I've turned to it off and on since just after Monday night's coverage of the RNC and every single time I've turned it on they are spending the entire time still obsessing about Melania Trump's plagiarism of Michelle Obama's 2008 speech. I can't imagine at last 90% of their airtime since Monday night hasn't been devoted to this.
They have failed to mention that Michelle Obama's 2008 speech plagiarized the writings of Saul Alinsky and also a sentence from Elizabeth Dole's 1996 RNC speech ("your word is your bond" appeared in Mrs. Dole's speech).
Michelle Obama: “…the world as it should be.” In 2008, the aspiring First Lady was accused by bloggers of lifting lines for her DNC speech from Saul Alinsky. Alinsky wrote, in Rules for Radicals (emphasis added): “The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be.” Michelle Obama said: “And Barack stood up that day, and he spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about ‘the world as it is‘ and ‘the world as it should be.'” (Perhaps Mr. Obama who left out the attribution.)

Also this:
"Only limit to achievement is the limit you place on your own dreams."
-Crossing Antarctica 1991 page 318
"The only limit to the height of your achievement is the reach of your dreams."
-Michelle Obama 2008
"The only limit to your achievement is the strength of your dreams and you willingness to work for them."
-Melania Trump 2016
--------------
And of course they spent no time reporting on this in 2008 when it happened, let alone the 40 hours they've spent obsessing over Melania Trump instead of covering the convention.
It seems as if they will do anything to deflect from the actual issues and those speaking at the RNC and what they are saying. They're quickly becoming just another MSNBC.
