thus killing all leftist podcasts by flooding the zone with too many hosts all saying the same shit and splitting the audience

off several networks (MSNBC, CNBC, others) into a separate company, presumably so it allows them to be free of NBC and Peacock, so they can stream the channels on more platforms.

4. I'm sure you are correct, but after the spin cycle, what will MSNBC look like?

Hopefully less Turr and Mitchell and more O'Donnell, Madow, Phang, and Reid.

They could decide to make it a generic news channel like CNN... but it's possible (being free from NBC and cable) they could become even more liberal and decide to fully take on Fox in a way they've never been allowed to. Or they could just stay the same - we just don't know.

3. Will be interesting to watch what happens. We criticize MSNBC, but it's infinitely better than FOX.

Loved Air America, hope this doesn’t turn out similarly.

I’m old, so don’t necessarily trust bloggers/podcasters as my main news. But younger folks embrace it. So it goes.
