It is a discussion board and everyone gets a chance to voice their opinion--including those you find "tedious." Use the 'ignore' function if it bothers you. Otherwise, you become guilty of the same "whining" that you admonish against.

Pretty much all DUers are not shocked by the daytime tilt on the channel. It's discussed here all the time.

Therefore, I didn't see it as an admonishment at all.

posts were thus an annoyance to others. Whether such posts are or not is not for the OP to decide. The posts are fully within allowable content and I find such "call-outs" to be rude.

YMMV.

so I don't wait until the sun goes down. The rest of the morning hosts are wasted viewing time.

That is always an option, but at least I am suggesting it politely.

Sounds like a great solution to keep progressive views in the mainstream.

Or maybe we can continue to support the hosts that do represent our values.

Call me crazy.

The shocking part was that Tur basically is working for the Trump campaign. They call her and tell her what to do a story about. It's completely fucked up.
