All their so called experts were wrong about everything. Aren't there any consequences?

Why is it still Chris Matthews, Maddow, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Wolf Blitzer, etc?

They are still your experts? Really?

If I was wrong anout everything at my job, I would be fired.

But they did do their job---which is to promote Democrats and left-wing politics. So it didn't work out this time, but they'll probably get bonuses for doing this dirty work and sharpen their methods for next time.

Guess for the same reason nobody at Fox News was fired in 2012 after the Romney 'landslide.'

Which people at FNC called for a Romney landslide? Rove, Morris, and Gingrich were only contributors and not employees.

Perhaps not so much the news anchors, but the political advisors, campaigners, etc. Can anyone fathom the amount of money that is seen as waste if your candidate loses? All those 'yes men' and 'experts' could still be employed despite being so wrong.

Partisan news networks don't just fire their people when their candidate loses. The best thing to do is not watch partisan news in the first place.

I was going to say because they were just doing their job, but this is even pithier.

Exactly. I fired them. My action is the only one that counts.


It doesn't hurt to let the company know why you've fired them. It would do even more good to let the advertisers on individual shows know why you will likely not buy their product.

You're missing out.

I've made it a point to watch clips from CNN and PMSNBC post-election. I use YouTube for the best compilations.

They are doubling down on their "we know what's best for you" rhetoric.

It's hysterical watching them continue to try to lecture when the folks have already made it known they have no respect for them.
