Over years, have been mostly all MSNBC despite sometimes calling them msRnc (in the G.E. days). Just thought CNN was a bit stodgy back before SHITLER started attacking them.
But about JONES, have had little exposure to him, but at the beginning of the OBAMA years I thought he had been hounded out viciously by the wingnuts. And I have barely looked at his product ever since, but have picked up bits where he has ragged on Dems and sometimes praised SHITLER.
So tonight, after about three hours of MSNBC in the background, yes with KONDRACHE being annoying, switched over to CNN and liked COOPER and AXELROD and those, yet JONES rubs me wrong even when he's not overtly antagonistic.
What's his ideological bent - "pragmatic"?!1

(38,187 posts)w̶i̶n̶n̶i̶n̶g̶ being installed as president, "pivotal." He has waxed nostalgic for Republicans before. Reminds me a lot of Tweety that way. I know on my TV, if they like Republicans too much, I'm turning them off forever. He is one.

Please be aware that there has been a vigorous campaign to smear and me and him and take him down because the Republicans saw him as a threat which he was.

(70,771 posts)My o.p. might tell you my "source" was myself. To spell it out again, the "bad" is his trashing Dems & praising SHITLER- sound familiar from the O.P.? I could go on repeating myself but just won't.
Its been wierd.
