Remember when Obama requested time from the networks, and they refused? He was going to talk about immigration measures; they decided it was overtly political. Everything Trump does is political and filled with lies - but they can’t get enough of him. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/1/7/18172419/trump-immigration-speech-networks-obama

If anyone reading these comments wants to take a small action, I'd encourage them to simply tweet @ the MSNBC lineup, particularly the Rachel Maddow show, and ask them to all stage a walkout tonight. They all claim to be on the side of democracy, and they also lavishly praise people who have the courage to leave their jobs and blow the whistle on the Trump administration. Well. Tonight is the night they get to decide if they themselves have any courage. Tonight @Maddow and @Lawrence and @BWilliams can make a real difference. If they all go dark...the risk to their jobs and contracts is miniscule. And if small fry like Lieutenant Colonel Vindeman and Olivia Troye can risk their careers to save our democracy maybe they can take a stand too.
