The Real timschochet

Do you keep your kids away from Santa Claus too?

Haley will not win New Hampshire. I’m guessing she gets around 38%. Trump with 45-50%.

Do you ever get tired of the “only joking” excuse? As for the audience laughing, what usually happens is that they’re shocked that he said something and they laugh uncertainly. Like when he “joked” about Paul Pelosi getting beaten up.

They’re all sexy in their own way. Dim the lights a little I’m game.

Im not trolling. I really am a big fan.

This is a misrepresentation of what actually happened. I don’t want to derail the current discussion by going back into this but you’re completely off base here.

Not exactly. The reason she said that is because Trump said the other day that everyone had to go out and vote in order to “save this country” and if you got sick and died it was worth it. So Behar’s response, while way over the top, wasn’t without context. What Trump said was even more over the top.

So long as the ratings are high, sure. And while she’s a bit over the top, it’s not all nonsense.

Which is what exactly? If I owned MSNBC, and my goal was ONLY to make money, I would do everything in my power to try and help Trump win the election. You know why? Because Trump as President generates far more ratings than Biden does. Biden is dull. Thats why all is this “MSNBC wants to help Democrats win” is such nonsense.

Well of course. But, as it happens, they do inform.

Such an awesome person. I went and saw the drag show in Vegas, had an outstanding time. I’m glad RuPaul spoke out. What a queen.

I haven’t forgotten anything. The Mueller investigation was a huge news story and was reported heavily as a result. Was it reported fairly? I think so.

Of course. All newscasts have to decide what to report. Their main goal is ratings.

This isn’t true at all. On several occasions I was watching a press conference or speech by Biden that was showing on CNN and MSNBC and out of curiosity switched to Fox News- they didn’t show it. Which BTW is their prerogative. I’ve got no problem with it.

I’ve said that their news reporting is accurate. Same for Fox News.

She doesn’t like Donald Trump.

The Republican base wants an end to immigration (starting with illegal immigration but eventually all of it), an end to America’s international commitments, and high tariffs on international trade. These positions aren’t exactly “far right”, but they’re the reason Trump is loved and Haley is not.

Probably because you’re unaware of the historical context of that statement? Hillary wasn’t imitating a black person, she was quoting one, the exact words of a legendary elderly woman who was determined to maintain the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 however long it took to change policy. Hillary was celebrating that triumph and those words, and the crowd she spoke to understood that and appreciated it.

Incidentally, I disagree with Maddow’s argument. I would have shown Trump’s speech and then dissected it, pointing out the obvious untruths. But what they chose to do instead is hardly worth the condemnation or wrongful analysis it’s receiving here.

Censorship is a regular function of news broadcasts and in itself not troubling. Only when government gets involved does it become a bad thing. And nobody is stopping you from making up your own mind. Nobody is forcing you to watch Rachel Maddow which goes to my earlier point about boycotting MSNBC. There were numerous ways you could have watched Trump last night if you wanted to. There is no suppression of speech going on here.

Read the responses by Hardcore and Dizknee. Not sure they would stick with that in the end but I think it’s indicative of Trump’s base: they want a total rejection of the old type of Republican- the sort they label “RINOs”. If nothing else Trump understands his base well. He will not choose Haley or anyone like her ever again.

Right about what? Im not a huge fan of Rachel. I can take her or leave her. She's not a deliberate liar IMO, but she’s heavily biased. She’s no journalist. MSNBC’s on-air personalities are mostly opinion makers and not journalists. There are some exceptions- I would label Andrea Mitchell a journalist for example. But mostly they discuss the news in a manner consistent with the perspective of their core base, which is liberal. I’ve never claimed otherwise. But I don’t believe they deliberately lie and the news that is reported is accurate and can be trusted. I think the same is largely true for Fox News.

This will not happen.

I think all of you should probably boycott MSNBC.

Lions cover. Bills cover. Ravens and 49ers win but don’t cover.
