text only MSNBC?

Does anybody know if there is a way to get a text/photo only or at least a text/photo mostly version of MSNBC online news? As near as I can tell, it is all video/audio clips with some text summaries.

I'm one of those who prefers to read rather than watch/listen.

It would appear not. Even NBC.com is all video. Fla Dem May 2018 #7

I also like to read rather than listen, especially because so many news folks talk faster than I can listen.

I may have to play around with the accessibility programs on my computer and see if speech to text is available for online videos.

Thanks

If there is a setting, I'm unaware. Video/audio just doesn't do it for me; I seem to process/analyze the printed word better somehow. Maybe it's because of the culture jam "jolts"?
