What does a Bernie win mean to MSNBC?

[NorthCarolina]

There's no doubt arguing that MSNBC is stumping pretty heavily for Hillary. I just wonder, where will the network go should Bernie be the nominee for the Democratic party? I have to guess that would put them securely behind the 8 ball.

I will give them credit for anticipating this turn of events given that they dumped any pundits with liberal leanings early on..like Ed Schultz, so they absolutely had to have some foreknowledge of events.

Currently MSNBC is preaching that Bernie is the unelectable SOCIALIST with unrealistic ideas but, what if he wins? Do they jump behind the GOP nominee? CNN and FOX will of course already be there, so is there enough room for all three cable networks behind the GOP nominee?

I was just kind of bored, MSNBC on in the background and listening to Matthews spew his anti-Bernie babbel and it hit me, what will they do if he wins?

Thoughts?

He and Mika just adore Bernie.

7. Bernie gets plenty of love from Chris and Rachel too

The O/P must be watching some other channel, or was PO'd that they actually felt bad for attacking Hillary so much and gave her the benefit of the doubt last night.

5. You might recall that he rabidly vilified Hillary in 2008

while getting a tingle up his leg for Senator Obama. So I'm not sure what motivates him. Is it his corporate masters?

6. I would think MSNBC, and every other cable news channel

would be thrilled with a Sanders win. Things would certainly be much more interesting, and thus generate many more viewers, than if Hillary was the nominee.

8. Who cares? Not even worth thinking about.

9. They are corporate media, so they will go GOP.

10. It doesn't matter the future is not on cable tv

But for the sake of argument ....If Bernie wins , by definition the millennials will have come out in force all over the primaries and will turn out even more in the general and Bernie as POTUS is virtually assured unless he is assassinated or dies. So all the cable outlets will have to play very nice because they know Bernie means what he says and he could make things very difficult for them in myriad ways
