    Even MSNBC cutaway from a live candidate speaking to an empty podium awaiting Trump. They played their part as well. Simply repeating what was being claimed regardless of its veracity just for views and clicks.

      Exactly. Anyone saying ā€œboth sidesā€ has never watched themā€¦ They all have one thing in common, greed. If it makes more money, theyā€™ll televise it.

        Your statement is non sequitur. You say they arenā€™t the same. But then flip to explain exactly how we were implying the same. Or at least exactly how I was implying they were the same. Though I assume the other person intended similar. I think we agree far more than we disagree here. And that this should just be marked up to another example of the wealthy poisoning democracy and discourse. Making people feel a reflexive need to always be on defense than not able to legitimately criticize. Because letā€™s be clear. Even if we often find what CNN and MSNBC do to be more acceptable or less damaging. Theyā€™re still doing it.

          Where did I disagreed with you. All I was adding is that fox is in it to push dangerous ideals and greed, MSNBC and CNN are in it for greed.
