That’s is the reason I don’t watch anymore. Ratings are more important than the truth, they bellyached about Biden’s miss-speaks, stuttering and etc.. Pitiful.
Yes! That was so annoying. The wonderful things Biden was doing that were moving the country forward were ignored, but they loved showing him slipping a bit! No one shut up criminal trump when he hung ugly nicknames on people and reenforced those nicknames over and over while his cult collected them as truth. Sickening!
I have stopped watching all corporate media. They have failed the American people. I am guessing Chuck Todd is salivating, but I find his statement dangerous and wrong.
So done with corporate media. I held on to the bitter end with Rachel and Lawrence as long as I could through all this, after witnessing CNN pathetically go “lite right” kowtowing to their billionaire owners. It’s been a nightmare of sanewashing the insane and not calling Trump and MAGA what they are: FASCISTS.
I am so sick and tired of these feckless weenies, I could SCREAM.
Me too. Until they all bailed on decency bashing Biden, including Rachel. I stopped morning viewing years ago with the trump girls: Kelly Katy, Kristen, Chris and the most red of all, Andrea. I stopped morning Joe for the horrible way he treated Mika. Then she married him. Tried Nicole but after supporting McCains palin pick, she dared to publicly bash Biden and then was only left with Lawrence. Now it is goodbye msnbc entirely. SHAME on these rich talking heads who have, each and every one, given the middle finger to America
Thank you for articulating so beautifully what I have been feeling for months. I refuse to support the corporate, corrupt media machine anymore. You guys are all I watch now. Thank you for providing real news.
And watching them pick apart Kamala, the woman who ran a superhuman campaign despite incredible headwinds, really tipped the scales for me. She deserved better from the media. We all do.
Kamala Harris is still my hero because when our wonderful President and statesman put country over himself she rose 🌹 beautifully to the occasion. People can't pick apart a hero. And she's not done yet. Mark my words game's not over.
Our "wonderful" president stepped aside way to late fir Kamsla to have a real chance. Because he's stubborn & stuck in the past he's partly responsible for Dump. He also should've fired the 2nd worst AG Garland when he didn't prosecute trump immediately after Jan 6! It took him 2 years to appoint a special prosecutor which is malpractice & inexcusable. Jack Smith is excellent & would've nailed dump IF he'd had more time. But no.
If good ol Joe had kept his word about only serving 1 term, Kamala could've been President.
She STILL could be if the old goat stepped down NOW & gave her the job & the glass ceiling would be broken. Bit no, just like he refused to add additional members to the SCOTUS to make it balanced, he won't do what's right here, either.
You may love Joe, & his term did great things for us, but as a person & president, he leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
Hazel you definitely have a few good points about Biden but I don’t agree that if he had stepped down sooner Kamala would be President. But I do agree with you about Biden not doing something about the court and Biden and Garland not prosecuting Trump sooner. There are a lot of reasons why we are at this point and the Democratic Party is partly to blame. The Republicans have been committing crimes in office since the 1980s. Does anybody remember Iran Contra? And each time when the Democrats come into office, they sweep those crimes under the rug. Clinton did it, Obama did it, and Biden started to do it until he and Garland were embarrassed by the January 6 committee. It is obvious that the Russians were involved in this election and there may be a basis for Biden to use his new found power given to him by the Supreme Court to stay in office and try to fix this mess. That’s what the Supreme Court said It wanted when it gave the president immunity for him to be able to take bold action. Whether or not Biden will have the guts to do it is anyone’s guess. But if he doesn’t, we need this community to get along and work together to resist the fascism that is going to be imposed upon us. We all need to stay away from corporate media and support independent media. Another thing we need to do is shun businesses who are not pro-democracy. We can shut down small businesses that are owned by racist, and perhaps we can cut the profits of other corporate giants who support fascism. While I am not in love with the Democrats, right now they’re the only game in town. Just my thoughts.
I do surveys on You Gov. They did one on what News Networks I watch. Statement number one was that I watch MTN. The second statement was that I do not watch FOX, CNN, MSNBC or any of the lesser Maga media news.
I worked with the media for 25 years. I’m disgusted what they have become. I too lay so much of this at their feet. They destroyed Biden for four years and normalized Trump. They are getting everything they deserve.
Meaning of 17th century word, kakistocracy, a state or society governed by its least suitable or competent citizens. This is just what is about to happen. Oh and by the way, Chuck Todd is a tool who helped bring about this kakistocracy in Dumbfuckistan.
Hold on ...."to see sexual deviants like Matt Gaetz, pro-Putin scoundrels like Tulsi Gabbard, anti-vaxx charlatans like RFK Jr., or Fox weekend hosts like Pete Hegseth nominated for Cabinet positions."
Have we forgotten something?
trump for the president - that is the source of this aberration, and after this nothing, nothing should surprise us.
I stopped watching corporate news 15 years ago! My kids grew up without having “news” pumping through the house. I found Historians and a variety of podcasts, NPR and books to fill the void of information and even the past several years I have felt NPR was also losing ground in reporting about things that should have mattered more. Been following (and a subscriber) of Meidas along with the Bulwark, Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen, Pod save america, Democracy Docket, Talking Feds and many more along with the best historian and her daily letters, Heather Cox Richardson! Best decision I ever made was to ditch commercial “news” so long ago, but everyone needs to completely cut the cord on all of it now and tune in to independent journalism and support these people, they are what this country needs!! Thanks Meidas family!!!
Ty for writing this. Hope to become a paid subscriber soon recovering from stolen identity & surgeries. I watch you & your brother's everyday & love the work you are doing, big time. Many blessings to you all & plan on becoming part of your team.
MTN IS THE BEST PLACE TO GO TO GET THE BEST PROFESSIONAL, INTELLIGENT NEWS, BOTH U.S. and GLOBAL. FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY! BE EDUCATED! RESIST, SEND LIAR TRAITOR, CRIMINAL TRUMP TO PRISON!
I LOVE this !!! Long since unsubscribed from NYTimes and WaPo. Now completely off cable TV news. They contributed mightily to the complete disaster we’re in. Meidas - you’re terrific. I read my substack folks, The Guardian and a few other trusted, independent sources for news and views. Keep up the great work- we need you!
Thank You!! I haven’t watched since DOOMSDAY! And I never watched CNN anymore for quite a long time. Since they went right leaning. The lost me as a person and PROUD DEMOCRAT 🦋💙🦋💙

I think Chuck is what they now call delulu.
Pretty much.

Exactly 💯💯💯 . CNN has a new leader who has ruined that network.

I feel the same. Its not over.
Why can't the USA pass a law that the Media must speak the TRUTH ?
You mean like we used to have?
I stopped watching Chuck Todd awhile ago. I do blame media, and I am not watching anything to do with Trump!
I do surveys on You Gov. They did one on what News Networks I watch. Statement number one was that I watch MTN. The second statement was that I do not watch FOX, CNN, MSNBC or any of the lesser Maga media news.
MSNBC has been ok so far. but MTN is my go to .
I only watch Lawrence O Donnell. Otherwise, MSNBC has joined the annoying heap.
yes, lawrence really tells it like it is. I love his description of trump...the stupidest president in history.
If we boycott MSNBC, perhaps Lawrence O’Donnell will join MTN.
You gotta listen to the podcasts by Rachel Maddow and Chris Hayes . And yes Lawrence is a go to
What is MTN?

Chuck Todd, once upon a time, challenged his benefactors. He has become a disgrace.

I returned a 65 inch television to Costco the day after the election. It was unopened and one week old. All network media is despicable!
