Don't ask me why but my cable system does not include MSNBC. It does have FOX, CNN and CNBC.
Trust me I'm not complaining!
There are a few things that I figured out about MSNBC yeas ago:
1) The network lacks maturity, from stupid tweets to on the air remarks about Romney's grandchild. MSNBC is a mess, as reported by The NY Post:
"In the past two months alone, three MSNBC anchors - Martin Bashir, Alec Baldwin and Melissa Harris-Perry - experienced damaging cases of foot-in-mouth syndrome and had to apologize.2) Most people see MSNBC as opinion rather than news:
Two - Bashir and Baldwin - lost their jobs."
"In the Pew Research sample, two of the three major cable news channels had a fairly even distribution of airtime devoted to opinion and to newsgathering. CNN was the only one to feature more reporting (54%) than opinion (46%) overall. At the Fox News Channel, the split leaned toward moderately more opinion (55%) than reporting (45%).And, we give them a lot of attention every time that we repeat what they say!
On MSNBC, however, the mix of news and commentary skewed heavily in one direction. Fully 85% of the channel's airtime in the period studied was devoted to opinion. Only 15% of its programming was filled with reporting. And the time of day really didn't matter. The percentage of MSNBC airtime devoted to opinion was more than 80% in the morning (6-10 a.m.), mid-day (12-3 p.m.) and evening (6-10 p.m.)"
Stop listening and wasting our time. They don't deserve our attention or anger!
