We Used to Watch TV.
Now, if the unholy trio of the Left, The media, and Academia have their way, the TV Watches Us

NBC seems to have gone out of the news business.
The network has been remarkably shy about reporting on the massive amount of e-mails being released through WikiLeaks, but more than willing to give time to anyone who says anything bad about Trump.
Competitor CBS, on the other hand, seems to be dividing up with time equally into a “Bad Donald, Bad Hillary” segment.
NBC, of course, is the network that employs John Harwood, a CNBC correspondent who sent love notes to the Clinton campaign and even generously offered his advice.
I hope Harwood was auditioning for a job with the Hillary administration, because if NBC keeps it up, the network is gonna lose viewers.

They wouldn’t be working this hard if it wasn’t so close.
‘NBC seems to have gone out of the news business.’
I dont ever recall it being in that business. For as long as I can remmeber theyve (all the MSM mouthpieces) been propaganda agencies for the dem party. THe only diff is that they dont care to hide it anymore.
I wonder if the MSM has figured out how to survive post-election with half of their viewers? They going to juice the Nielson ratings like they are the polls? :)
I don’t think they longer care about viewership,
Their corporate sponsors pay them to propagandize.
President Trump should treat organizations like NBC honestly, like an arm of the Democrat party.
They should not be included in White House press conferences with real journalists.
But, if he wishes, periodically President Trump could announce an informal “Debate with Democrats” in which he invites representatives of organizations like NBC, CNN, NYT, the DNC, etc. to the White House press room and engages in back and forth with them. If for no other reason than to highlight yet again that these are all part of the Democrat party.

And the Crony-Capitalists use taxpayer money to pay them with. The country is corrupt from top to bottom.
AFTER HILLARY CHOKED, HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED AT THE NBC PRESIDENTIAL FORUM WITH MATT LAUER
DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON’S BEHIND THE SCENES TIRADE AFTER NBC’s MATT LAUER ASKED CLINTON THE ONE QUESTION SHE HAD NOT PRE-APPROVED
VETERAN NBC CAMERAMAN: ‘YOU REALLY HAD TO SEE THIS TO BELIEVE IT...SHE CAME APART – LITERALLY UNGLUED; SHE IS THE MOST FOUL-MOUTHED WOMAN I’VE EVER HEARD...AND THAT VOICE AT SCREECH LEVEL...AWFUL’
”SHE LOOKED SO ENRAGED THAT WE ALL THOUGHT HER HEAD WOULD EXPLODE...IT WAS A FULL-ON MELT-DOWN AND THEN SHE SCREAMED SHE’D GET THAT F - - - ING LAUER FIRED FOR THIS. IT WENT ON FOR AT LEAST A HALF HOUR; WE ALL THOUGHT THE EMS WOULD BE THE NEXT CALL”
Report of the NBC Associate Producer of Forum
Behind the scenes, NBC technicians and cameramen at the Wednesday night, Commander-in-Chief Forum (Sept 7) report that Hillary Clinton was so angry and incensed that she had been ‘blind-sided’ by one question she was not prepared for and had not approved in advance.
“When her time in front of the cameras ended, Clinton shook the hand Lauer extended to her and smiled once more for the wide camera shot and then Hillary proceeded to pick up a full glass of water and threw it at the face of her assistant and the screaming started. She was in a full meltdown and no one on her staff dared speak with her – she went kind of manic and didn’t have any control over herself at that point. How these people work with this woman is amazing to me. Most of the small military audience were cordoned off, their seating not close to Mrs. Clinton, but certainly they heard her screaming because it was loud...and she really didn’t seem to care who heard any of it.”
Republican Donald Trump also appeared, in a separate telecast from Hillary Clinton’s and arrived with his two sons but no entourage or assistants in tow. The NBC cameramen involved in his segment said he was a ‘true gentleman’ and Trump and his sons spoke to everyone and thanked them for inviting him to speak: “It was a pleasure to answer your questions Matt.”
Hillary Clinton’s segment was much different. According to people working on the sidelines, “When Matt posed the one legitimate question about the FBI investigation concerning her homemade server and the unsecured emails, we could see she was beginning to boil and her eyes looked to pop.”
“It was toward the end of her interview so she was becoming unglued by the time Lauer finished with questioning. Hillary went ballistic, throwing a huge tantrum and screaming at her staff, “you f - - - ing idiots, you were supposed to have this thing set up for me and you’ve screwed it up! If that f - - - ing bastard wins we all hang from nooses! Lauer’s finished...and if I lose it’s all on you ass - - - - s for screwing this up.”
Clinton finally stormed off the military ‘set’ and the assistant producer said she was screaming that she wanted to talk to “the idiot who set this mess up...you do not blindside me - ever!” and continued to demand to speak with executives at Comcast, parent company to NBC Universal.
Her dozen or more aides were visibly disturbed and tried to calm her down when she started shaking uncontrollably. That did not stop her from demanding an executive “on the phone, now!” She was told the executive-in-charge of the forum was ready to talk with her and she was led away by two rather large aides who appeared to help her walk.
The TV executives got the message with all of the censuring headlines that followed over the next couple of days when it seemed the entire media turned on Matt Lauer for behaving in a “partisan” manner and “being grossly unfair and critical of the former secretary of state.”
Matt Lauer was heavily criticized on air by the Clinton campaign the rest of the week with most of the mainstream media joining in. The media appeared to frame Matt’s one serious question as the Clinton campaign was doing...”an unfair and partisan attack on Mrs. Clinton.”
Matt Lauer is still facing major backlash following his 23 minutes with Hillary Clinton. Privately, many reporters said Matt handed the Democrat nominee the expected softball questions, but made the decision to ask about the emails because, “the American people deserve an answer from the former secretary of state.”
Calls were made to New York Times, Washington Post and Huffington Post and Twitter executives with orders to “Crush Matt Lauer”. As you can easily see with all the headlines from these MSM sources, they did as they were told by the Clinton campaign.
Hillary also screamed that she would be “treated with respect at the debates or heads will roll.” Staffers at the Clinton campaign report that they fear her wrath and uncontrollable outbursts, and one described Hillary as “an egotistical psychopath”.
Since Hillary does not allow any staff to have cell phones when she is in their presence, no footage is available, but Hillary will never let this rest. She has made it clear that she wants Matt Lauer to be “persona non grata - for putting her on the spot.”
Interim DNC chairman Donna Brazile, the first black woman to hold the position, was singled out by Hillary during the rant. She screamed at Donna, “I’m so sick of your face. You stare at the wall like a brain dead buffalo, while letting that f - - - ing Lauer get away with this. What are you good for, really? Get the f - - - to work janitoring this mess - do I make myself clear?”
A female NBC executive said that Donna Brazile looked at Mrs. Clinton and never flinched, which seemed to enrage Hillary all the more. The executive continued, “It was the most awful and terrible...and racist display – such a profane meltdown I have ever witnessed from anyone, and I will never forget it. That woman should never see the inside of the oval office I can tell you that. She was unhinged and just continued to verbally abuse everyone – she was out of control.”

