29. They're also great at manufacturing a faux scandal, and keeping it in the headlines. Something WE have to learn to do.

Remember the crap about Obama's Birth Certificate? Faux Noise kept that running as a top story for Obama's entire first term. Now they're doing the same thing with the faux scandal 'coverup' of the White House staff, and Biden's alleged senility.

Bullshit! Two can play at that game.
-How about a TIME CLOCK on WHEN Pam Blondie is going to release the Epstein files. Every night, "It's been 90 days since Pam Bondi promised to release the Epstein files. Where are they? What is the Trump Justice Department trying to hide?

-How about a TIME CLOCK on Trump's TAX returns. He's blathered about them being under audit for 16 years. But that's never been a reason to not disclose them.

--How about a TIME CLOCK on when Jim 'Jacket-off' Jordan is going to answer the Congressional subpoena he's been ignoring for six years.

--How about a TIME CLOCK on that chickenshit SEAN HANNITY, when he claimed that waterboarding isn't torture (during the Bush Jr Administration) and VOLUNTEERED to be WATERBOARDED for VETERAN'S CHARITY. (Keith Olberman even volunteered to donate $1000 to Hannity's favourite charity for EVERY SECOND he can take being waterboarded. I want to see MSNBC mention that every night!)

There are DOZENS of GENUINE scandals that MSNBC, or even those cowards at CNN can put front and centre, which would generate ratings indefinitely. So, why aren't we encouraging that?


PS- "They privately celebrate those assassinations. " Sometimes they're not even private about it! Do you remember when that stupid chimpanzee, Brett Baier, put up a graph showing what happens to the stock market every time there is a prominent blue on black death (George Floyd, Treyvon Martin etc.)? Just trying to convey the message that blue on black violence is okay, because it never harms the stock market. After this made even the FOX audience puke, Baier had to apologize for it.
