Note: a lot more coverage of Bernie on MSNBC today

So far the 6pm est show with Mark Halperin has focused on him, as did Todd somewhat, right now they're doing the Arpaio story - John Heileman is in Arizona - and they were pushing the last guest to discuss Sanders - he wanted to pivot to Trump though.

Complaining works sometimes. Those figures of minutes given to Trump vs other candidates was OTT.

Party issues if they want to distinguish themselves from Cnn and even Fox, which is where it was going with wall to wall Trump coverage.

But the individual people there, the journalists, I don't have any hard feelings toward them specifically. I still like them, even. But yeah, I finally had enough of the network itself and left. I was cautiously optimistic when Obama won in '12, but it soon became pretty obvious they weren't going to do their much needed course correction.

Oh well, more money for independent sources as I had no reason to keep my cable bill so high.
