Her nightly broadcast are getting to be fewer and fewer and not as substantive as they used to be. I miss of in-depth coverage of current events and exceptional "scoops"
Her podcasts are good but she was doing a public service with her nightly coverage of current news events...now MSNBC as become just a regurgitation of the daily programming and the same news that is repeated over and over again.

The end.
PS. I'm finding the slants of your posts interesting.

(28,699 posts)She could use some support for her detailed news coverage, and I don't think she's getting it from MSNBC any longer---not like she used to.

Btw, I also disagreed with your other OP this morning that "Trump has made it so that no one has to respect our courts, our laws, or our values." It seems an odd response to the messages sent by both our party and the voters in the midterms. Even the previous strong rural support for trumpism has measurably weakened in many areas, including the midwest.
Also, after a month of your prolific involvement with the community here, I would think you'd realize most Democrats have to respect these things because it comes from within us, is part of who we are.
Hope whatever is causing your part of the disrespect for our courts, laws and values that you mistakenly ascribe to everyone has already passed, just a low mood perhaps?

It's like she only wants to cover a few topics and stretches through her writing. I love her, but her show, IMHO, has gotten lazy... Maybe that's her style to be repetitive to reinforce the points she's trying to make. She only has a couple of guests, and she brings in a lot of history... I dearly love her, but I miss her old shows where she packed in more news.
