Fox at least has a bit of variety and spirited debate. I knew after watching a bit of MSNBC and in particular Rachel Maddow that this network was full of China First, entitled, socialist embracing, cerebrally challenged crazies.

Seems those on the inside see the Pravda for what it is.

MSNBC producer resigns from network with scathing letter: They block 'diversity of thought' and 'amplify fringe voices'


A former MSNBC producer wrote a scathing open letter explaining why she recently left the cable news network.

"July 24th was my last day at MSNBC. I don’t know what I’m going to do next exactly but I simply couldn’t stay there anymore," Ariana Pekary wrote on her personal website. "My colleagues are very smart people with good intentions. The problem is the job itself. It forces skilled journalists to make bad decisions on a daily basis."

Pekary provided a number of examples of why she wanted to leave the cable news network.

"It’s possible that I’m more sensitive to the editorial process due to my background in public radio, where no decision I ever witnessed was predicated on how a topic or guest would 'rate.' The longer I was at MSNBC, the more I saw such choices — it’s practically baked in to the editorial process – and those decisions affect news content every day," Pekary said. "Likewise, it’s taboo to discuss how the ratings scheme distorts content, or it’s simply taken for granted, because everyone in the commercial broadcast news industry is doing the exact same thing. But behind closed doors, industry leaders will admit the damage that’s being done."

She then quoted someone she described a "successful and insightful TV veteran" who said: "We are a cancer and there is no cure... But if you could find a cure, it would change the world.”

Good for her but it is not like that was any great secret.

It's nice to see that some networks have employees that can rise above the baked in biases and write about it so everyone knows. Perhaps a good fit would be Fox where both sides can be heard.

MSNBC is owned by Comcast and Comcast ain't in the business of putting anything above profits.
 
I have just heard about her resignation on a conservative radio talk show this morning.

Yes, she deserves to be commended for her journalistic integrity.

But as this talk show hosts explained, MSNBC is NOT in the business to give the "news."

Its goal is to give its viewers negative views about Donald J. Trump.

And it does an excellent job.

That is why I have not watched even one minute of MSNBC since the inauguration.

And that is why so many liberals do watch MSNBC. It simply makes their day to listen to Ms. Maddow and that "reverend."
 
people on the left are emotional. they want emotional validation, not the truth.
