in the Winter.

The ratings say a lot.

February was a busy news month. There was the buildup to Biden’s SOTU address and Russia invaded Ukraine, among other things.

Cable news viewers favored FOX News over CNN and MSNBC and it wasn’t even close.

FOX News beat both other networks combined.

I watch FOX a lot - no, I don't blindly accept everything they say as gospel, but at least they're not actively hostile to this country the way CNN and MSNBC are.
