I could be considered an MSNBC addict. Morning Joe in the AM, the back watching Nicole Wallace all the way through Lawrence O’Donnell.

I’m done with the whole network. I’m done with ALL the networks, and am calling for a boycott of any cable/dish/YTTV type service. Cut off the hand that feeds them.

I was shocked how they were fawning over the election results the morning after. Hopefully Maddow, O’Donnell and Wallace can find a new home with a backbone.

Expand full comment

Cannot even look at Maddow anymore since her treatment of President Biden.

Expand full comment

I was a huge fan of hers and then was saddened by her treatment of Obama. With ALL the other networks and people going after him, she needed to have been a voice pointing out what he was doing right.

Expand full comment

Not counting on Wallace leaving. I liked her, but I could see her, as a former Republican, bending to the knee too.

Expand full comment

I respectfully disagree with you. Nicole Wallace has not backed down in any way about Trump. Ron Filipkowski is a former republicon and an editor for Media's Touch. Do you believe he will kiss the ring?

Expand full comment

I agree and hopefully she goes somewhere else that isn’t associated with NBC. CNBC was already in bed and now it looks like MSNBC is following suit.

Expand full comment

Ron isn’t a host on MSM. That’s one big difference.

You may be right, that’s she’s enough of a Reagan Republican to not kiss the ring, but she might tone it down just enough to keep her job at MSNBC.

She's married to Michael Schmidt, New York Times writer. He is being sued by Assolini for $10 billion. So, it'll be interesting to see what she does. However, I'll have to read about it here because I'm only watching The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell at this point.

No- Nichole is not ever going to do that! You must not watch her much if you said that. It is absurd to punish excellent hosts for what one show did. That is ridiculous.

Expand full comment

I agree. Nicole and Lawrence are good reporters and don’t try to both side Trump’s craziness.

Don't forget Ali Velshi.

He’s already maga

I’m done with Morning Joe but still like Rachel, Lawrence, Jonathan, and others. I think we should support the “good ones.”

Let us help them find their new news home when they need to jump.

Yes/ these people that want to punish a whole network for Joe and Mika’s screw up is really throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Crazy!

Expand full comment

I was an addict too, not anymore. I'll stick with MTN

Expand full comment

Me too

Expand full comment

What a shame to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Nicole and Joy and Lawrence O'Donnell (especially) have been 100% truth tellers, principled, never wavering in calling out the evil and corrupt. I too am done with Joe and Mika. Will never watch again. But I'll follow Lawrence O'Donnell wherever he lands.

Expand full comment

I still like from Nicole Wallace on through the evening. I wouldn’t want to punish all those good hosts due to Joe and Mika’s screw up. I am not watching Morning Joe but some of the other shows are really excellent!

Expand full comment

Me too. I use my oxygen at times so I either read or tv. MSNBC Morning Joe u continue off & on until Nicole until Lawrence. Usually asleep middle of Lawrence. NO MORNNG JOE this am

Expand full comment

Agree with you Dela. Need to find a new outlet to get news first thing in the am. Would love suggestions but will continue to support excellent journalists at MSNBC like Rachel, Lawrence, Ali Velshi, Stephanie Rehl. Need to support those who are doing original reporting & bringing facts to listeners plus thoughtful & non Trump bias analysis.

Same. Having ad addictive personality, it didn't help to be addicted to MSNBC since 2012. But, I also quit cold turkey after the election. Instead, I'm not taping all things SPORTS! Have you ever watched "The Herd Live"? God I'm disgusted with national media. Oh, and I just today paid my subscription fee for Meidas. Cancelled WaPo months ago. NYT years ago.

Yes sirrry. I’ve been a cord cutter (dropped using any kind of satellite, cable or anything of the like), since 2017. Haven’t looked back. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. 😉

AGREED! 100%

I was as well. I did really enjoy "The Weekend" but not sure if I will ever watch it again.

I find the pathetic stance that they have taken is disgraceful. I felt like Jordy, that I had been cheated on, and actually had the same feelings as he mentioned even though I’m from Australia.

As I’ve said before many Australian’s support your movement., and will continue to do so !!! Matt from Australia 🇦🇺

Me too I'm in Australia and support with a paid sub.

I'm also an Aussie who was very disappointed by their actions. However what concerns me the most is that I have heard that they were under extreme pressure. If this is true, what can be done to assist other individuals targeted in such a manner?

Expand full comment

Yes Jennifer, you make a good point.

Expand full comment

I was expecting them to be apart of the resistance movement but I guess I was wrong about that.

Expand full comment

Big letdown. They are now phony journalists now! Joe and Mika could find a new home at fox, Newsmax or other trash media, but MSNBC has now slid to that level, so they can stay there.

