I was not watching TV last night but I am glad to see msnbc cut off trump victory speech.
Somehow--to me it seems better to cut him--as a good optic--rather than not broadcast him at all.

1. Eventually they did. But I was watching and it went on WAAAY too long.

I don't know who made the decision when to cut him off, but I do know that Joy Reid and Nicolle Wallace have both cut off his lie-filled speeches in less than a minute. Not sure why it took so long last night, but it was abysmal, though I am glad to hear that they came back to counter. Still, damage is done.

3. yes, the damage of folks listening to Trump lies is done-but you know the RW stations will

just repeat them over and over as time goes on.

2. I like Lawrence O'Donnell's idea during that segment

Whenever P01135809 is shown, put it on a split screen that fact checks him real time. This means any segment with him is shown on a delay (frankly as much as he lies and curses at the podium, it should be on a delay).

4. They Didn't Know Before He Started Talking?

He lies about everything, all the time, and has been forever.
So, they pulled away because he lied, but they aired a known liars speech.
Why put it on in the first place? What did they think was going to happen? That he would suddenly become honest & have something intelligent to say?
