Media

The last two afternoons/evenings I've waded back into listening to MSNBC--Nicole, Joy, Chris Hayes, Lawrence. It is not like they have lightened up on Trump. And I am far from an MSNBC apologist (if you could see the letters I've written to them over the last 8 months...).

In no way, shape or form have are they pulling punches Trump that I can tell. Best of all, I don't think I've heard a single word about the Hunter pardon. You can quibble with what certain guests say with respect to the Monday morning quarterbacking about the election. Mostly they are focused on cabinet nominations and current state legislation that suppresses voting, anti-trans, etc... Ruth Ben-Ghiat and Timothy Snyder were on yesterday.

To be fair, this notion that MSNBC has become a Trump appeaser just isn't factually accurate, at least for the afternoon/evening. (I can't speak to The 11th Hour, Morning Joe and that really stinky stretch in the late morning and early afternoon, which I don't listen to).

Just trying to be fair about this. Now, Morning Joe may be another matter. That is another show I don't listen to.
