I have seen several discussions of the con of critical race theory on MSNBC — Nicolle Wallace, Chris Hayes, Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow have all addressed this more than once. You need to skip shows like Meet the Press and other drivel and just watch people like them.

What really shocked me the other night was hearing on Rachel Maddow that Republicans are refusing to allow Biden to appoint ambassadors — we have only 3 or 4 now, two are former Trump appointees. Only one of Biden’s have been approved and that was because he is a former senator so senatorial commity requires they approve him.

The mainstream media has barely covered this shocking and despicable anti-democracy behavior by Republicans.

The daily block from 4-12 on MSNBC is generally very good.

Yes they are being held up in committee by the GOP. The Senate rules need an overhaul.

And Democrats need to campaign on the fact that it’s all the Republicans who are blocking things which is why we need to elect more Democrats in 2022. The media are focusing on how Democrats are failing to get things done, rarely pointing out that back in the day there would have been at least a few Republicans who would vote for these kinds of bills.

That’s a myopic take. There are plenty of reporters who take their jobs very seriously and do good work. I love journalism and news. I want it to be better. Media can be responsible and still make money.
