and they had to remit. They are slithering down a slimy slope with me at this point.

I have also noticed a troubling trend for online viewers with many channels, including CSPAN... you have to log in by identifying a TeeVee provider to view live content anymore. I tried to watch SoU speech last month on CSPAN and was informed that in order to watch in real time, I would have to log in by that method.

I think that MSNBC is suffering from the corporate gravitational pull into a dark abyss of mindless distraction. I hope that Rachel is using her "off air" time to seek a new outlet for her journalism... because her current employer is becoming a propaganda outlet rather than a news source - not that they have been a news source for some time at this point.
