yellow dahlia (4,183 posts)It's getting to ALL of us.I am a self professed MSNBC/MSNOW junkie. I saw something happen today that doesn't happen.These folks are professionals. (Okay, most of them - Stephanie Ruhle is a self-professed cry baby.))The MSNBC/MSNOW keep their composure and wear the demeanor expected of the Fourth Estate.We are in tough times, and it is hard to report the barrage of pain and destruction.Every once in awhile Nicolle says shit, and then apologizes. Although I have seen her say shit more often lately. Today, she broke down while reading the obituary of one of the young students who was gunned down in a classroom at Brown University on Saturday afternoon. He was a young man who had survived brain surgery as a child, and was studying to be a brain surgeon. (And I am tearing up (again) as I write this.)After the break, she and Eddie Glaude continued a discussion of the broken social contract that has taken over our reality. They both wept.And then on The Beat, Ari Melber reported on the death of Rob Reiner. He spoke of the enormity of the loss of a man of talent and grace and power, which were demonstrated in countless ways. He spoke of Rob Reiner's conviction to make this world a better place. He spoke of Reiner's politics and showed clips of Rob Reiner on MSNBC. Ari was not on camera. A montage of images accompanied his voice. Ari's voice cracked - he struggled to hold back tears.Today, they pierced the wall.It is getting to all of us. WE'RE MAD AS HELL, and we can't take it any more.https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220869328
