I had pretty much given up on all cable news. These last several weeks has changed that.

But the over hype is getting a bit annoying.

One night Maddow does a great show on Trump shady business partners and I think "wow great show." The next next day I see MSNBC has a countdown going for her "Russia ties" show and I think "holy shit this must be big" -- pfft. More of the same. Certainly not worthy of a countdown.

They are getting the audience based on good in depth reporting. No need to go off the rails with hype. It's probably the MSNBC execs getting greedy.
