Coincidentally(? ), MSNBC has been singling out Warren and Brown (as in Sherrod), even though

they were not the only Democrats who were opposing TPP.

As a populist leftist who has had it with New Democrats, I don't think I will pretend that MSNBC is "my" political news station.

name is escaping me right now were the ones I saw. However, I did not watch MSNBC much that day. My experience has been though, that an editorial policy is evident from show to show. So, if I've seen something once or twice, it's likely, though not guaranteed, that other instances have occurred.

By "correspondent," I mean someone who appears as a guest commentator on various MSNBC shows often, but does not have his or her own show. For example, Ronan Farrow has been a correspondent since he lost his own show.

If I think of the correspondent's name, I'll post it or pm you. For now, the best I can do is male, gray hair, soft spoken, and, to my knowledge, never had his own show anywhere.

Everyone is marginalizing what used to be the center base positions of the party. Even MSNBC?

This is BS.
