MSNBC Off The Rails

I decided to watch "Hardball with Chris Mathews" this afternoon.

This episode has to go down as the biggest example of "fake news" yet.

"I Think". "There Might Be". "Actions Suggest". "Sources Believe". "There is a possibility that there might be"....(yes, Chris Mathews actually said that).

Not one Fact. Just opinions based on unsubstantiated wishful thinking.

And of course, every topic is ended with, "the question has to be asked, does this rise to the level of impeachment".

They have gone all in. All of this because Hillary is not the President.

What to believe, then?

If you've decided everything is fake news, what is the "real news" you're referencing as a basis of comparison?

The Harvard Kennedy school of journalism has released a report that shows Fox News was the most fair and balanced during the coverage of the election. 52% negative on Trump, 48% positive. No one else even came close.

More liberal groups tend to like News Outlets with a liberal bent, while people with conservative views favor News Outlets with a conservative bent.

I don't think the link addresses what percentage of various News Outlet's broadcasts are dedicated to a particular political party, and how much was negative, or positive, to a particular political philosophy.

I believe the American experiment in Democracy is sliding down into failure, and despotism looms.

Hopefully, it will be a right wing despot, if a despot it must be.

Also, as despots go, he wouldn't be the worst despot in history if he wiped out all the liberals. Hopefully, of course, we can unite as a country and preclude such unpleasantness.
