MSNBC cut off reporter as he tells climate change and oil industry truth? (VIDEO)

[egbertowillies]

MSNBC seemed to cut off reporter Shihab Rattamsi any time he begins revealing truths about the oil industry, climate change, and politicians. Many people do not think it is copacetic to get into the politics of a disaster as it is occurring. That may be true for those people immediately affected by the catastrophe because their immediate goal is survival and a quick return to some semblance of comfort.

The reality, however, is it is imperative that national networks give the rest of the country the full context of the disaster including causality when there is irrefutable evidence at the time of the event. The human psyche absorbs information best when there is an immediate relationship between words, theory, and an event in real time.

1. Paranoia

2. MSNBC has a bigger boss.

[Trust Buster]

3. I watched that live at the time. The guy just kept rambling on and on.

MSNBC did nothing wrong. Live reports have a shelf life. This guy was making a prolonged speech.

5. oh really

[Trust Buster]

6. Yes, really.

9. No, he was giving a brief and informed report on Corporate corruption

which is responsible for so much of the bad effects of Harvey. He was a climate expert, a reporter for Al Jazeera. And he only got about 3 sentences out in total, that we observed. How is that going on and on?

11. Nonsense. I watched it live and immediately sensed that the guy was over the top.

He was supposed to report on the happenings on the ground and went on a rant about climate change. I had no problem with his talking about climate change but these live reports only go on so long and that guy wouldn't stop so MSNBC had to move on at some point. The OP is being overly sensitive IMO.

12. no

perod.

4. profits

cannot be impeded for the mega-rich, even if it means destroying the whole goddamn planet and everyone on it. I just don't get it..

7. Comcast is only interested in ratings and ad revenue.

8. I saw that..Wow. Just wow.

My husband and I turned to each other and said Nothing Suspicious THERE! at the same time.

10. MSNBC gives Rachel Maddow and others a whole hour to ramble on. Live reporting ...

...needs to be snappy.

If you want climate change and ecology reporting, you can find it.
