their take on this or that. Often those people are employed by MSNBC as well as having some other job be it a reporter, writer for a magazine or just being an author etc.

New pundits come in from time to time but don't seem to get brought in as much as those in the stable. I imagine when they put those people under contract they want to get their money's worth and not have to take on wildcards or pay outsiders to do what they already pay their own pundits to do.

The best I think you'll get for the progressive side is current TV, The Young Turks and other progressive voices on the radio/internet. MSNBC is only a left leaning channel it really isn't liberal despite having some really liberal liberals on it.
