"Pondy, think of it this way… why are you looking for information you “want” in the first place? The very nature of the word “news” says it’s not supposed to come from a preconceived position - ie: something you “want”. It’s supposed to be original and “new” - a surprise… maybe something good you want or something bad you don’t want, but is important for you to know anyway." -Indy!
Huh. Well perhaps the fact that I don't look to MSNBC specifically for "news" has something to do with it.
So... I shouldn't have an interest in anything specific happening in current events? I can't watch MSNBC to get details I can't get anywhere else about specific events that I am interested in getting details about AND get "news" from various other sources? It has to be one or the other? If I get my news from various sources, I can't also watch MSNBC? "The News" is something that I'm supposed to just passively accept as it is fed to me only by the sources you approve of?? And that's all the detail that anyone needs about anything?
Yeah, no. Pass. thanks.
Remember a few years ago when Rachel was leaked those two pages of Trump's tax return and she made a really big deal about it and everyone laughed at her over it? "Wow! TWO WHOLE PAGES! What a scoop! Ha ha ha ha!!!"? Remember?
Well the part that people who didn't watch that episode are unaware of was what was on those two particular pages. He had claimed on one of those two pages of his tax return that some property was assessed at such and such low ball amount. Rachel and her team did some research and found insurance and loan documents that were in the public record that he filed to get a loan against and/or insurance for that property and he claimed that the property was worth like three or more times what he claimed it was worth on his income tax return.
Right there, Rachel uncovered the first of what was to become a multitude of evidence of Trump's illegal tax fraud and insurance fraud and bank fraud and real estate fraud and charity fraud and election fraud etc., etc., etc..... It was but a hint of what was yet to come. But everyone wanted to just laugh at her instead. Even though she had in fact scooped everyone who was laughing at her. Well, I guess they had to laugh.
This is an example of why I get a bit peeved at those who criticize what they know nothing whatsoever about.

Yeah, I have to say that Ari Melber is my favorite MSNBC show host. The two Republicans here might like his show. To my knowledge he's the only MSNBC show host who has Republicans on as guests - not every episode, but fairly often.

Yeah that's right, hon. He has Republicans on who wouldn't touch Rachel's show with a ten-foot pole.
