Mostly because of burnout. I still keep up with the news but I am not interested in watching a 3-4 hour block of talking heads these days. I'm tired.

I did watch some last night. Lawrence was there and Ali Velshi has been doing incredible work during the Rachel hour.

Dr. Maddow is on leave to work on a film of her Bag Man podcast. She will return to MSNBC soon but intends to phase out of her anchor job in order to create other projects.
