I used to watch A LOT, and now barely even flip it on. I'd have it on in the background in the office throughout the entire day.

Comcast got its wish. A media watchdog did an analysis of MSNBC before and after Comcast took over control. Prior to their ownership, discussion and critique of the TPP was featured in segment pieces at least 46 times in the 3 months before Comcast formally took control. In the 9 months after Comcast took control, the TPP got 2 mentions of on air discussion and were neutral in it's commentary on the proposed deal.

They've neutered and / replaced the entire channel.
