MSNBC is better than many, but that says very little.

But in this absurd political climate, it's bad to assume anything. If it wasn't rhetorical, maybe the follow up should be, "Do MSNBC on air personalities prefer a paycheck or to be smacked about the head and shoulders? Let's smack a few of them around so we can have their fully informed opinion."
