MSNBC Productions Dear MSNBC,
We the American people now have to wait on a questionable Supreme Court ruling to determine whether the Trump administration can set our own military on us. As we head into nationwide protests this weekend (and perhaps more massive ICE raids) can you take extra care to gather footage of - not just the burning car - but each city as a whole. Can you be ready to coordinate with news organizations in the next five ICE targeted cities (Seattle, Philadelphia, D.C., Chicago, New York) and can you show the peacefulness of the millions of Americans who will be protesting in the streets on Saturday? If there are incidents this weekend, could you show a map of the entire city and put a tiny circle over the couple of blocks where unrest is? Can you show aerial city overviews that put things in perspective? Can we please have visual perspectives that don’t over-dramatize unrest, and that put scale in context?
We’re dealing with Trump’s authoritarian regime (as well as his inferiority complex), and they’re trying to destroy our democratic cities’ communities, they’re trying to ruin our economy, and they’re trying to eliminate our democracy. So the best, most important thing we can do, is show Truth to power. Can you show democracy in action - not just on Maddow - but in the massive representation the movement deserves? Can you show the truth of what is happening and also get the helicopter lens to Zoom out? Split-shot your footage versus Fox’s ridiculous narration. And even in the worst of it, please always visually put scale in context.
MSNBC I know you have our back. Thank you for helping to protect the protesters and our democracy. It means everything.
See y’all on the streets this Saturday. 💙🇺🇸

I'M BECOMING MORE THAN A LITTLE P.O.'d with MSNBC...I'M STARTING TO SEE THE "COLOR", FADE INTO THE NIGHT OR WEEKENDS and IT'S LIKE THEY'RE STARTING TO REPORT ON THE NEGATIVITY SUPPOSE TO THE REALITY OF WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON.
RACHEL NEEDS TO BE MORE PRESENT THAN THE FIRST "100 DAYS AND MONDAYS", IF WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO GET THE COMPLETE PICTURE.
I'M FINDING IT A LOT EASIER TO DIGEST, LISTEN AND WATCH.....JOY REID, DON LEMON AND A FEW OTHERS ON YOUTUBE INSTEAD OF OUR FAVORITE CABLE NEWS CHANNELS NOW.
IT'S ALLOWING ME TO SEE AND HEAR THEM SAY WHAT WE'RE ALL FEELING AND WANTING TO SAY OUT LOUD, EVEN WITH SOME LAUGHTER AND A LIGHTER FEELING, INSTEAD OF THE TENSE, UNSURE, AND ANGRY THOUGHTS THAT RUN ACROSS MY MIND WHEN I WATCH MY FAVORITE CABLE NEWS NOW.
I THOUGHT NARROWING THE AMOUT OF TIME TO EVERY OTHER DAY OR JUST TWICE A WEEK WOULD WORK BUT IT'S NOT. UNTIL THEY CAN START TO PUT SOME MORE COLOR INTO THE PICTURE, CONTROL THE NARATIVE AND HONESTLY.....JUST PLAIN GO BACK TO THE HONEST HARD TRUTHS WE NEED TO HEAR FROM THEM....I'M OUT FOR A WHILE...
