MSNBC Hosts

They seem to have started a campaign that appears to be catching on. Stop sanewashing Trump. I hope it really does catch on and they can bully the MSM into doing the right thing.
What I still wish all would do, including MSNBC, is to report what he did or said and the. Move on to what Kamala said and did today. People are missing exposure to her while they fixate on him.

Share with us msm the Harris equivalent of trump nonsense. Just to be fair. Oh your bosses are buddies with trump and not Harris? Please forgive me for asking. How unfair of me.

And Joy Reid had on Instagram, and I’ve seen Stephanie Ruhle express frustration about it.

10. much of the msm just takes notes and prints what trump claim is the truth as the truth. For example

trump says he knows a lot about the economy and he and elon musk will together fix the economy. Then the msm states "trump says he knows a lot about the economy and he and musk will together fix the economy".

So nothing about all the bankruptcies, the fact that he can't have a non profit in New York. The fact that he is a felon because of financial improprieties. No lets all just imply trump and musk who destroyed twitter are the two financial brainiacs in this world.

I hate the msm.

They only started doing this after Lawrence O'Donnell called everybody in the media out on how Trump was being treated by them.

I rarely watch cable news lately, but when I do, it is usually The Last Word.

Their viewership is tiny in a national sense and people watching are voting for Kamala anyway.

I think them calling out others is having an effect. I noticed a few non MSNBC online journalists starting to confront this.

I have watched very little cable news the past few months. After the way Joe Biden was treated by most of the mainstream media, I have had enough. There are other ways to keep informed and they aren't as redundant and predictable cable news.

Not MSNBC, but I notice that the NYT current lead story on their website is Peter Baker’s news analysis article related to this topic: As Debate Looms, Trump Is Now the One Facing Questions About Age and Capacity. It mentions that his “rambling, sometimes incoherent public statements have stirred concern among voters.”
