So Chuck Todd finally made me do it.

I generally have MSNBC on most of the day when I'm home. Sometimes it's background noise when I'm doing other things, sometimes I sit and watch. Generally Todd is background noise, but today he literally pissed me off so much just with the introduction to his show (everything is falling apart, Biden is a failure, etc.), I had to change the channel.

Some interesting stuff on the History Channel. Those Anunnaki Ancient Aliens actually make more sense than he does. They certainly appear to have been more useful.

(as long as they don't have the kind of scumbucket, grifty, lying, distorting "values" as Chuck Todd and the anti-American republiQon-Russian cabal).

Those old black and white Test Patterns on the TeeVee (at midnight, just after playing of the National Anthem) made (and make) more sense than Choke Toad.

Biden is dealing with COVID, the crappy Afghanistan deal of Trump's, getting the economy going, disastrous weather, and now the Texas thing.

Like this is all Joe's fault? Chuckles needs a time out.

Trumpy-Boy would be obsessed with optics and photo-ops. He'd be blaming everyone for things out of control. He'd blame everyone except himself. Everyone.

There's just too many issues to address. Trump wouldn't do any of it. Our condition would be a lot worse. With Biden, we know that he'll address every one. He may not succeed at all of them, but he'll go for accomplishments.

If he screams BIDEN FAIL! DISASTER!, you and I stop watching.
If he calmly states things are being taken care of as best they can, everyone stops watching.

These days, the "job" of these programs is to maintain a certain level of agitation in the population. High enough to provoke the occasional big-news crime, but not so high that viewers break free or that society collapses entirely.

Get rid of Todd, Andrea Mitchell, and Ari Melber. Give that money to whoever takes up the slack when Rachel goes weekly.

It’s like, WTF? The Biden administration It’s not falling apart. This entire “theme” that cable news likes to put forth, is total BS

to turn off msnbc when Mitchell and Todd come on and not turn it back on until their shows are over. I actually don’t care for the gal on at 9am (central) either. Maybe if they lose viewers during their shows, they will finally get the message. Oh and can’t stand Savanna on the today show either.
