8. That's a pretty broad brush- MSNBC has changed more than a chameleon in a Skittles factory

Since it first went on the air- FFS, Tucker Carlson and Mary Matalin used to have shows on MSNBC.

Currently, the only RW enablers at MSNBC I’m aware of are Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell. The rest of the on air talent call out the Big Lie, and highlight the current risks to Democracy on a regular basis. Medhi Hasan is hardly someone who “enables RW narratives”.

CNN, on the other hand, is actively courting Republicans; the new CEO has been meeting secretly with Republican lawmakers to find out what changes CNN needs to make in order to get them to appear on the network.

Big difference.

If you can’t see the difference between MSNBC and CNN, and between those networks and FOX, Newsmax and OAN, I can’t help you.
