17. They are doing this because they know that Fox is losing viewers

A lot of Trump supporters are angry with Fox, and MSNBC is hiring a lot of Republican consultants to try to appeal to these people. Its like Obama trying to woo Republicans for his first six years in office. It wont work of course.

And they cover literally every press conference Trump calls from start to finish. They do it for the potential of having a freak show so there can be hours of discussion about it. Although I love Rachel Maddow, Chris Hays, and Lawerence O'Donnel, for the station as a whole it is more about building ratings than "leaning forward".
