That MSNBC is what I call "minimum liberal. They cover gays, guns, and abortion, and maybe a touch of immigration. Even the support of these things have been half-hearted in the last decade.

People who support labor, or keeping jobs here, or defects with the Democratic Party are kept off this network. The network serves as the leftmost goalpost the rich corporate concern wants Americans to hear on television.

MSNBC and CNN coverage is the reason so many are seeking out sources on YouTube and other places. Their continued lack of support for the many liberal kitchen table issues, like higher wages, true health care, an education for all with student loan forgiveness, a huge infrastructure program, getting us out of wars, and maybe to start the first talks of a BMI program for all Americans is why so many are beginning to understand these networks as "Minimum Liberal."