Expand full comment

It’s called facism….control the media , chipping away at freedom of press / speech

Expand full comment

@Randell ... The Resistance doesn't need them. They've duplicated what Nikky Haley and Lindsey Graham did following Trump's impeachment magic act--and after loudly proclaiming (both of them) how "devastated" they were with his outlandish lawless immoral behavior.

The duo hopped a flight to Mar-A-LARDO to meet with the bloated one, kiss his ring and beg for forgiveness. Joe and Mika are duplicating the same behavior in a vain attempt to sooth the savage beast. Well, guess what? That's not going to happen and "we" don't want them back. In fact, they won't be able to get back. The bridge is out.

Expand full comment

I was as well. I am deeply disappointed in them.

Expand full comment

SNL said it all about Mika. "I am going to be ok."

Expand full comment

People do not understand that kissing the ring will not wash off the “disloyalty” for Trump. Once disloyal, always disloyal. We have to fight to the end. There is no appeasement for dictators. Too bad they didn’t learn from history. I expected more.

Expand full comment

You're so right! You just can't trust people, they are so fake and, stupid? The ones that say publicly, their opinions, then do the opposite; do they really not expect to be dumped?

Grateful for the MEIDAS Touch network. Once I found MTN...I stopped all other media.

They are so amazing, aren't they... I have no need for ANY other news outlet !!

Yes you do - and Ben would tell you that. You need as much information as you can get, to compare and learn. Not just left leaning sites either - you need to know the enemy.

That meeting with Trump likely included the requirement to sign a NDA. A promise to report only nice things about him.

I unfollowed yesterday. It’s a shame to see people folding and taking a knee to the blob master. Weak people!

I could hardly believe my eyes. I spent the last 8 years listening to MSNBC. Joe and Mika EVERY MORNING to start my day. I HAD to know what was happening and looked to them for my daily dose of hope. Since the election, my husband and I have stopped watching the news. It is too hard watching a very smug Trump and his family of grifters carry on. MSNBC and especially Morning Joe & Mika (shame on you Mika) really let me down. In my eyes they spent the last 8 years talking about how horrible he was and then he wins the election and first thing they do is bend the knee. Traitors to Democracy in my eyes. I remain one of the Meidas Mighty and look to you for the truth. Keep up the good work!

Hell hath no fury like a resistance movement scorned. I hope kissing the ring was worth it. Weak people with no conscience.

I’ll support Lawrence on MSNBC YouTube but that’s it. If I’m suggested any morning Joe vids I’m blocking them or disliking them. I hope Mika and Joe got pillows for all the time they spent on their knees in Mar e lago.

Just so you know, disliking counts as engagement.

I was shocked, but not really surprised. At least we have a strong woman, Rachael Maddow, who isn't a spineless jelly fish on our side!I I too am done with Morning Joe.

I follow Mehdi Hassan elsewhere now that he's pretty much off MSNBC. He has perspectives worth pondering. Good thing I'm used to the British College debate style lol

Expand full comment

Consider the courage of independent journalists in Russia, which has been ruled by czars and their ilk for 400 years. They risk prison and death to tell the truth. There aren't many of them. For our corporate media, their livelihoods could be cut off. They could lose their podium. Not nothing. But not prison or death.

Expand full comment

Gave up on Joe and Mika years ago. When you get up, wet finger and see which way the wind blows, THAT is the way they see the world. For God's sake: PUT YOUR FOOT DOWN AND STAND ON IT. Something Meidas Touch has done.

Expand full comment

As well, I canceled my YouTube TV script do I won’t be tempted to even start watching CNN who also scrub the news in Trump’s favor. I’ve been watching

Scripps , Reuters News & peacock has NBC now which I’ll get which I’ll use all three for my national news. But I’m not paying for this garbage anymore. I haven’t even turned the news on since 11-5-24. And I’m gonna start to use more Substack podcasts for my news and analysis. I’m still waiting for the news to report on Trump’s loss of breath about two months ago now. He could barely finish a sentence without gasping for breath and not one news outlet responded to that.

Expand full comment

I'm on Substack more and more. But there are some good foreign outlets where I get US news too. BBC. CBC, Guardian, and Le Monde are a few I check. There are plenty more to choose from. Just check and see who owns it. Times Radio is owned by Murdoch. No thanks.

There’s one video Meidas featured where he was taking and just gave up on his train of thought. I laughed so hard but people voting him in, now I can’t laugh. He can’t even critically think.

Add me to that survey as being done with them. While it may take some pressure off of corporate media, it’s just a bad look. My friends pointed out that he has been walking over Mika’s words, interrupting her constantly, an attribute that I have grown to find increasingly annoying.
