13. I don't watch MSNBC at all, have not for some time. Really don't know what their intentions are for

their various shows or their supposedly news side but so far they are really screwing up. Right now as far as the cable of which I don't put a lot of stock in CNN has the best overall news coverage (in my opinion). Just watched a Bernie Sanders segment & it was a really good in-depth panel discussion of him & his campaign. Can't say how much MSNBC is devoting to Bernie, sounds like not enough for some. Also, CNN has been doing some stuff in Flint about the lead crisis & getting ready for the debate which I think is very much needed & the people seem to appreciate what they are doing.

I don't know if MSNBC is trying to suck away fox watchers but if they are they will lose. It seems they were trying to make Scarborough their big anchor show or something which is wrong-headed.

Maybe they are still trying to find their way or place in the cable world. The one thing they need to realize is that studies have shown except for a few, maybe most of you on the Underground, liberals, progressives, college do not spend their lives listening to talk radio political shows or watch them to the extent the right-wing or republicans do. That is because they are more intelligent or selective in how they get their news & keep up with campaigns. I know I have never listened to the right or left talk radio because that is my entertainment when I am driving. Also, these days, probably get most of my news from online like the Guardian & other newspapers. I also find Dem Underground a good place to catch a lot of stuff, have been signed up for a few years but don't actually comment frequently.

All that said; will be interesting what happens to MSNBC. I thought they were going to bring Keith Olbermann back, haven't heard or seen anything on that for a while. Maybe someone here knows.
