How do I get YouTube to not recommend contents from NBC news?

Breathe a sigh of release? Should be relief!!

[kenwarner]

Are there allegations in Gaetz report that deserve police attention?
😏

[Commentator-jo]

This presenter cannot read a sentence without mispronouncing at least one word …

[Keiching]

Good Grief can we the people just get the remaining months of this year in peace. Too much going on in the world without this constant political drama. No matter what no one wins, half of us looking one way and the others looking their way. We need a break to regroup and attempt civility again. FFS!!!

It truly makes me question people's intelligence to not realize he was sent out as a red herring.

[jamesgantz]

Just because he wasn't charged don't mean he wasn't guilty he shouldn't even had that conversation

[lincolnpointman]

And poor little Matt sure gets a legacy fitting for what he put out into the world. A little pre inauguration justice.

[kuribojim]

Lindsay, there’s a “double standard” because the Trump GOP nominates nutters, not conservatives. In reality, it’s not a double standard: it’s the impact of extremism running into existing standards of normalcy and professionalism.

[Omni]

How much stuff is in that report? Jesus

[nolanmarion]

Yamesh has made so many mistakes these last five days. Whose idea was it to put her on five days in a row ?

[bonniehall]

Such fine family folks these Congressmen!

[jasonengberg]

Collins was one of seven Senate Republicans to vote to convict Trump on the impeachment charge of inciting insurrection in 2021 and said earlier this year she would not endorse Trump, even if he won the GOP nominee for president. She certainly sounds supportive of him now!

[JohnOhkumaThiel]

Gaetz drops out after resigning from Congress: Finally some great news!

[matthewbroder]

At 3 minutes and 49 seconds she makes a big error and says that they did not give a reason why they charged him. They did not charge him woman

[johncoronado]

I really do enjoy watching this network. It's amusing how they create outrageous lies about people they dislike. Their effort to persuade others to believe them is the main reason I waste my time watching it. 😊😊😊

[richietattersall]

He resigned from the CURRENT House of Representatives, that makes him a private Citizen, but he was ALREADY elected to be a member of the next House of Representatives starting January 3rd, 2025.

[riceking]

OMG... was there NOTHING MORE IMPORTANT to talk about? And entire news show "ringing the alarm" about Trump. Come on.... this is why America doesn't trust the "free press" anymore. 😢

[gordonrichard]

This lady should not be the host because she talks with a slight speech impediment 🤦🏾
