The #GOPConvention has started and MSNBC isn't carrying it. I took this screenshot at 8:31:22 p.m. of CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC.

8:33:46 p.m. in the formal, opening credits after a video intro. MSNBC is NOT carrying the #GOPConvention. Anti-Trump punditry from Chris Hayes. To CNN's credit, they're carrying it

#BREAKING: At 8:35:51 p.m. Eastern (as per our DirecTV recording), MSNBC joins the #GOPConvention coverage in time for the Pledge of Allegiance and the first formal speech from @charliekirk11, skipping the opening video and invocation from @CardinalDolan

Annnd CNN goes to commercial break at 8:47 p.m. once Tanya Weinreis finished speaking, skipping over @mattgaetz's speech #GOPConvention

#BREAKING: Is MSNBC --- dare I say it --- racist? Rachel Maddow pulls the plug on covering the #GOPConvention at 8:51 p.m., skipping over ALL of @kimKBaltimore's speech.

And here goes the first "fact-check" with MSNBC running cover for the Biden campaign

And here's another MSNBC "reality check," masquerading as Biden campaign talking points and simping for China #GOPConvention

And here's this

And another pull-away for a so-called fact-check that itself was filled with lies

MSNBC is having a normal one out there

And here's another MSNBC "reality check" --- this time attacking the McCloskey's #GOPConvention

MSNBC pulls away from the #GOPConvention after McCloskey's remarks, attacking them and thus giving support to mobs who want to threaten them and attack their homes. Me thinks if this happened to Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, or Nicolle Wallace, they'd feel as angry as the McCloskey's
