2. I used to leave MSNBC on most of the day and a lot of evenings

Then they fired David Schuster, Martin Bashir, Keith Olbermann and Ed Schultz. Many of the other hosts seem to be very subdued - Tamron Hall used to be very fiery in her co-hosting with David Schuster, now she just doesn't have the same zest.

Now MSNBC seems to be the GOP Primary Channel - all right wing nuts all the time. Since I change the channel as soon as a Republican starts talking, I have been spending less and less time watching anything on MSNBC. While I enjoy Rachel Maddow, it has been months since I have watched a single of her shows all the way through and I no longer make a point to tune in every night.

The good news is that I am watching more relaxing shows - at the moment I'm watching a Father Brown episode I recorded on my DVR. After that I may binge watch Ash vs. the Evil Dead or Doctor Who.
