MSNBC Sound Problems - 1 Year Later

It's been more than a year since I first posted about the problem I and so many others have been experiencing with the MSNBC sound regularly cutting out whenever one of the on-air hosts reads a quote from a newspaper or other publication and the text of what is being read is shown on screen. So I thought I would provide an update. 

Last winter, the problem was only minimal. But in the past few months, the problem has gotten worse - MUCH, MUCH worse. However, now a pattern has emerged and it's actually possible to actually predict when the sound will drop out. The MSNBC audio is cut off whenever one of the on-air hosts is reading a quote that is critical of the current federal administration. In other words, it's a pathetically obvious attempt at censorship. The sound does not cut out when a quote is being read that is on an unrelated topic - only when it is critical of Trump or the Trump Administration. And since Comcast is the current owner of MSNBC, they obviously have complete control over what is being broadcast on this channel. 

This problem happens on all three of my TVs and only happens on MSNBC and only when a quote is being read accompanied by a transcript of the text that is critical of Trump. My sound NEVER cuts out when I'm watching another channel, or when I'm watching television programming another streaming service, such as Netflix or YouTube. Can this be a coincidence?? The answer is obviously a resounding "NO!"

As the saying goes, "Democracy dies in silence" (literally)!
