We should have a separate forum here at DU...

[Tommy Carcetti]

...dedicated exclusively for people whining and complaining about various MSNBC correspondents and talking heads.

1. Imagine spending 8 to 16 hours a day watching cable news.

Seems like such a sad life.

[bigtree]

24. I'm retired and spend most of my time at home

...I garden and follow news because it's important to me.



I can clock a lot of news reading and watching time during the day. It's not the least bit sad. I happen to be very well informed. Like I said, it's important to me.

I always wonder, though, how folks who profess to severely limit their news sources can be so certain sometimes in their opinion of complicated and ongoing events.

[stuck in the middle]

26. I want to know if...

…we need to hide.

I want to know if we need to run.

But today, Joe Biden is President, and Kamala Harris is Vice-President.

[betsuni]

33. I particularly enjoy the "I unplugged the cable and smashed my TV with a hammer 300 years ago

but am the TV Expert -- how can you morons can stand it?"

I almost envy the extreme self-confidence of such people.

[ffr]

2. I was hoping you were going to say 'dedicated to TFG' news.

I'd like to see all of it washed away. They could name it Dumpster Fire News. Just give me the news about politics and policies that are making a positive difference in people's lives or the GOP's latest ruin America invention.

[Tommy Carcetti]

3. That would be sadly impossible.

The cancer invaded the body politic eight years ago and hasn't left since.

[Polly Hennessey]

4. Spoil sport. Can we have no fun whatsoever?

[Tommy Carcetti]

5. Nah, you can have fun all you want.

I just find it amusing how much time and effort goes into back and forth debates about MSNBC personalities that a lot of us don't even have the time to watch.

[ProfessorGAC]

15. I Have Plenty Of Time, But...

...I just don't watch much cable news. Why get aggravated? There are other things to watch & do.
I'm not watching either, but it's not from lack of time.
I just don't find belaboring a limited set of topics, all day, compelling TV.
Simple solution: I don't watch!

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

30. In this queue

I'm not a telly-watcher, with anything. I simply have other interests, like reading, creative writing and checking the news online. Or watching music videos on Youtube. Or enduring my mum on the phone. Or studying the local grocer ads and coupons, then coming up with my menus and grocery lists. Or doing my nails/finding new nail polishes. Or shopping online for stuff I need or want. Or simply spending quality time with my husband and cat.

Maybe that sounds boring to other people, but that's living the good life to me.

[emulatorloo]

6. I like it. For the most part it seems like they are watching a "alternate universe MSNBC."

[Joinfortmill]

7. I wish we had a separate one for 'politics'

[FSogol]

8. The "I can't change the channel or do anything else" forum.

[usonian]

9. How about TV chat?

Propaganda Debunking?

[Lunabell]

10. How about not reading content you find offensive?

As long as it doesn't go against toc, just don't worry about it. Works for me.

[senseandsensibility]

12. Me too

[UTUSN]

29. All in

[GoodRaisin]

34. That's always worked for me. nt

[Kaleva]

11. We also need another forum for discussing self checkout

[Lunabell]

13. Hahahaha!

Good idea. Maybe a forum for people to whine about people whining, lol.

[demmiblue]

14. We should have a seperate forum here at DU...

dedicated exclusively for people whining and complaining about what people post about on DU.

Oh, wait, we already did that...

[Just_Vote_Dem]

18. Spot on

Irony is lost on some

[BWdem4life]

16. That would be awesome

But include "praising them" too. I don't watch cable news, I find it sickening to the soul and ultimately not enlightening in the least.

[milestogo]

17. We should have a separate forum here at DU

for focusing on climate change.

[Celerity]

20. Environment & Energy (Group) perhaps

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1127

[milestogo]

21. Yeah, but that's a broader focus.

We need a place to discuss the crisis we are in.

[Celerity]

23. well, what's fucking up the climate is very often related to energy (generation of & the use of)

I am including the climate as part of the environment.

But I am not unsympathetic to your idea for a more precisely focused forum.

[Celerity]

19. +10000000000000000

[bigtree]

22. what about the whinging about the whining?

...c'mon.

Those figures are primary influencers in our political discourse.

Whatever thread you don't like, you can trash. It's that simple.

[Tommy Carcetti]

28. There's nothing worse than whining about whining!

I absolutely hate it!

[betsuni]

25. But complaining about TV friends is fun, as is holding grudges.

[Handler]

31. I watch quite a lot of cable news and really enjoy most of the commentators on MSNBC.

The small few of the host on MSNBC that I don’t care for, usually annoy me with their delivery and lack of preparation. Never their slant on politics.

[Snooper9]

32. Re-name Precinct-level Politics (Group)

Looks to be some bandwidth/storage available there
