MSNBC host and former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki stridently defended her network's "all negative, all the time coverage of Donald Trump because it's what our viewers want. If we want them to loyally watch us we must be loyal to their values--the foremost of which is hatred for the man."
"We're being realistic here," she insisted. "MSNBC is not a widely watched network. We have shrunk down to a narrowly circumscribed niche market for the most rabidly anti-Trump ideologues. They don't want balanced coverage. They have no toleration for anything that doesn't feed the flames of their antagonism for the entire MAGA agenda and everyone who supports it."
"One of the delicious ironies of our current position is that Trump's extreme freedom of speech advocacy makes MSNBC invulnerable," Psaki gloated. "There's no way he could get away with trying to censor us like Biden tried to censor media that disagreed with his policies. Trump wouldn't dare send the FBI to suggest that we stop hectoring him and ridiculing his policies. When Democrats regain power--and they will because they have the tools, if not the policies that most voters like--MSNBC will still be around to support them."
In related news, Bill Owens, the producer of CBS News' "60 Minutes" show abruptly quit after his boss Shari Redstone declared "I don't think there's ever a time you have to compromise what it is that you say and do, but freedom of the press involves telling both sides of the story, giving the facts, not giving opinions. I think that's our responsibility as a media company."
Owens explained "I knew right then that my control over the show would be ripped away from me. Going forward there would be no filter to screen out misinformation. Wrong ideas would get equal time against correct ideas. Viewers would be expected to make up their own minds. I just couldn't work under such harsh restrictions over what '60 Minutes' would have to include in its weekly broadcasts."
It’s the same kind of positive reinforcement conditioning which made them rabid loons in the first place. They are so habituated to their perspectives they MUST interpret what they see accordingly, no matter how preposterous it might actually be. It’s like a Venn diagram with one circle.

Hey if somethings working for you…. Dont stop. /s
That’s not as < /sarc > as it should be. And the Gannett newsrags are just as bad!
I doubt they really took the time to ask both of their viewers.
So do I.
Just go to drudge to see it in compacted form!
MSM is pro Marxism proved by the way they protect it Trump is the only thing standing in the lefts way.
More power to him for the sake of liberty in America.
People like Liberal Jen Psaki who would speak negatively concerning Pres. Trump should be aware that there just might be some ordinarily peace-loving conservatives who would be strongly tempted to slap her if she voiced her sentiments in their presence.
