Watching MSNBC

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!

What kind of programming is this?
I am not knocking the actual issues being discussed, but what kind of
show has 3 minutes of program then has four minutes of commercials,
then 10 seconds of program then 3 minutes of commercials?
Networks love news programs because of low overhead
(compared to regular programming) but this is beyond ridiculous.
There is no excuse to do this other than discourage sentient beings their full
attention to this travesty of important information delivered in a way that is
unwatchable.

I could record the entire program and fast scan through the (seeming endless) commercials
like I do with sports programs but the issues are too important and I might not get around
to watching this program later.
This is not censorship but is close to it.