It’s not just the news segment of the media....it is the entire networks lineups. Example...new program about a woman secretary of state, who just happens to bear a striking appearance to Hillary. Does anyone recall there EVER being a network drama series about the friggin’ SECRETARY OF STATE of the US????
The democrat/communist media/entertainment/propaganda complex thought they’d secured victory for Gore in 2000, and were incredibly frustrated when Bush was declared the winner. So they ratcheted up the partisan rhetoric in 2004, but they could not drag the dead dog John Kerry over the finish line. At that time, Bush was still a relatively popular war president.
It was in 2008 that they dropped all pretenses by selecting 0bama as president. This time, the opponent was a dead dog in John McLame, whom they also selected as the token cardboard cutout opponent for 0bama. They shoved Clinton aside to select the clean articulate half-black usurper about whom no one knew and no one dared to ask.
Having been successful in selecting 0bama, they now recognize no restraint on their acts as official propaganda organ of the DNC. Since they felt no backlash in 2008 or 2012, they are pursuing the Party agenda with a single-minded diligence and zeal that would make Lenin proud.
A president Clinton will create a government run silent censorship of internet content, and the media/entertainment/propaganda complex will be happy to have their monopoly in information restored. Clinton’s rubber-stamp of five justices on the Supreme Court will find it all constitutional and legal.
One by one, the opponents will be silenced and disappear. That’s what’s at stake in this election.
That was a great post for this thread and highlights the level of control Clinton (or pOTUS) have over the media.
They are no longer journalist, they are government sock puppets.
In other news: Water is Wet.
Good stuff Grampa. The category: ‘Things You Will Never See On MSM’.
The important thing is that we ventilate from every possible angle a dirty joke Trump told a guy eleven years ago.
Thanks!
I didn’t see the NBC newscast last night, but I did dial into MSNBC several times yesterday and last night, and to my surprise, they spent a lot of time with the quid pro quo situation/email.
Not a bad idea.
