CNN, MSNBC continue the blackout on republican statements

What if… and hear me out… what if those networks know that their audience doesn’t want to listen to Republicans talks about Afghanistan?

What audience?

What they’re doing now isn’t working.

Mainstream media outlets are biased. There, I said it.

What? Since when? I’ve never thought about it before but it’s all making sense now.

Yes they are. But FOX doesn’t suppress stories or voices of opposition. Which is one reason they crush the other two.

There, I said it.

Fox didn’t cover Trump rally last weekend.

Right now, there is a republican congressional news conference regarding Afghanistan. CNN is on commercial and MSNBC is covering the swearing in of the N.Y. governor. The blackout of news with these networks continues. So when does a major congressional presser not qualify as news? Covering national politics is literally their only job. Say what you will about FOX, but they don’t blackout the news conferences of democrats. Especially during a time of national crises.

This is why your news sources suck. They censor most news the DNC disapproves of. And their ratings reflect their suckiness.

If only there was some type of fairness doctrine.

Overseen by whom?

Fox didn’t cover Trump rally last weekend.

Do you think that might be because he’s a private citizen not setting policy?

[fallenturtle]

Do they always show Democratic congressional news conferences?

Okay. I’m surprised you watch that much CNN.

Did I mention that this was a congressional news conference?

So what? It was 30 minutes of Biden bashing by multiple Congressmen.

So when I Google “Republican News Conference” I get two hits: MSNBC (listening as I type this), and C-Span.

Ergo, OAN, Fox, et al are also in on this alleged black out of yours.

MSNBC was covering the swearing in of the N.Y. governor. I saw it with my own beady little eyes.

But believe as you wish.

As I said, I Googled it. I guess that was maybe their online feed?

But this doesn’t obscure your implied criticism of MSM “blacking out” coverage of this press conference, when in fact news sources you probably deem more acceptable also aren’t showing it.

Maybe could it be that Republican whining just isn’t considered newsworthy*. At least not for a live feed?

*unless the whiner is Trump

Maybe they could establish some sort of “federal commission” that would regulate radio/television/tele communications

@Scratch

Choosing to run stories other than what your interested in…is a black out?

No. Choosing only DNC approved news is. Did I mention that this was a congressional news conference? Did I mention their ratings suck because DNC news is also boring news?

are news network required to cover Congressional news conferences?

Okay. I’m surprised you watch that much CNN.

I’m full of surprises. Your assumptions about me are nearly always wrong. How much CNN do I watch? How much is “that much?”

Enough to know CNN only covers Democratic press conferences, assuming thats true.

Their only job is to broadcast content that makes them money.

Their job is partly to broadcast content that makes them advertising money, not lobbyist money. And their advertising revenue is falling, falling, falling. They are doing a lousy job if your standard is accurate.
