91. +1. MSNBC/CNN viewers don't care about this shit

and I don't think these networks 'get' this; we're political news people and like seeing our regular shows, especially with so much going on with the confirmation hearings etc.

Anytime a celebrity stubs their toe we get 24/7 coverage similar to the OJ stuff - it's the same reality show environment that led to Trump.
