Mika and Joe have some interesting guests. I think they took a beating over the publicity around their meeting with Trump. Maybe they learned something and are keeping their heads down a bit.

I would want to see something more than the same story beaten and belabored, show after show, hour after hour, night after night, with the same slate of pundits, sometimes for a full week. In the day, I would want something more like CNN used to be decades ago, with reporters in the field bringing a variety of stories to viewers.

Do not get cable so haven't seen MSNBC in years.

Nicole Wallace irked me so much since she would post 'Breaking News' almost always when she started a new issue on her show. 'Breaking News' was at the bottom of the tv screen I would say 75% of her show, excluding commercials.
Almost Anything could be Breaking News.
I once saw a six month old report about eight months after election 2020 which read 'Trump continues to claim to have won the election over Biden'. Yep, Breaking News.
