Listen to MSNBC

They are so bashing Hillary on email story.I wish they would be this tough on republicans and I am not even a fan of her.

This is so ridiculous their bias for GOP.

Fox' is almost complete now. When I see MSNBC spouting the same crap as we endure daily on Fux and to a lesser extent CNN it pisses me off. Our liberal voice, indeed.

They were prasing Jeb Bush's handling of email over her.I had to shut it off.

So disgusting.It may change on MSNBC once ed is on but right now they are during daytime turning into Fox lite like cnn.

any MSNBC talent that takes a Liberal side, I worry that Big Ed will soon be doing weekend duty along with Rachel (eventually).

That wouldn't surprise me.Nor would it him getting cancled.Al Sharpten could also be in danger of losing his show.

MSNBC will soon be ilrelvent if they keep going in this direction.They will lose what little viewers they have.

I stopped watching Morning Joe a couple of years ago. I rarely watch Chris Matthews or Al Sharpton and I'm often tied up with home related tasks when Ed Shultz is on. Lately, I've opted out of Chris Hayes and Lawrence O'Donnell quite frequently. I still watch Rachel. When she's not there, I usually switch to a non-news program as I don't often like her replacements.

Seems MSNBC is losing their regular audience as a result of their programming choices. The end of Olbermann started my drift away from that network.

that they are shooting themselves in the foot to become more like Fox. They should dare to be different.

Republican treason that is attempting to push us into war.

How do they get people like Melissa Harris Perry and the others to play along so easily?

They admitted it back during the Bush years, and it looks like they're doing it again - getting extra cash to slant the news for them. Prolly the Koch's greasing their palms this time.

holding the progressive line while Rachel and Chris Hayes have been getting muzzled... I hope they jump to a different venue soon. I suspect that Rachel is venue shopping as she has been absent quite a bit since the reformatting last month.

If I were a highly respected and credible journalist, I'd be venue shopping too. Ed has his own outlets and he's safe whether they keep him on or not. I wrote to Rachel last night letting her know that I will watch/listen for her when she gets a new place to broadcast from.
