I could be considered an MSNBC addict. Morning Joe in the AM, the back watching Nicole Wallace all the way through Lawrence O’Donnell.

I’m done with the whole network. I’m done with ALL the networks, and am calling for a boycott of any cable/dish/YTTV type service. Cut off the hand that feeds them.

I was shocked how they were fawning over the election results the morning after. Hopefully Maddow, O’Donnell and Wallace can find a new home with a backbone.

Cannot even look at Maddow anymore since her treatment of President Biden.

I was a huge fan of hers and then was saddened by her treatment of Obama. With ALL the other networks and people going after him, she needed to have been a voice pointing out what he was doing right.

Not counting on Wallace leaving. I liked her, but I could see her, as a former Republican, bending to the knee too.

I respectfully disagree with you. Nicole Wallace has not backed down in any way about Trump. Ron Filipkowski is a former republicon and an editor for Media's Touch. Do you believe he will kiss the ring?

I agree and hopefully she goes somewhere else that isn’t associated with NBC. CNBC was already in bed and now it looks like MSNBC is following suit.

Ron isn’t a host on MSM. That’s one big difference.

You may be right, that’s she’s enough of a Reagan Republican to not kiss the ring, but she might tone it down just enough to keep her job at MSNBC.

She's married to Michael Schmidt, New York Times writer. He is being sued by Assolini for $10 billion. So, it'll be interesting to see what she does. However, I'll have to read about it here because I'm only watching The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell at this point.

No- Nichole is not ever going to do that! You must not watch her much if you said that. It is absurd to punish excellent hosts for what one show did. That is ridiculous.

What a shame to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Nicole and Joy and Lawrence O'Donnell (especially) have been 100% truth tellers, principled, never wavering in calling out the evil and corrupt. I too am done with Joe and Mika. Will never watch again. But I'll follow Lawrence O'Donnell wherever he lands.

Agree with you Dela. Need to find a new outlet to get news first thing in the am. Would love suggestions but will continue to support excellent journalists at MSNBC like Rachel, Lawrence, Ali Velshi, Stephanie Rehl. Need to support those who are doing original reporting & bringing facts to listeners plus thoughtful & non Trump bias analysis.

Same. Having ad addictive personality, it didn't help to be addicted to MSNBC since 2012. But, I also quit cold turkey after the election. Instead, I'm not taping all things SPORTS! Have you ever watched "The Herd Live"? God I'm disgusted with national media. Oh, and I just today paid my subscription fee for Meidas. Cancelled WaPo months ago. NYT years ago.

@Randell ... The Resistance doesn't need them. They've duplicated what Nikky Haley and Lindsey Graham did following Trump's impeachment magic act--and after loudly proclaiming (both of them) how "devastated" they were with his outlandish lawless immoral behavior.

The duo hopped a flight to Mar-A-LARDO to meet with the bloated one, kiss his ring and beg for forgiveness. Joe and Mika are duplicating the same behavior in a vain attempt to sooth the savage beast. Well, guess what? That's not going to happen and "we" don't want them back. In fact, they won't be able to get back. The bridge is out.

People do not understand that kissing the ring will not wash off the “disloyalty” for Trump. Once disloyal, always disloyal. We have to fight to the end. There is no appeasement for dictators. Too bad they didn’t learn from history. I expected more.

I could hardly believe my eyes. I spent the last 8 years listening to MSNBC. Joe and Mika EVERY MORNING to start my day. I HAD to know what was happening and looked to them for my daily dose of hope. Since the election, my husband and I have stopped watching the news. It is too hard watching a very smug Trump and his family of grifters carry on. MSNBC and especially Morning Joe & Mika (shame on you Mika) really let me down. In my eyes they spent the last 8 years talking about how horrible he was and then he wins the election and first thing they do is bend the knee. Traitors to Democracy in my eyes. I remain one of the Meidas Mighty and look to you for the truth. Keep up the good work!

Consider the courage of independent journalists in Russia, which has been ruled by czars and their ilk for 400 years. They risk prison and death to tell the truth. There aren't many of them. For our corporate media, their livelihoods could be cut off. They could lose their podium. Not nothing. But not prison or death.

As well, I canceled my YouTube TV script do I won’t be tempted to even start watching CNN who also scrub the news in Trump’s favor. I’ve been watching

Scripps , Reuters News & peacock has NBC now which I’ll get which I’ll use all three for my national news. But I’m not paying for this garbage anymore. I haven’t even turned the news on since 11-5-24. And I’m gonna start to use more Substack podcasts for my news and analysis. I’m still waiting for the news to report on Trump’s loss of breath about two months ago now. He could barely finish a sentence without gasping for breath and not one news outlet responded to that.

I'm on Substack more and more. But there are some good foreign outlets where I get US news too. BBC. CBC, Guardian, and Le Monde are a few I check. There are plenty more to choose from. Just check and see who owns it. Times Radio is owned by Murdoch. No thanks.
