24. I'm taking a break, probably until well after inauguration day.

There’s only a few shows I watch, and not regularly.

For the most part, the network is out of touch with the interests of viewers under 50.

As good as some of the anchors are, MSNBC is not the media saviour many hoped it would be.

An effective progressive media ecosystem has yet to be created, and I’m not sure MSNBC would fit in one.

The future of progressive media is found in the likes of people like Medhi Hasan, Ali Velshi, and Hasan Piker (check him out!), as well as the podcaster known as Politicsgirl, among other women in non-traditional media.
