Maybe we could start a separate forum for people to complain about MSNBC/CNN TV News hosts all day long? [View all]

Since some people insist on watching them (yes, they make bad choices) and complaining about them every damned day.
Let's clear some of this fluff out of GD.
Give them their own forum to whine about the latest interview or comment from the idiot talking heads.
It's a good idea whose time has come.

A very small handful are constantly problematic--the rest make occasional mistakes/missteps. We DO know the difference. hlthe2b Dec 2024 #10

Going after them doesn't help because you have to watch to do that and the networks love that ZonkerHarris Dec 2024 #13
