'What's Happening at MSNBC?'

[SpankMe]

44. Yeah, I hate MSNBC's rightward turn. But, MSNBC's all we've got for the time being

When I say "all we've got", I mean it's the only ostensibly liberal national network on the air. The big-3 networks, plus PBS and CNN are basically "normal" (i.e., not liberally biased), but they're not FoxNews in tone, either.

MSNBC, despite their recent "moderating influences" is still mostly liberal leaning (with a few exceptions - ahem...Morning Joe). If MSNBC goes out of business for whatever reason, we fall back on liberal TikTok'ers, liberal YouTubers, liberal podcasters and the like to get our preferred perspectives. These social media resources are fragmented and you have to specifically subscribe to, and look for, them. Only liberals will access them. We'll be in a bubble.

MSNBC, on the other hand, is on all cable and satellite networks and could (and likely would) be accessible to anyone channel surfing.

The MSM isn't getting out the information the public needs. MSNBC largely does. If it goes away, then conservative perspectives without a counterbalance will dominate.
