As we reported, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed by the Senate on Thursday, 52-48, to be the new Secretary of Health and Human Services, despite the failed efforts of Democrats to derail him.
Kennedy was then sworn in, in the Oval Office by Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, and both he and President Donald Trump delivered remarks. Given the drama around Kennedy, particularly from the Democrats, you would think that this would be big news to show — one way or another, that it was pretty historic. Kennedy delivered some very powerful and touching remarks in which he praised Trump. I'll tease that we have a good story coming on that shortly.

But if you were hoping to listen to it, and you were watching MSNBC as the swearing-in happened, you would have been out of luck. Here's host Katy Tur saying they're going to be listening to the event and what Trump has to say, and then cut to an "expert" for commentary about the event. But then, suddenly, she shifts and essentially says, "Oops, we're not going to be listening. Sorry, folks! We're just going to 'watch'" — without letting the people hear the ceremony or any of the important things they might have to say.
NEW: MSNBC mutes Donald Trump’s mic to bring on a physician to sh*t on RFK Jr. instead.

“Donald Trump is now speaking at the lectern before RFK Jr. will be sworn in… So let’s listen to this.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Speech Gives Hope and Opportunity to Make America Healthy Again
But you can see the ceremony going on in the background. So much for back-handed "news." All MSNBC seems to think their viewers are worthy of is commentary/opinion; you don't get to hear the actual news of what the elected president says or the remarks of his new secretary, at least not as it was happening on that show.
Here, they also cut away right as Kennedy was about to speak.

What were they afraid of? Are they afraid if their leftist audience actually listened, they might question the narrative they are being pitched about Kennedy and about Trump? That they might form their own opinions? And they wonder why their ratings are so low? And they wonder why media is no longer trusted by the American people? It's things like this.
If they think they can play this kind of game for the next four years, then they should prepare to lose even more in the ratings. They're going to talk over reality and hope to sway people? It's not going to work.
Why would anyone listen to this when they can get the real news simply by going to X and seeing it for themselves rather than having it filtered? And it just makes MSNBC look ridiculous when they claim to be a news outlet. How are you a news outlet when you mute/skip out on the news? It's things like this that are why more and more people are just turning off the left and their acolytes in the media.
