1) Time to take a relaxing break from the garbage on Twitter today by... checks notes ... watching a bunch of cable news from today
2) This campaign is going to kill me but whatever.
first off is inside politics on CNN.
oh great....

3) The rest of the segment was awful as well, if anyone wants to clip it that’d be great, but I’m gonna be picky and move on
4) State of the Union was relatively ok despite Tapper also trying to paint the Iowa poll as a tie
5) Reliable Sources didn’t cover 2020 so it was fine. That’s followed by a repeat and then Fareeds’ show, so I mercifully get to skip from 12 pm to 3 pm.
6) The above tweet should say 2 pm, not 3 pm as it was just wishful thinking on my part.
anyway the 2 pm coverage ran a small segment about some Iowa Rep endorsing Pete, but that was it

7) 3 pm hour had Biden supporter Terry McAuliffe on to talk 2020 but unacceptably labeled him as a CNN Political Commentator, a Former DNC Chairman, and a former governor of Virginia. The host even announced him as that. Wow this is really bad by CNN
8) CNN asked Terry about Nina Turners article from today about Bernie vs Biden and Terry of course made pro Biden comments all the while they never disclosed that he had endorsed and was a surrogate for Biden. They then asked if he wanted to endorse anyone and he said he couldnt
9) because he works for CNN now, but the dude has literally been campaigning with Biden. What the absolute hell is this garbage?
10) They then pushed him to say who he thought would be best, and he hunted at Biden while the host said as much. This is an outrage
11) Holy crap. Look at this Politico article from literally 2 weeks ago. 
12) Terry’s wife is literally a bundler for Joe Biden’s campaign. Bernie’s team needs to call this out @briebriejoy
@briebriejoy 13) Here’s how they intro’d Terry, and nothing else was used under his name on the graphic the entire time either.
@briebriejoy 14) Apparently no one can find the segment online for me, so I’ll have to hand record the whole thing in multiple parts.... yippee
@briebriejoy 15) This ticks me off that the campaign can’t help me out with these things. But here’s part 1.
@briebriejoy 16) Part 2 (and yes there’s a bug on the tv)
@briebriejoy 17) Final part 3
@briebriejoy 18) 4 pm hour of CNN had them exaggerating/pushing the Bernie/Warren drama and the Bernie/Biden stuff.
@briebriejoy 19) 5 pm hour means we get Ana Cabrera and garbage graphics like this.
@briebriejoy 20) And we get CNN Senior Political Analyst Ron Brownstein straight up lying about Bernie.
@briebriejoy 21) My DVR didn’t record the 6 pm hour for some reason, but thankfully someone stepped up and clipped it themselves
@briebriejoy 22) CNN continues to rely on Politico reporting to claim Bernie is trashing Warren as they can’t verify the story themselves but are so eager to create crap between Bernie and Warren. It’s apparently the only story, along with Nina‘s Biden article, that even exists
@briebriejoy 23) oh and we have David Gergen during the 7 pm hour claiming Bernie hurt Hillary in 2016. Total garbage.
@briebriejoy 24) This is ridiculous coverage that only Bernie gets. Btw the other guy Joe Trippi said he agreed afterwards
@briebriejoy 25) And that’s generally speaking the channel with the fairer coverage compared to MSNBC. Now onto msnbc where the 12 pm hour was ok, the 1 pm hour started showing signs of them overhyping the Bernie/Warren “rift” while saying they couldn’t confirm the reports themselves
@briebriejoy 26) So basically like CNN, MSNBC had no proof the reports were true, but decided to just go on Politico‘s sole reporting on the subject.
my tv took pity on me and didn’t record the 2 pm hour or first half of the 3 pm hour, tho there was some of the same crap during the 3 pm hour

@briebriejoy 27) 4 pm hour was about the same outside of the fact the host couldn’t add and accidentally called Ali Vitali “Ali Wong” for seemingly no reason
@briebriejoy 28) But that brings us to PoliticsNation, Where Al Sharpton said, “I see what you did CNN and Terry McAuliffe, but I’m gonna out half you” and he interviewed Nina Turner in one of the most disrespectful/adversarial interviews I’ve seen since 2016.
@briebriejoy 29) Let me tell you right now, Al is lucky as hell that Nina is as civil and professional as she is, because had i been the one being interviewed, it would have been an interview remembered for all time as I would have called Al a hack to his face.
@briebriejoy @Bern2Bern 33) Part 4
@briebriejoy @Bern2Bern 36) I don’t know Al did you just have on @ninaturner to yell over her and try to make sure she didn’t get any of her points out on air? Why don’t you just go ahead and endorse Biden like you clearly want to do
@briebriejoy @Bern2Bern @ninaturner 37) I watched Meet the Press next and there wasn’t a ton of meaningful 2020 coverage as Chuck wasted an interview on Michael Bennett who actually went a bit after Biden over his Iraq vote surprisingly but otherwise was a useless interview
@briebriejoy @Bern2Bern @ninaturner 38) Finally we have Kasie DC where we got some 2020 coverage 40+ minutes into the show. I will say she’s the first person to cover bernie‘s comments about trump as well as John Kerry running his mouth but that quickly turned into the stupid Warren/Bernie rift story
@briebriejoy @Bern2Bern @ninaturner 39) She also was the only person on tv on either channel that I saw at least who pointed out that Bernie leads everyone with Black voters under 35. Maybe she felt like she had to make up for screwing up her graphic last week. But it was definitely better than most others today
@briebriejoy @Bern2Bern @ninaturner 40) And because this thread, and the day as a whole hasn’t been long enough, we got another segment on Warren and Bernie during the second hour of Kasie DC but there wasn’t anything that noteworthy so I simply wasted more of my time. And that’s it, I’m done. Today was awful
