I remember years ago, trying to watch FOX News to understand better where people on the right are coming from, my conclusion was that you could not watch FOX News and not be angry and outraged, it is a 24 hours a day outrage machine. MSNBC has warped into the same thing, you cannot watch MSNBC and not be outraged. Sure, there's plenty to be outraged about, but they take the most unlikely scenarios these days. MSNBC makes people less happy, I try to let my wife know too, that MSNBC is not healthy.
I am not saying MSNBC is equal to FOX News at all, MSNBC doesn't lie, they report facts, but they've tapped into that formula FOX used to come to prominence of telling their audience that everything is outrageous over and over.
