I'm sure this will surprise no one, but

10. I seem to be watching different shows than you all

I watch mostly Rachel and Chris Hayes, but when I watch Nicole, Ari, Lawrence, Alex, Joy, Velshi....all of them as far as I'm concerned are tearing Trump, Elon, and the whole fascist oligarchy apart. I fear what would happen if we lose MSNBC. I don't know what all the proposed changes will result in, or what Trump will do to them, but if we abandon them in advance how can they possibly survive?

Throwing MSNBC in the same basket as CNN doesn't help. CNN has recently swung sharply to the right. It's RW owners and recently installed RW CEO (look up what Kieth Olbermann thinks of this guy) have clearly chosen to appease Trump. MSNBC anchors as far as I can see are standing up to him, putting themselves at risk, and all we can do is complain that they are not doing enough. I don't watch much daytime and I know some anchors like Kristen Welker or Katy Tur aren't tough enough to my liking. But I have too much to watch anyway with the very effective eveneing anchors.

When Trump investigates or prosecutes Rachel Maddow will we have her back? If the conservative owners of MSNBC threaten to fire her, will we cry foul? Or will we just say she wasn't liberal enough, because, CNN?

There has been noise about different buyers for MSNBC, with different political orientations. I don't know how that has or is playing out. But would we be there to support a more liberal owner, make it worth his while, over the conservatives who have kept the network in check, and will desert the cause as soon as the going gets tough?

If we want liberal media, we have to support it.
