Jen Psaki Moves to Primetime Weekdays in MSNBC Overhaul

12. I stopped quite awhile back and only catch it here or there when it pops

up on a TV or radio where I happen to be. Gone are the days when each of the 3 major networks would begin their new fall season of entertainment programming while also announcing the serious documentaries they were working on and to be presented during the season. "CBS Reports", "NBC White Paper" etc. were great programming. Later on when NBC ran "Weekend" with Lloyd Dobyns and Linda Ellerbee it made me stay home to watch. The content covered and the facts revealed were important and so very different than what is done today.

These programs consistently won journalistic awards for excellence but the networks have simply gone full on profit based has filled the screens of America with garbage. The "vast wasteland" writ large. So quality programming isn't where it's at for them any longer. Not even an attempt. They would rather run infomercials than do a serious documentary about, for example, what migrant field workers life is really like today in 2025. Instead they pay a couple of talking heads to throw phrases back and forth on the screen as the camera switches from one talking head back to the other and then move on to the next topic. So we get reality TV, insipid formulaic comedy, sports worship programming or repetitive plot "crime" shows of various government agencies going after terrorists every week.
