So, wait...MSNBC is liberal?

I got rid of cable tv a couple of years ago, and only recently found a web site (European, ironically enough) that streams something called MSNBC International. It is exactly the same MSNBC, except the commercial time is filled with self promos or weather. One of the nauseatingly recurring ads they run is a clip of Marco Rubio saying that no one in the Congressional gym is actually there to work out...they're just there to watch 'Morning Joe.' Yup. MSNBC, the liberal media.

I figure it must be a part of his contractual obligations?

And she is nothing short of remarkable, imo.
But she is the only MSNBC show that I pay attention to anymore.

and Lawrence O'Donnell is easy to watch.

Morning Joe makes me gag, as does Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd. Chris Matthews can be tolerated in very small doses.

But this is what passes for the liberal media.

Thank goodness for the internet.

They have liberal hosts with liberal views, but their ownership is not liberal. They are all about money.

In my view they were always worse than FOX BECAUSE they acted like a liberal source. It is kind of pitiful to see liberal talkers on their air stifled to comply with their owner's wishes.

They hate Trump and keep wondering when he'll screw up enough for his poll numbers to fall out. It's like if they say it enough, they're sure it'll eventually happen.
