Don't fool yourselves into thinking ABC's townhall will get better ratings than NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Telemundo, & NBC's digital platforms.

on the news or any specials. I have totally lost all respect for them with this politically biased stunt. Someone here said this was pushed by Chuck Todd. I really don't believe he has that power but I will wait and see if more comes out about this.

I've decided to end my daily routine of putting MSNBC on at about noon and having it on all day until Nicole comes on. No more. I will not suffer through Todd's shows anymore, nor will I suffer through Andrea Greenspan's bullshit. I'm done supporting the assholes on MSNBC along with the cream of the crop.

I will support Joy Reid, Nicole Wallace, Chris Hayes, Rachel, Lawrence, and Brian Williams, who I used to not like much, but now I adore. But no more "both sider" assholes. I'm done.

Has much more power than Lester Holt. Toad is Political Director for NBC News and also serves as on-air political analyst for their Nightly News.

Why? I've no clue.
