What happened with MSNBC? It's terrible now!

[Sterling]

I remember Alex Wagner and other very good people during the daytime schedule but now it's worse than CNN, at times it's like F#%.

1. That is what happens when you put a Republican in charge

[MADem]

2. To the right of Attila the Hun, isn't it?

CNN is marginally 'better' - for what that is worth.

9. I agree. But only marginally. eom

[OKNancy]

3. last time I saw Alex Wagner, she too had gone over to the dark side

her on one of the afternoon shows. She sounded like a Republican.
Also just saw this: http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/10/clintons-believability-problem/505775/?utm_source=poltw

6. That's too bad, she used to be more fact based like RM

It was nice while it lasted to have something the opposite of that other network I won't mention. CNN seems to try too hard to pander to the tea bragger crowd and I guess so does MSNBC now as well.

4. It's sucked since they booted Keith

I hardly ever watch it anymore.

5. Thomas Roberts

Just got blazed from James Carville ......

7. I saw that. It actually inspired my post :) nt

8. They're in the process of the 'switch' part of M$M's traditional 'bait 'n' switch', slowly turning

their 'news' reporting to give it a conservative bias - except for Rachel, Chris, and Lawrence. I'm wondering how long it will take before they're replaced with Con-enablers like Chuck Todd.

11. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz,,,,,

People have been whining that they'd be bumped off any day now. The coverage is still broadly center-left, but a juicy news story is still news.

[BlueCaliDem]

13. Exactly. Too many people are asleep to see what's happening. There's a reason why Hillary is almost

as distrusted as Trump. That isn't an accident.

Coverage on Trump U lawsuit? Dead and gone.
Coverage on the Federal case filed against him for sexual assault of a child? Zip.
Coverage on his huge ties with Russian billionaires and that he got hundreds of millions selling condos to them? Nada.
Coverage on his refusal to release his tax returns? Dead and gone.
Coverage on Ratface Chaffetz' leakiness and lies about "FBI reopening criminal case against Hillary? Zilch.

But Clinton EMAILZZZZZZZZZ!!!! 24/7.

And yes, I know you didn't mean the above when you held your finger on the z-key.

[relayerbob]

10. Now?

I quit watching after 2008

[Warpy]

12. Don't tell me you're surprised

Mornings have always been awful as they pandered to an old, conservative demographic. Once they got rid of Olbermann due to a combination of his temper and lobbying by Morning Joke, the whole enterprise started to slide downhill. Liberal afternoon and evening hosts have been replaced with more conservative hacks who are willing to toe the corporate line.

I don't know how anyone can stand to watch the swill known as cable news. I was stuck with CNN and not much other fare in the hospital a year and a half ago and couldn't stomach more than 10 minutes of the reporting of utter minutiae as though they were bringing the end of the civilized world.

IOW, just turn that shit off. Your blood pressure will thank you.

14. Sterling ...

I have friends who STILL try to stomach a whole days worth of msRNC's bs, and they constantly email me or call me to complain. I tell them to JUST STOP WATCHING! Problem solved, their blood-pressure is all good


Since they were bought by Comcast, they've taken a turn right. I can only watch ONE show host over there consistently and that's Joy-Ann Reid. She's fantastic. I still watch Lawrence Occasionally, sometimes Chris Hayes and Rachel, but even Rachel sometimes loses me at times now-a-days. But, those are the only hosts I can stomach watching over there. As one other person said in this thread, CNN IS "marginally" better, so I sometimes watch them, but not continually. I pick and choose my spots.
