Yup. I'm a conservative too, just one that happens to think that Trump isn't a conservative. That doesn't mean that he hasn't taken some conservative positions, but I simply don't think those are done out of conviction, I just think he's a master at keeping what I like to call the "basic whites" fired up. He's the political equivalent to Paul Finebaum. They are masters at knowing what buttons to push.
To the point, I try and get my media from a few different places. I watch Morning Joe (that's the only MSNBC show I can stomach, as they actually have a pretty wide range of commentators, former Republican consultants, etc), but I for the most part only read the Wall Street Journal (owned by News Corp). Those two give a pretty wide range of view points, even if there are idiots on MSNBC. I'm sure for most of the MAGA crowd on here, they cannot stand Rachel Maddow. I don't like her either. However, then when I turn on Fox and Friends, other than Ainsley being a smoke show, I honestly think my 2-year old has a higher IQ than she does. Sean Hannity is the "conservative" dumb f___ equivalent to the left's Rachel Maddow. I'm convinced that these polar opposites are simply meant to appeal to the idiots on both sides.
I remember a few months ago something fairly big had happened in the world (candidly, I can't remember what it was), and MSNBC was laying into Trump and blaming him for the issue, etc. I turned to Fox, curious as to what they would be talking about the issue, and low and behold, they weren't even covering it. I think they were reporting on a 7-year old Honduran immigrant who had shoplifted a Snickers bar as a policy position against illegal immigration.
If folks want to bash MSNBC, doesn't bother me a bit. But man, it's not like Fox News has a bunch of intellectuals or deep thinkers on their shows either.
