.@maddow allowed her show in the Trump era to become a modern-day Joe McCarthy.
Every other claim made on her show for 2.5 years was "PUTIN!"
She created a modern-day red scare... and neglected to cover how broken our various systems were the whole time

.@Maddow very intentionally structured her show in the Trump era to whip her viewers into a frenzy instead of soberly educating about systemic problems in many spheres.
That doesn't make her unique, but she has more pull, visibility+centrality, so her choice had more of an effect

Tonight on her show (I am a captive audience @ dinner since Mama Zemek controls the TV in the house), @Maddow is highlighting COVID-19 outbreaks, but only in red states.
She has not criticized @NYGovCuomo or @SpeakerPelosi during this pandemic, reflecting the stance of mass media

Chris Hayes has been one of the media's most virulent, relentless & arguably effective Trump critics -- an all-consuming loathing for the President -- but #FireChrisHayes was trending because he covered the sex assault allegations against Biden.
Shows what MSNBC has cultivated.

Also, with this completely deranged backlash against @ChrisLHayes for the crime of covering what a news story - one that just happens to be unfavorable to Dems - you see the extreme career incentives for cable hosts never to tell their audiences anything they don't want to hear.
Yet again the plot thickens.
