I don't like these balanced panels. I don't like it. We don't need to hear lies and bs explanations from the other side. We don't need it. It is gaslighting 101. From now on, no matter who is on, I will be flipping the channel. #AMJoy
Before anyone thinks this is a new argument, it is not. Up until 2016, I never watched MSNBC. The only show I ever watched there was @MHarrisPerry's. I primarily watched CNN. This is why when people told me of how Maddow & Lawrence were during the primaries, I was surprised.
I started watching MSNBC a lot more after the primaries because I grew tired of seeing these panels on CNN & how it felt like gaslighting without much fact checking. I know what balanced coverage is supposed to look like & we weren't getting that. It's why I stopped watching CNN.
It's why still today, I only watch CNN for big stories like Hurricane Maria & Parkland because that is where they excel. I am only 40 but I remember how the news used to be growing up with Jennings, Brokaw, & Rather & how CNN was when it first debuted. We've moved away from that.
And I just want them to go back to reporting the news without bias & without the extra stuff. I think viewers deserve that especially now.
