People!
Yes it’s ridiculous that Greta and Megan are on MSNBC.
It’s APPALLING that Megan’s idea (is it her idea? or is it some kind of hazing?) of an interview guest is Putin, or alex “no actual credentials just a loud asshole with w mic” Jones.
But the answer is NOT to boycott MSNBC.
The answer is to boycott THOSE 2 SHOWS and makes sure MSNBC knows it.
We are not having this crap on our network.
We can stop this.
How?
CALL THE ADVERTISERS AND ORGANIZE A BOYCOTT!
That’s how we the people got rid of Bill O’Reilly! We almost got rid of Sean Hannity the same way. Remember, boycotts and phone calls got Ivanka’s clothing line out of numerous chain stores. The items were literally on the clearance rack, marked $1. People wouldn’t touch it. And Briebart lost 90% of their advertisers in the last few months. 90%, people! these are WINS!
Don’t roll over! Let’s boycott! But let’s be smart.
YES! let’s publicly boycott:
- Megan’s show (until and unless she starts interviewing reasonable people, or starts taking these asshole guests to task)
-greta’s show. just… the whole thing
NO! We should NOT, I repeat NOT boycott MSNBC as a whole because we then lose our very, very valuable truth-telling allies. Where are they going to go? CNN? Ha! I gave up on CNN with their “panels” of people shouting over each other and their ever-present know-nothing “this may as well be a recording of a talking point” right-wing guests (at least get a smart right-wing guest who has a grasp on history, logic, maybe a working knowledge of 1-2 other countries on the planet).
We must keep MSNBC because they have:
Chris Matthews (who doesn’t hesitate to criticize both sides of the aisle)
Chris Hayes: great interviews
Rachel Maddow- wow the incredible research and brains on this show
Lawrence O’Donnell: yeah he’s mostly opinion, but we need one of those for left-leaning people, and his opinions are generally based on verifiable facts
Brian Williams: respected veteran newsman, doing a proper job, and no obligatory right0wing guests whose only credential is “Tweeto supporter” (i’m looking at you, CNN).
I have no idea what’s on during the day. I don’t watch TV during the day. But I’m guessing it’s also good programing.
OK?
So we’re pissed at whoever the F*** is messing with the lineup, but we are not taking it out on the whole channel, because we need all these other great programs and great hosts, OK? We NEED them! They are the last Jedis, people!
I know you’re angry! I’m angry!
But use a scalpel, not an axe. Cut off the tumor, not the whole torso!
Who’s ready to organize this boycott?
How did they do the Brietbart one?
It was very effective.
Brainstorm in the comments.
Let’s do this.
