1. MSNBC used to be my favorite cable news channel....

but since they fell off the cliff, I have not watched them at all.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. It's crazy... Whenever they do a poll the results suggest their viewers lean left.

[spin]

13. Therefore MSNBC must feel there is not enough left leaning viewers ...

to increase their ratings significantly.

CNN leans left and Fox News leans far right. MSNBC may be trying move more into the middle and have some programming that appeals to liberals and some that appeals to conservatives.

Remember it the end run it's all about the money.

A number of people believe Morning Joe is far too conservative but it does well in the ratings.

A number of MSNBC shows set network records in 2016. Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski had a particularly strong year as Morning Joe delivered MSNBC’s biggest total viewer audience in the time period ever, and beat CNN’s New Day in both total viewers and the key A25-54 category. This marks Morning Joe’s 7th straight year topping CNN in total viewers.

2. current meme of attack the media as if they're not part of the problem is NO DOUBT faux news light

4. They've been heading in that direction for awhile now.

I never had cable, but when I'd see things like Morning Joe, Chuck Todd, and Chris Mathews, (I watch some of their content on youtube) I didn't really get the love fest some had with the network. Too many crap journalists and phonies.

5. Lol

Bring me my pearls. I guess overreaction is what people do on political sites.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. The GOP has FOX and Russia Today.

Why can't we have nice things like a friendly news station?

[Dem2]

8. I still watch who I like and avoid the same icky time slots

Nothing has changed for me. In fact, Gretta may actually be slightly more palatable than the previous spineless douches.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

9. I like Lawrence and Joy Reid.

[Dem2]

10. and Rachel too.

[bettyellen]

6. Greta is the last nail in their coffin. Not sure how long they will keep Joy Reid

and Lawrence ODonnell.

[LittleBlue]

11. I just saw Rachel do a commercial saying how nice Kellyanne Conway

was to stop by and chat. Was like a Conway informercial.

Fucking hell, Rachel

[Alice11111]

19. Yep. RM does Unabashed Conway advertisemt

Just like the ones she did for GVS. Matthews just spent an hour beating up media who ran news of DT. He didn't make the distinction of legit intelligence and Buzz Feed document, which wasn't intended to be anything other than ...here it is...and it was pretty bad. Came off as a defense of DT.
I had quit watching CNN because I couldn't stand the airhead Hostile Republican panelists.

[flamingdem]

12. I hate the sound of screechy Greta

It shocks me that they have her commenting, she's Fox at the core

[VOX]

14. Yes, MSNBC's FOX-ish, but so's every other cable news source.

Cant think of one network/outlet that hasn't "played it safe," so to speak.

I watch Rachel and Lawrence O'Donnell only once in awhile. Can't tolerate anyone else.

[Chipper Chat]

15. Everytime I switched the remote to MSNBC I heard the words "Donald Trump."

Over and over and over. They helped elect him.

[Squinch]

17. Has become.

[spanone]

18. i think it's 'has become'

Squinch has a great mind!

[Different Drummer]

20. They're already there.

They've been there for quite awhile.

[sarcasmo]

21. Has been for 16 months now.
